Israel has been exterminating Palestinians for decades, it's not a war against Hamas, it's against Palestine. Any media outlet that would try to hide that with deceptive termanology is obviously a huge piece of shit.

in as few words as possible, what would (or could) a "vision" of Utopian socialism look like? What does it mean?

A lifelong Democrat, she said in the poll that she would vote for Mr. Trump over Mr. Biden, whom she called “too old and a bit out of touch” and “a bit of a doofus.” Yet she believes the problems in the country had more to do with gerrymandered congressional districts than with Mr. Biden. By the end of the interview, she said she “will likely vote for him again — I’m just not happy about it.”

“Honestly, it was more of a choice of it just not being Joe Biden,” said Clara Carrillo-Hinojosa, a 21-year-old financial analyst in Las Vegas, of her support for Ms. Harris. She said she would probably vote for Mr. Trump: “Personally, I think we were doing a lot better when he was in the presidency, price-wise, money-wise, income-wise.

Yet in some ways, Ms. Carrillo-Hinojosa is the kind of voter Mr. Biden hopes he can win once people start focusing on the race. Mr. Trump has offended her as a woman, she said, and she likes some of what Mr. Biden has done, including his support for Israel.

“My biggest thing is not seeing America fall in shambles,” he said. “With this war I think Biden is way too lenient — with Hamas, Iran, Iraq, the whole nine yards. What I like about Trump is he was keeping everybody at bay and not wanting to mess with America.”

Mr. Maxon, who is Black, said Mr. Trump had made racist remarks, yet he plans to vote for him. “He’s helped out countless Black people, more than Biden did by a landslide,” he said. Specifically, he said, it was through pandemic unemployment assistance and other relief funding at the start of the pandemic (the Biden administration also distributed relief funding).

In news that won't surprise people paying attention at the time but has finally been 'noticed' by news reporting (the way British media usually operates), the funds for Starmer's leadership election including illegal donations, breaches of electoral law, and a shady slush fund from shady interests.

I linked the Novara article as the Sunday Times original is behind a paywall, plus there's some other links for context.

What's interesting to me is why this is reaching the surface of the British media now. The press hedging it's bets in case the dissent in the Tory party does take down Rishi? Plausible deniability as they grow uncomfortable with Labour's massive polling lead? A warning shot for some perceive recent sleight?

Journalist asks a dumb question roughly: "You said the Israelis dominate the Palestinians, is that a helpful thing to say". She references the 1975 apartheid convention.
