“It’s become standard to say the Israel Palestine issue is complex and of course it is. But the war is deceptively simple. No state has the right to massacre civilians.

“The Gaza war is a mass disabling event, where the casualties are not only those who die but those who survive.” On the 1st anniversary, I wrote about a hidden horror: the plight of disabled Palestinians - and the tens of thousands of civilians maimed by Israel. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Actively resent how chipper the Tory party conference is. They had a catastrophic election! They destroyed the country! That they get to laugh at how badly Labour is doing already and discuss their return to power is an insult and I hold Keir Starmer personally responsible.

Of course the wannabe Tory leaders have regrets. They think they weren’t toxic or nasty enough | Frances Ryan

“Months on from historic defeat, there is little sign the Tories understand what got them there. Nor any remorse for the state they left the country in. Forget NHS backlogs, mortgage hikes or Partygate. It never happened, or at least none of it matters.” My col. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
