Political volatility shows no sign of abating. And we need a media capable of cutting through the noise, unshackled from corporate interests, telling stories which really matter. Help us grow. Go to novara.media/support!

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

If none of the Jackdaw gas was exported, the most optimistic scenario has it meeting 2% of the UK’s annual gas demand over a 10 year period.

‘Christopher Nolan has turned him [Odysseus] into a sufferer of PTSD, and Calypso - Charlize Theron is like his yoga teacher therapist on his island. He's on a little retreat. She's in her bikini. It's not sexual. She helps him get in touch with his feelings, and he gets over his PTSD and his guilt so he can go home to his wife.’ Ash Sarkar talking to Catherine Liu about Christopher Nolan's fundamental misunderstanding of The Odyssey.

That's 'Novara Media' skank. Sometimes 'Radio 4' skank. Never been on GB News.

Grns performed as Britain Predicts expects. But Lab outperform. To what extent that is... A greater willingness to tactically vote Lab to beat the Grns And/or A reflection of the Labour bounce in London ... needs some research. Will change a few dynamics either way.

From everything I’ve heard and seen, here’s where we are in Holborn & Stp - I think: Lab: 41-43% Greens: 31-33% A decent showing for Greens, & maybe slightly above May. It could mean dozens of MPs in a GE. But you can’t but feel it could have been higher…. We’ll see.

For context.

For context, Labour's majority in 2024 was 11,572. In 2019, it was 27,763.

Gone live with @michaeljswalker and @AaronBastani! Tune in.

@AyoCaesar, @AaronBastani and @MichaelJSWalker will be live-streaming a Holborn & St Pancras byelection special from 9.45pm tonight. Will Zack Polanski take Keir Starmer's old seat, in what would be the Green party's biggest challenge to Labour yet? Or will Labour's Sagal Abdi-Wali, the Camden council leader and a Starmer ally, crush the Greens' hopes of electoral success? Tune in for analysis, special guests and news from the count: piped.video/watch?v=9UeH93ny…

"They are f*cking aroused by private developers." Today, voters in Holborn and St Pancras will decide if they want Green party leader Zack Polanski as their new MP – or Labour's Sagal Abdi-Wali, the leader of Camden council, the London borough in which the constituency falls. But sources have told Novara Media that it is a stronghold for the Labour right, characterised by purges of dissenters, cosiness to corporate interests and a lack of vision. Read the full feature from @StevenJMethven on what's been described as ground-zero for Starmerism: novara.media/4rOwAX2

.@andrewfeinstein: "Palestinians must be the determiners of their own future, that its not for any of us outside of Palestine to determine that" 🎯

Journalists aren't allowed into any of the plenary sessions – including on uncontroversial topics. Fair enough to want to be allowed in (so did I!), or to make the argument that it's good for transparency. But it's not just this vote that press were barred from attending.

Pro-Israel protestors outside the Green Party make up for what they lack in numbers with a certain terrier-like tenacity. One gentleman caught my eye and barked "Do you want a fight? Is that what you want!?". I mean no, not really!

In Brighton at the Green Party conference? Do come along to our programme of fringe events tomorrow culminating in our flagship deep dive: “Where next for the Greens?” 4:15 in the Alexandra Room, The Grand.

Breaking: the Met Police has submitted charging files to the Crown Prosecution Service resulting from its Grenfell fire investigation. The files cover 54 individuals and 20 companies and cover charges including fraud, misconduct in public office and manslaughter

Last year, Lord Mann stole our microphone. It came after he claimed he'd never spoken about Israel, which had done - repeatedly. This time, this happened.

Incredible scenes as @novaramedia’s Michael Walker questions @YvetteCooperMP over her decision to proscribe direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. To date, her policy has led to nearly 4,000 arrests of peaceful protesters under the UK Terrorism Act.
