15,000 scientists warn of societal collapse. Yet nearly half of Brits think climate change won’t affect them. This gulf in perception is why we’re staging the National Emergency Briefing on the #climate & #nature crisis in London this Nov 👇 Please check if your MP is attending: www.nebriefing.org

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left. And it’s not even close!

Zelensky on Russian drones: Europe must recognize Russia’s intimidation tactics and reconsider importing its energy. “Drones reached our partners. Just check the map. If they’re Russian, how did they get there? One way is through European waters,” he said, calling for comprehensive restrictions.

I wonder if this guy is related to "Boris Johnson" who introduced "voter id" as Prime Minister in 2023 ... off the back of some crazy US conspiracy theories ... and in the process, made digital ID pretty much inevitable.

This is so dangerous and patently untrue.

Some of you may remember I spoke about my best friend being assaulted by an ICE agent inside a Manhattan courtroom, as she was accompanying one of her students to his immigration hearing. This is the same man.

Yvette Cooper suggests international community on brink of Gaza peace deal

At this point someone in the Labour leadership needs to call out Farage's devotion to an American government that seems to be hellbent on waging war against American cities

I've taken on vested interests. I was accused of 'class war-mongering' by opening free breakfast clubs, so children get fed. Now, I’ve announced an expansion to half a million more children. If you want more 'class war-mongering' of this sort, back me. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It’s terrible when people try and impose a particular lifestyle on you and undermine society. But enough about Danny Kruger’s opposition to abortion, same sex marriage and human rights. Don’t let these jokers get away with it. Swipe left for the corrected version.

The next election will be about immigration, which is about Brexit - Brexit is the main reason we can't tackle the small boats. Because of something so damaging, every election will be about the consequences of Brexit but no one wants to tackle it. The obvious answer is to rejoin the EU.

It always come down to a lack of investment: Gillian Tett on #r4today points to recent taxes a bit, but the foundational of UK slump has been austerity (the antithesis of investment) & Brexit.

‘Clean Kill’ pest control - brilliant #bbcpm

Dozens at the UN General Assembly walked out as Netanyahu gave a speech calling recognition of Palestinian statehood a “disgraceful decision.” Meanwhile, the ICC still has active warrants accusing him of crimes against humanity.

Sorry, did I just hear Yossi Cohen claim on #r4today “for many, many years Israel has tried to help Palestinians survive Hamas atrocities” ?? How exactly? A province wide blockade & crushing sanctions on meds & everyday equipment?

Government already has a database of employment, Nick - it’s your National Insurance number. Keen to know what’s NEW in the digital ID - otherwise it’s just a gimmick #r4today

Took the sleeper down from Paris to Nice once. Woke up early (as who can sleep on a train anyway?) & watched dawn break over the med. that was pretty magical Nice was a bit of a wake-up call though! #r4today

“Papers Pleeez” - Tories still living in the 1940s … Germany, it sounds But it’s right to say digital ID won’t stop illegal work unless there is an incentive for migrants For that there must be a record of work included: e.g. ability to work would contribute to your claim to remain #r4today

Oh come off it #wato Farage will NOT be the next PM He might end up wielding undue power in a Tory Reform coalition (god help us all!!) Something that will be more likely if Labour carry on the Tory habit of playing musical chairs with the top job.

Surely, one of the Labour government’s biggest comms failures has to be its habit of relinquishing the coveted 8:10 slot to the Tories #r4Today

Oh #r4today will be talking to a Tory for the 8:10 about Labour’s potential JLR small business support What a surprise!

Hang on #wato !! Tory boy was a Home Office minister on asylum & is able to claim he wasn’t responsible or aware asylum seekers were racking up huge taxi fares???? He seems to be trying to claim its Labour’s fault. Is it?

The phrase “Down with the kids” just makes everyone feel old #r4today

Is Russia really probing NATO airspace to test NATO’s resolve to defend itself? Makes it sound like Putin is conducting a team building exercise to boost NATO’s self esteem Or is it to provoke a conflict? #r4today

Realistic choices for shutting asylum hotels: 1. Forced repatriation 2. Temporary work permits 3. … er? #R4Today

Is JaguarLandRover manufacturing sites in India shutdown from the cyberattack? What support is Tata Group offering supporting businesses? #r4today

“It’s over for the Tories!” How many times have you heard that one since Thatcher’s departure? #wato

Ahh Nick, just couldn’t resist interrupting a ‘Lefty’, could you? Good chat with Matt McAlester & Alastair Campbell #r4today

Justin Webb blurring the lines between journalism & story telling Why am I surprised ??! #R4Today

This has to stop. People deserve better than this. It’s naive to hope we can stop migration: we have to develop better systems; ID cards, Migrant Insurance Numbers, etc, to close these hotels #r4today

Sue Mitchell’s report on life in these ‘expensive’ asylum hotels: #r4today www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sorry, but to discourage migrants from coming to the UK & paying your way by working for a living, We instead put you up in a hotel free of charge for as long as it takes? The fuzzy logic of the far Right & why UK has so many expensive contract migrant hotels explained on #r4today

I’m just going to leave this WaPo story from April right here.

Hats off to Jim Reed for a stellar report on autism … & for having to take seriously the latest insane ramblings from the world according to Trump #wato

What is a ‘Deliveroo starter pack’? A pizza steamer bag & a copy if the Highway Code? #youandyours #wato

It’s an interrupt-athon … #R4Today must be interviewing someone from the ‘woke’ Liberal Left. Yawn!

Britain does have a better track record negotiating peace with terrorist groups than Israel Setting conditions (demands) for peace doesn’t really work. John Major tried it with the IRA & it failed. Blair got there by dropping pre-conditions #r4today

Engine ‘efficiency’ over 25years has delivered is a tiny 2-3% emissions improvement Gatwick claim expansion will mean an extra ‘750 additional flights a day over London’ Breath that in #r4today

Ah, the “Palestinians only want the annihilation of Israel” trope gets another airing on #r4today Also: “majority of Palestinians want Hamas as their leaders” = Palestinians only have themselves to blame for what Israel is doing to them

Oh isn’t he so clever with his words? NEXT #r4today

Why on earth is #r4today leading with this Nuremberg memorial rally?

Gatwick ‘accepting stricter restrictions’ on noise involves paying residents to install triple-glazing, or estate agent fees & stamp duty for those who can’t stand the noise. That’s not a plan to tackle noise pollution! Needless to say there’s NO plan to cope with more air pollution #r4today

Kids still play Conkers? #r4today [Searches AppStore]

Agree that 2state solution isn’t a 1967 thing #wato It represents the need for Palestinians to live free from Israeli occupation & oppression So shouldn’t necessarily be lines drawn on a map to reset Israel pre-6Day war

Thought two state solutions has remained the UN & international pursuit for decades? Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, Golan Heights & now once again Gaza is internationally recognised as illegal Why then is UK recognising a Palestinian right to independence ‘rewarding Hamas’? #wato

Interviewed James Dyson for @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog...

I was interviewed by Jan Antonissen ahead of the cycling championships in Rwanda. Striking how many media outlets doggedly gloss over this event's political aspects, despite the fact Rwanda already politicised it by banning a Belgian journalist. www.humo.be/nieuws/wk-wi...

Worth asking what Russia’s response be to a similar Nato incursion into their airspace would likely be? Not saying we should do it. But wonder if Nato planes would be escorted out or forced to land / fired on? #r4today

1000 migrants? How’s all that cash the UK taxpayer is spending on the Gendarmerie panning out: They still rolling-up their trousers to wade in & help stop the boats? #r4today
