Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

My much requested deep-dive into the latest immigration statistics begins!! Part 1: What is the gender & age breakdown of asylum seekers?

When the target of the much-vaunted “precision weapons” deployed by Israel and its puppet, the US is a girl’s primary school, with 150+ defenceless children massacred, you’re left in no doubt that this is state terrorism and the perpetrators are vile criminals. news.un.org/en/story/202...

Settler pogroms in the West Bank. Every night, every day. Trespassing, threatening. Beating people up, shooting at them. Killing livestock. Torching houses and mosques. Every day. Every night.

Sweeping new measures that expand Israeli control in the occupied West Bank will cement de facto annexation and bring an end to the Oslo Accords, analysts say, dashing hopes for a Palestinian state.

We're still pouring tonnes of rubber crumb into school playing fields exposing players + workers to health risks dumping PFAs + microplastics into the local environment EU are banning it from 2031, why not the UK? www.salamandernews.org/council-igno...

You know who isn't backing off right now? @desmog.com Just today, we published Rei Takver's Q&A with @adambecker.bsky.social about how Silicon Valley tech billionaires, those one time climate saviors, have invented new forms of greenwashing and climate denial 👀 www.desmog.com/2026/02/04/q...

Fundamentally flawed economic models mean #climatecrisis could crash global economy, experts warn - Shocks from extreme weather disasters and tipping points are entirely missed by the current models used by governments and financial institutions Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lewisham council plans rubber crumb football pitch at Whitefoot Lane, Downham. Rubber crumb pitches will be banned in the EU and NI, due to dangers to young players. But in England, it's all good. Wonder where EU's unwanted rubber crumb will end up? www.salamandernews.org/council-igno...

My original repost had an error. Queer AF has worked tirelessly to establish these facts. Trans ppl make up ~0.5% of the population but account for ~7% of U18 suicide. Clear evidence of the fatal consequences of the anti-trans efforts of successive governments, media and groups like Sex Matters

Entries are absurdly unbalanced, to favour US govt false statements, in a scenario where "sharply contested" both sides reporting would be highly inadequate BBC are here being a real time conduit of the misinformation that they say their mission is to verify+counter www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

and, although I've been on a losing battle on this on several projects this year!, PII is a USA term - not UK The UK term is <personal data> and it means something different If you mix it up then so might people offering you solutions to "solve PII issues" that misunderstand UK data protection...

This week the government quietly published a 'Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security assessment': www.gov.uk/government/p... Meant to be out last year, but rumoured to be blocked by Number 10: www.theguardian.com/environment/... The judgements are stomach-churning

Flooding in Mozambique, from my friend Malungelo Booi reporting with Newzroom Afrika 600,000 people affected .. hardly being covered here in the UK. Waiting on @wwattribution.bsky.social for the rapid attribution report, role of climate change

Savages! Settlers assault people, set fire to homes and cars in Bedouin encampment in West Bank www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Let's put this really simply. ✅Migrants pay bills ✅Migrants buy things ✅Migrants create jobs and boost economies All of this includes undocumented migrants btw 🚨Cutting immigration undermines jobs for everyone, along with the economy as a whole. Migrants don't take jobs, they help make them.

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

No, @nytimes.com (www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/m...), experts do NOT agree emissions reductions aren't adequate to prevent 2C warming. You're using a false premise (see climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...) to justify potentially dangerous interventions (which take pressure off decarbonization)

Not one person has lost their job or been forced to apologise for supporting Israel’s genocide. You can support the mass murder of Muslims & you will never be in danger of losing your job in media or politics or the arts or business or education. Suggest Israel are wrong, & you will be targeted.

By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

a grave and flagrant violation of international law ..

Labour facing tough London elections in May. “The whole of the Olympic Park belongs to the Greens,” Labour source says. “There is no Labour party presence in one of the most sizeable developments in the whole of London… It’s all Green, Green, Green.” Story w @matildamartin.bsky.social

Worth noting the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize has been encouraging Trump to do exactly this ever since she won the prize. Another one to add to the dismal record of that prize committee, too. bsky.app/profile/elio...

Starmer has declared his ambivalence in the strongest possible terms and announced that the British government will equivocate with immediate effect.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

There are 160million GP consults / year Just 65 more GPs employed could have delivered 1.9million appointments over 5 years and covered this ‘huge’ number of A&E additional attendances Imagine what 6000 more GPs could have done if 2019 Tory commitment had been met ~ 180million

Harassment, violence and vandalism routinely drive people from their villages in Area C, but three recent cases show the practice extends into areas controlled by the PA, and the IDF is actively taking part- Matan Golan reports www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

In Gaza, one way in which the Israeli military used AI was to give a score to almost every person in Gaza who has a phone number, determining how likely it was that person was a member of Hamas or Islamic Jihad. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Zuhrah is in a critical condition, now on day 50 of her hunger strike she could die aged only 20. In 1981, Irish republican Martin Hurson died on day 46. The government has refused to engage & reverse the decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.

Doctors Without Borders urges Israel to let critical aid into Gaza as children freeze to death. "At least 13 people, including two-week-old and one-month-old babies, have died from winter weather and a lack of adequate shelter and aid – blocked by Israel" www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...
