I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

And, despite being briefly on Radio-4 Today programme, new news on AMOC risk is not even on BBC news climate tab (which is no longer a visible tab by default). The ultra rich have their ways to influence the BBC

Frontlines of the climate crisis: 1 in 3 people in Somalia face severe food insecurity. Repeated droughts, harvest failures and livestock losses are fueling conflict and displacement, while food and energy prices surge.

Beggars belief that Met Police is in talks with #Palantir about giving them access to highly sensitive data, when there’s already such concern over its links with ICE & Israeli military. Palantir already has UK contracts worth over £500m, incl. with NHS. We should be scrapping them not signing more

Unicef - yes Unicef - pauses operations in north Gaza Strip after contractors killed. The Israeli military killed two Unicef-contracted truck drivers at a water point in the northern Gaza strip.

Has any media besides @theguardian.com even covered this horrifying news?

BBC so are you going to cover this?

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought - Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas #AMOC #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It fought section 28 but couldn't survive today's hostile funding environment @consortium.lgbt

People need to understand how bad, how devastating, how unjustified Israel’s bombardment of Beirut is — it’s not just yet another of the strikes that have become routinized. Catastrophic civilian harm and human suffering that simply must not be shrugged off as normal and forgotten. Stop the madness.

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

We’re, literally, cooking the planet. 👇🏼

Baby supplies and canned food among the ruins left behind by Israeli airstrikes in Beirut Israel wants you all to believe this is Hezbollah

Cornish Mazraa Beirut just now. Israel is bombing throughout Lebanon

It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people. We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government. This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.

Zack Polanski says UK must 'immediately' withdraw all military support it's giving to US given Trump's latest threats - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Israel destroyed 17 cameras monitoring UN peacekeeping facilities in Naqoura yesterday

Yes, and I suspect part of this is to stop people like us looking at whats being blown up.

“That the universal credit cut will affect new claimants says the quiet part out loud: anyone can become disabled or ill. And every time governments slash the safety net, we can’t know if it’ll be us, a loved one or stranger who will fall through it.” Today’s col www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“More than 113,000 civilian sites, including homes, schools and commercial facilities, have been damaged in US-Israeli attacks, according to figures released by Iran’s Red Crescent and carried by state media.”

Many leading legal minds and luminaries on this list. Over 100 International Law Experts Warn: U.S. Strikes on Iran Violate UN Charter and May Be War Crimes

So it turns out the real scandal of the Gorton and Denton by-election was the willingness of media organisations to collude in Nigel Farage's attempt to undermine the result of a free and fair election www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/how-the-bb...

The Palestinian Authority Military Liaison is warning citizens in the West Bank to exercise extreme caution due to the spread of Israeli settlers and planned attacks on Palestinian villages and towns. 9 Palestinian villages and towns are under attack, currently, by Israeli settler arsonists.

I am so blown away by this article and how no one involved seems to comprehend that the simple solution here is TO NOT USE SOMETHING THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP AS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF JOURNALISM www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Israel deliberately targeting medical facilities in south Lebanon, say health workers Medics and officials say there is systematic use of double-tap strikes in campaign to make the south uninhabitable www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

This is utterly jaw-dropping. A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...

The Israelis bombed another ambulance in Lebanon yesterday and killed three paramedics

As a general rule, if an opponent of Israel calls for any kind of peace talks or reducing the temperature in any way, Israel kills him

Dean Baker was among the few economists pointing out the housing bubble leading to the 2008 crash of the banks & insurers who had deregulatedly gambled on that bubble, so him clarifying the AI bubble should also draw attention.

Big – and very welcome – news for the local media industry today. This piece includes quotes from my boss @davidfloydnews.bsky.social, who says: “I hope this fund is able to kickstart sustainable new models for local news that prioritise on the ground journalism that is valued by local communities”

War is a climate story that billionaire media owners would prefer goes unreported So far, billionaire media owners are getting their way...

"Palantir, the US AI surveillance and security firm with hundreds of millions of pounds in UK government contracts, poses 'a national security threat to the UK', according to two anonymous high-level sources working with the Ministry of Defence."

Heating oil prices in the UK have trebled in a week. 2 million homes, no price cap protection, no warning. Heat pumps + solar are multiple times more efficient, don’t require an oil tank and oil deliveries and are an insurance against such frightening price spikes.

When Israel targeted Gaza’s water supply, people rightly called it out as a war crime, denying civilians the most basic supplies.

Not only did the US, per its own ‘intelligence,’ bomb this girls primary school, THEY BOMBED IT TWICE. www.reutersconnect.com/item/the-pri...

"Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth None of them through the Strait of Hormuz" Top @billmckibben.bsky.social post here billmckibben.substack.com/p/sunlight-t...

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.
