I don’t think there is anyone here who doesn’t want an end to the violence. But sadly at this moment in time both sides have made clear they will not agree to a ceasefire. Hamas says it wants to repeat the massacre of October 7th “again and again”. And hostages remain captive in Gaza. In reality, voting in Westminster last Wednesday will not change that.

Finally got round to reviewing the lengthy email my labour MP sent me about the ceasefire vote:

Nine days.

Thanksgiving is infamous for family fights about politics. It’s a time when overworked Americans take a breather and start reflecting on the world. They have time to watch the news criticially.

The last thing Biden and Netanyahu need during these four days are Americans being confronted with more images of genocide and deprivation as they overeat.

Biden needs this pause during Thanksgiving as much as Netanyahu does. They both need to stop the support of the American people slipping away. It’s no wonder then that Netanyahu issued this video message to the American people.

Thanks. I thought it was a hard hitting investigation by a crack team of reporters. Glad you set me straight.

I haven’t seen toys in cereals for years. Did it get outlawed?

in the mid-2000s, in-box cereal prizes began to slowly die away. There isn't a clear-cut, singular reason for this; It was likely a combination of factors such as environmental reasons (less waste), the possibility that some toys could break and become choking hazards, and companies wanting to cut extra costs.

The Observer posted:

Allies of Keir Starmer claim he has the backing of Labour’s grassroots over his stance on sex- and gender-based rights after a new poll of members suggested they support the party’s updated position on the issue.

The party shifted its stance in the summer, abandoning its support for self-identification – which would allow people to legally change gender without a medical diagnosis. It announced the move alongside support for making the process of obtaining a gender recognition certificate far simpler and less invasive, as well as continuing to ensure some single-sex services and places could only be accessed by biological women.

While the issue remains a controversial one within the party, Labour Together, a group closely associated with Starmer, said a new YouGov poll of Labour members it commissioned showed broad support for the leadership’s new line.

A majority of Labour members (62%) said they believed there are some cases in which transgender women should be excluded from single-sex services and spaces, with 22% disagreeing. Two-thirds (67%) approved of Labour’s new policy to streamline the securing of a gender recognition certificate by removing a panel of doctors and lawyers from the process, allowing a single doctor to diagnose “gender dysphoria”. The party has said that continuing to require a diagnosis “upholds legitimacy of applications and confidence in the system”.

you might be wondering whether Labour deciding to be more transphobic might be transphobic, but don't worry, the set of "people who still think it's worth staying in the labour party" have answered a couple of very vague survey questions and so it's fine actually

if you haven't had enough of cis people telling trans people what's fine then don't worry, Sonia Sodha also has another column comparing trans rights to Iran and the Taliban

My JOHN LEWIS (landlord owned) fridge has decided to start screaming throughout the night because it just loves icing over and trying to kill itself. I’ve turned it off opened the freezer now and am slowly realising it is probably colder in the flat than inside the freezer so it might physically be impossible to de-ice it lol. Barmy Britain innit
