Dr Derek Summerfield: "1,700 health professionals have been killed in Gaza.. a number are in prison.. they wanted to make an example of [Dr Hussam Abu Safiya].. he has clearly been under torture & starvation.. Israel has impunity, impunity is the key to understand these things"

I just signed Foxglove's petition to Andy Burnham: if you become our next PM, get Palantir out of our NHS. A secretive US spy tech firm with deep Trump ties has no business holding our health data. Add your name: www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/an...

Four years ago Roe v Wade was overturned. Meanwhile, in London this week, Nigel Farage spoke at the 'Alliance for Responsible Citizenship' conference attended by well-funded anti-abortion campaigners. ARC is bankrolled by GB News owner Paul Marshall. Since 2024 GB News has paid Farage £700k.

Surgeon Nizam Mamode, who was recently in Gaza, says people in the UK dont realise whats still happening there Presenter: who do you blame for that? You Mamode says the evidence is overwhelming, & he references yesterdays UN report that Israel targets & kills Palestinian kids

Red Cross reports Palestinians are digging for the bodies of people in approx 61 million tonnes of debris. That’s 20 X the total amount of debris generated by all wars since 2008. Many families will be unlikely to ever find where their loved ones lie. Compare and contrast.

“Reform has the most extreme policy on energy and climate the UK has seen since modern science on the subject began. The party opposes solar; it opposes wind; it opposes batteries… Once again: Reform is largely funded by fossil fuels” Private Eye on the anti-thought, pro-corruption threat of Reform

Nine years…and how long was it until Hillsborough families got some kind of justice?

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Zeina Khodr: "This used to be a health clinic, a clinic that provides vital medical services to people who remain in southern Lebanon.. what [people] tell you is they believe this is part of a policy, a strategy to depopulate southern Lebanon, to make the area uninhabitable"

Well, the left hate him because he's the figurehead of a multi-year effort to excise them from democratic representation, the right hate him because they think he's a Muslim communist and everyone else was pretty disengaged already and he ran on change then didn't change much. That about cover it?

Whoever you vote for today remember: Labour came to power in 2024 with an enormous majority promising change, then scraped and bowed to the worst people in the country, and pitch-rolled for Reform. They had a chance to change Britain for the better and flushed it down the toilet. So vote for hope.

#BLM OTD 1884, 21-year-old Ida B. Wells refused to change seats on a segregated Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern Railroad train. She paid for & was sitting in 1st class when she refused to move & was violently removed because of the color of her skin. #BlackAmericanHistoryIsAmericanHistory

Reform took a £5m donation and they're trying to distract you. Farage is just another establishment stooge. Like in Gorton & Denton - the only way to stop Reform on Thursday - Vote Green. Join.greenparty.org.uk

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I am both pro Palestinian & I'm Jewish, and I care about Jewish safety. There's no conflict in those positions.. where some of the conflict comes is actually from Netanyahu, who frequently conflates peoples Jewish identities with supporting the Israeli govt"

The press and establishment are scared witless that the greens will repeat their Manchester by election success so they're deliberately being disingenuous and attempting to smear them as much as possible.

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

BREAKING A dozen sign-holders have shown up outside Woolwich Crown Court today. This is in response to the Met’s draconian restrictions on yesterday’s peaceful (and totally lawful) vigil outside Woolwich Crown Court, where two sign-holders were unlawfully arrested. Live 🧵

BBC fails to name Israel in 50% of reporting on attacks in Gaza Shockingly but unsurprisingly, the BBC has never reported on various genocidal statements made by Israeli officials either www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

Mmm. A man who wears a state crown because his mum did, probably isn’t in the best shape to tell Lord of the Apprentice tv show he’s a busted flush. (Mind you, he’s not wrong)

I think this is quietly brilliant

Odd framing of a people’s identity by The Guardian! I think you’ll find they’re “Iranian Jews”… you know, like American Jews or British Jews or Iranian Muslims or British Muslims or… 😮‍💨 you get the point

Listening to Starmer on #TheNewsAgents . He’s a 🐸* isn’t he? (Not a frog)

Maguire: "Overall benefit spending as a share of the national economy is about where it was 10yrs ago. The fact [Robertson] has gone for benefits shows it as a highly political attack" And not only is it about the same as 10yrs ago, we spend less than most European countries

Is the war over? #Trump #Iran #TACO witch v which ?

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms: It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment. We must protect jury trials.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

A new report and survey of trans people reports that 99% of them have had their mental health negatively affected by the barrage of anti trans stories in the UK media. 64% avoided medical care due to discrimination. This is a crisis. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Reading through Sourav Roy and Tuhin Bhowal’s fine anthology of contemporary Hindi poetry, PERENNIAL, I was stopped cold by Seth Michelson’s razor-sharp translation of Rati Saxena’s devastating “Refugee”—a poem for our time, for all times. “…like kites holding tight / to the ruins…”
