Moving, not moving on?

Moving house is a back-breaking master class in logistics. But it’s also an emotional rite – moving from what was to what will be.

@GordonBrown How about your former boss, Tony Blair, whose illegal war you supported? He seems to be doing a good job hiding in plain sight for the crimes he inflicted on the people of Iraq.

@GeorgeMonbiot While Vladimir Putin certainly deserves to stand in the dock for his crimes in Ukraine, so long as the ICC never indicts or prosecutes western leaders suspected of war crimes, it will be an ultimately unjust and partial legal institution. twitter.com/DiabolicalIdea…

Today marks 7 years since Egyptian authorities froze all my assets and suspended my only bank account “pending investigations” into my human rights work in 2016. Keep cozying up to Sisi don’t mind me

It's good that the International Criminal Court is standing up to the murderous excesses of Vladimir Putin. But if the ICC is to become truly just and truly credible it must also stand up to western war criminals, such as George W Bush and Tony Blair. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

Whenever someone expresses concern about how automation is irreplaceably annihilating jobs, optimists point to the job creation potential of the 'knowledge economy'. But even the tech sector is shedding jobs like they were an uncomfortable skin.

The cruel irony of the British government's 'Stop the boats' policy is that neither PM Rishi Sunak nor Home Secretary Suella Braverman would be in the UK today had their parents faced similar restrictions when they immigated. Talk about a monumental failure of empathy.
