Excellent! Available to the many undocumented Brits in Spain too Spain formally approved extraordinary regularisation scheme to grant legal residence & work rights to around 500,000 undocumented migrants marking one of the most far-reaching immigration decisions in the country’s democratic history

When we won our first international match over the Swiss by 215 runs in 2018, we drove a car over a Toblerone and did a Viking thunderclap to celebrate. It is important to cultivate an intimidating aura.

Will nobody spare a thought for the scammers?

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA. We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material. In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights. link.europa.eu/Fh8h84

Writing with @rupertread.bsky.social about just how devastating the Government- suppressed security report is, particularly its conclusions about our food insecurity. Ministers should be helping to build our resilience to these threats, not burying the report that contains them 👇

🚨 Bottom trawling is still allowed in ~95% of Scotland’s waters, including marine PROTECTED areas This highly destructive fishing is continuing to destroy habitats and threaten livelihoods. Real protection means banning it from all ocean havens, NOW! apnews.com/article/scot...

For a party that claims to be against it, Reform has been taking in a lot of refugees recently.

Two things to learn from this. 1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors. 2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

🚨 5 Days to go - National March for Palestine - Hands off Gaza ⏰ Saturday 31 Jan, 12PM 📍Russell Square - Whitehall Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people has not ended. Join us for the next march for Palestine to demand our government end its complicity in Israel’s violence.

🙌 Major climate win!  Amsterdam has become the first capital in the world to legally ban meat and fossil fuel advertising. 🌍 More than 50 cities worldwide have now pledged to ban the advertising of fossil fuels. www.desmog.com/2026/01/23/a...

Fossil fuels + biofuels use high levels of water in extraction, production + in energy generation, says IEA. If governments pursue the most ambitious net zero targets, water use in the energy sector could reduce by 20 billion cubic metres by 2030. share.google/c83aimcM6FOP...

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Excellent and courageous investigative journalism. The fact that it is (apparently) legal to do this to people is utterly disgusting.

HORRIFIC: the Trump admin is reportedly planning to dump hundreds of parents and children arrested in the interior (including Minneapolis) into extraordinarily dangerous Mexican border towns, and make them run a gauntlet of kidnappers if they want kangaroo court hearings.

Man "murdered" by federal agents in Minneapolis. There, fixed it for you. BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj... Minneapolis live: Man shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis named as US citizen Alex Pretti - BBC News

The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible. It leads on "sharply contested narratives" It has a dramatic skew to the US government It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Videos show police officers shoving protesters to the ground and herding them outside Prison Wormwood Scrubs.

Western countries are hitting refugees twice: they are making it harder to claim asylum *and* they are cutting aid to troubled regions. I went to Sudan, the world's worst humanitarian situation, where the UN refugee agency has had to cut half its staff. Please have a read: as.ft.com/r/df593f1e-e...

Exactly the same thing BBC and Sky did with Renee Nicole Good. "A says X, but B says Y." Sure, but Y is on actual fkn video, so maybe just watch it.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

NEW: A second US citizen killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis, a 37 year old man. Officials say the man had a handgun and there was an “armed struggle.” Anyone who has been in Minneapolis recently will not be surprised. As our report says, it’s been made into a powder keg.

Palantir is a military corporation profiting from genocide and emboldening surveillance of civilians by abusive police forces. @zackpolanski.bsky.social delivered a letter today to Palantir CEO Alex Karp demanding the end of its contract with the NHS. Get Palantir out of our NHS- now.

Diss Amnesty has week in, week out held a vigil for the people of Gaza, making sure we remember the ongoing dire humanitarian crisis. I was pleased to join them against last Saturday and talk about how I am pressing our Government to do more, including on access to aid and healthcare
