This is a truly excoriating and well-deserved take-down of the National Press Club @PressClubAust by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges. You really, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 should read it. His words cut like a hot knife into butter. #auspol #GazaGenocide johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

James Elder from Unicef on BBC World Service: A lot of children still here, children on the street .. chaos as 100s of people trying to access water trucks ... little girls aged between 5 and 11, they can't possibly compete in the panic .. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Israeli Defense Minister Katz: "Those who remain in Gaza City will be terrorists and terror supporters." In other words, Israel declares its intention to exterminate everyone in Gaza City who could not move south. That is what calling everyone 'terrorists and terror supporters' means.

The scenes from Gaza City are terrifying and desperate on Channel 4 News right now. This horrifying war - so much death and suffering and cruelty.

Eyes on Gaza where apartheid Israel is carpet bombing and now threatening with mass murder the people in Gaza City. This must end. #GazaGenocide Israeli Defense Minister: Palestinians in Gaza City will be considered ‘terrorists’ if they don’t evacuate mondoweiss.net/2025/10/isra...

The destruction of Gaza City is a crime against history Centuries-old mosques, churches, and ancient artifacts all face obliteration as the Israeli military systematically flattens what remains of the city. By Baker Zoubi in partnership with Local Call www.972mag.com/gaza-city-de...

Desalination and water recycling are measures to fix a water crisis. They're expensive +, before we turn to these, we should be taking much more cost effective steps to prevent that crisis happening in the first place. 10/10 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

There’s been a mass walkout at the UN as Netanyahu delivers his address.

Over 3,000 people have emailed Virgin Active to ask them to stop following transphobes, and follow the law. Will you join them? https://action.goodlawproject.org/virgin-active-stop-following-transphobes-follow-the-law

And if the Global North (obviously not including the US) finally decides that international law does in fact exist, there are *a lot* of people who should be getting very nervous about being held accountable for their collaboration in genocide.

Well there goes the notion that the Brits somehow understand this moment in history.

Israel’s targeted strikes on two newspaper offices in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, which killed 31 journalists and media support workers on September 10th, marks the deadliest global attack in 16 years and the second deadliest single attack on the press ever recorded. cpj.org/2025/09/isra...

yes @karenhao.bsky.social saw it first, Empire of AI

Jensen Huang says we have to build more fossil gas power plants in the middle of a climate crisis so he can keep selling chips. The UK Govt shouldn't be entertaining this for a second.

Amid the UK Govt's enthusiastic announcement of deals with Trump and Big Tech, it's worth remembering the clearly stated aims of Trump's 'AI Action Plan': The "unquestioned and unchallenged global technological dominance" of the US: www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Great event and real pleasure to discuss winning the Info War alongside @rashmee.bsky.social and @dorothystein.bsky.social. Definitely an amazing audience and well done the St John's Society for pulling it all together. Still buzzing with new plans for the Media Revolution this morning!

Misinformation such a huge and overwhelming topic ... but thanks Rashmee, Steve and everyone who was there in real life ... this is part of the fight back ..

My working assumption has been that sanctions on Israel could have a real effect by galvanising the opposition to the government; that the constituency that would be adversely affected by sanctions still has enough power to bring political change. We're getting close to testing this hypothesis.

More expensive than renewables, slow to develop, "fast tracking safety checks" .. and AI datacentres prefer renewables anyway Why is the UK doing this? How much are we subsidising this huge step backwards? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Today would be a very good day for the UK govt to delete its accounts on X.

This is hugely problematic. The overwhelming majority in the UK reject the far right yet our views aren‘t being properly articulated in the public sphere: the papers largely support it, the BBC is a mix of supportive & supine, the government simply absent

The shame of it all. How low we have sunk. This isn’t what Labour voters thought they were voting for, it’s not what Labour members or elected councillors or I am fairly sure 90% of the newly elected Labour MPs want. It’s indefensible from any democratic or progressive POV. A horror show

At last. Farage and Cooper's performative cruelty is not who we are. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

The language used by GB News reveals such a skewed picture of life in Britain that it’s hard to see how it could claim the values vital to any real news channel: accuracy and integrity. Check out our full investigation 👇 goodlawproject.org/gb-news-the-...

We have the tools to resolve the housing emergency. Let’s use them. Read our latest report “Restoring Council Housing After Right to Buy” by Adam Peggs in full at our website 👇 shorturl.at/uinwq

“The biggest increase in social ... housebuilding for a generation” Yet, the UK is set to lose over 8x as many council homes in 2025/26 as were built in 2024/25. Labour’s plans for council and social housing aren’t working. 🧵 But there’s a key method the Govt hasn’t tried. shorturl.at/uinwq

Hard to tell from this bland announcement just what the government plans for asylum appeals, so I’m trying not to speculate. But I’ve worked in the sector in various roles since 1987 & I’ve seen a lot of policy proposals come & go so I have Thoughts on the dysfunctional way we decide such things 1/🧵

I've been on anti-war and anti-cuts marches 10 times bigger, even 100 times bigger that have barely received a fraction of the coverage. Seems the media are more sympathetic to the far right than they are to people advocating adherence to international law and a Keynesian approach to fiscal deficits

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.

they were killed in a double-tap strike. that means israel bombed. journalists and aid workers went to the site to document and rescue people. then israel struck again.

The Gaza Famine is the world’s famine. A preventable, predictable famine. Enough. Ceasefire. Open all crossings, north and south. Let us get food in, unimpeded and at massive scale.

can't wait to see it Pete,

Aid groups report that Israel is refusing to allow any olives or other “fruits or vegetables with pits or seeds that could be planted” into Gaza. They will only allow in pitted olives.

India, Pakistan and Israel are the only countries on Earth to have not signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons - all nuclear states. Israel is the only one of those three to have never declared its nuclear weapons.

I am completely fascinated that the rest of the media has been so uninterested in the reach of this front page and its reaction. I have had one request to speak on it from CNN and one from some mad right-wing American outlet. Nothing from Scottish or UK media at all
