3 February 1942 | A French Jewish girl, Marcelle Pizanti, was born in Vichy. In June 1944, she was deported to #Auschwitz together with her parents. Jacob and Alice. None of them survived. --- ▶ A short video about gas chambers and crematoria of the Auschwitz camp: https://youtu.be/-A05i25j9Ck

More integrity in his little finger than his detractors have displayed in entire careers.

I would be really grateful if FWS stopped their hate campaign. Life would be so much better for everyone. The Main Stream Media could help, by not amplifying their hate messaging

I live in Gorton. A split left vote and our first past the post electoral system could deliver a Reform MP who won’t care less about the community. At the moment I’m voting Green. But my vote won’t really count until we #GetPRDone.

A viral image which supposedly shows Nigel Farage visiting a child with terminal cancer in hospital isn’t real. It’s based on a real picture of a boy with cancer, which has then been edited with the help of AI to include the Reform UK leader.

Anti-trans group set up by 4 mums "has *dozens* of members nationwide" and gets a big write up in the Telegraph. @transparentaction.bsky.social a pro-trans parent group set up by 4 mums has over 1350 signatories to it's pledge. Crickets. Please sign and share actionnetwork.org/petitions/tr...

The reality is that gender critical activists aren't actually "for" anyone. They are just "against" trans and non-binary individuals. It is repeatedly shown that anti-trans ideology and policies harm women as well. That's the thing when you undermine one group's rights, it undermines those of others

It's a matter of commonsense that cases should be based on an individual basis. Once again Gender Critical activists demonstrate that they really don't care about protecting anyone, just ensuring maximum harm comes to trans individuals. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm off to Brussels to mainly talk EU trade policy but there may be a bit of UK EU in there - not least the disconnect between positive vibes and negotiations that aren't completely on track as far as I can tell. Never mind customs union talk. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

PRIVATE EYE NAMED IN EPSTEIN FILES In the latest files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein released by the US Justice Department, the Eye is denounced as “an absolute rag of a publication” by Epstein’s then lawyer, Paul Tweed… 🧵1/5

In a normal, sane world, Starmer would realise his colossal mistake and would review and cancel any Palantir government contracts

EU Commission visa strategy - ec.europa.eu/commission/p... Including: - more specific rules for a country to get a visa waiver (sounds like this would be similar to US Visa Waiver Program) - possibly stricter rules re supposedly insufficient cooperation on readmission or other migration issues 1/

One thing to be added to the whole Mandelson saga - those who want to be close to the centre of power and will do anything to get there are unlikely to be the most morally upstanding of folk. Something that those reporting on politics like to ignore.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

Yesterday evening was spent dealing with a fairly heavy attempt from Professor Flyvbjerg's lawyers to take this post down. It is still up.

Arguments being weaponised against trans individuals are exactly the same as those used against others in the LGBTQIA+ community in 80's/90's under things like Section 28, something which Labour in the UK has brought back against trans and non-binary individuals. 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To anyone who says that voting Greens will split the progressive vote, harm Labour and get Reform in, I say this: it is entirely in Labour’s power to do something about that. Reform the electoral system and introduce PR and everyone can vote with their conscience

1. In a stunning new poll released by Fox News, voters prefer the Democratic Party to the Republican Party on transgender issues at a staggering +22 points. This includes white voters, rural white voters, black voters, protestants, and moms. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Oh, and 4. Despite the demand for proportional representation from Labour members, Starmer won't change our ridiculous First Past the Post system. So he's in no position to blame anyone for "splitting the vote". share.google/buxD1tZ5BfKk...

The DOJ is now removing some Epstein Files documents it has just released.

It’s unacceptable that House of Lords seem to be filibustering this critical Bill. HoC debated & took decision to pass it We need robust scrutiny but talking it out or disingenuous amendments like “an individual cannot travel abroad in the 12m before an application” are designed to wreck.

I think this chap might be in breach of the Public Order Act 1936... which banned the uniform he's wearing in the first place. Any legal experts like to chip in?

Statement from CNN on the Don Lemon arrest:

Good, sorry but there is no other way to say that. He murdered an innocent person and should be locked up. The fact he was an asylum seeker is irrelevant though, and it is. This is the justice system working as it should do. 1/9 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm absolutely devastated to learn that Nat Dye has passed away. He was an amazing campaigner for assisted dying. This coming Wednesday I'm going to a variety show he organised in London and I hope that even though he didn't quite make it, he was proud of that and everything else he had achieved.

Trump comes out against presidential immunity for acts done during a term of office.

I'm not prone to exaggeration but this is probably the biggest scoop I've ever been involved in Mandelson's partner took £10,000 from Epstein to pay for his osteopath course while Mandelson was de facto UK deputy prime minister, according to new files more to follow www.ft.com/content/c950...

Indeed, this summary of his 'analysis' contradicts anemic recent polling for Reform. Mason might as well be paid by the party.

Sex Matters repeatedly tries to bully organisations into discriminating against trans and non-binary individuals through legal action. That's even when the majority of people affected, as in this case don't support them. Good to see them being dismissed like this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

No organisation existing solely to eliminate trans people should be a charity. #DeregisterSexMatters

The Council of Europe votes by 2/3 majority to accept the resolution banning conversion practices, brought by UK MP @kateosbornemp.bsky.social. #SexMatters and #AthenaForum tried their best to derail this resolution, but failed. Huge well done to everybody involved 🙌🙌🙌

Sorry to soil my timeline but this did make me laugh…you? Took me a moment… Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
