I’m at the #NBPAConference asking tough questions in front of a great audience. It promises to be fascinating: BBC Panorama has chosen today to release its investigation into alleged racism, misogyny & abuse of power within the Metropolitan Police

When I hosted a show at LBC many of you wrote to me asking me to watch The Labour Files and to interview Martin Forde KC. In heavily biased legacy media environments doing that was a risk. But as journalists it’s our job to platform perspectives the public should hear without fear or favour.

If you see this, please share it. Then listen to the media to see if you hear them mention it.

Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been axed by ABC who claim the decision is down to falling ratings instead of his repeated criticism of powerful political forces and prevailing right wing narratives. Gosh, we’re so lucky that we live in a country where private media companies would never do that..

“What happened to me is part of a broader purge of Black voices from academia, business, government, and media — a historical pattern as dangerous as it is shameful — and tragic.”

Sangita @sangitamyska.bsky.social, with @novaramedia.com using her journalistic expertise as a voice on the ground at Robinson's racist march.

'The bravest people in the world' - huge thanks to @sangitamyska.bsky.social for a moving speech at last week's vigil. “A Palestinian journalist being killed is not just the death of one person -- it is the death of journalism.” #StopKillingJournalists See the full speech here:

⚡️The Trump administration has just sanctioned 3 leading Palestinian human rights organizations- Al Haq, Al Mezan, and PCHR. This type of action is normally reserved for terrorists & drug traffickers. The move will severely damage the orgs ability to advocate for and protect Palestinian Human Rights

It’s been an unexpected and unpredictable journey. Thank you for always being there. Happy Anniversary, Mr M x

I was honoured to speak at the vigil for Palestinian journalists killed during Israel’s assault on Gaza, organised by the London Freelance chapel of @NUJofficial. It was a shame a far right activist tried to disrupted the event. It matters not; hundreds of us turned out in solidarity.

If you have Indian (& especially Maharashtrian) heritage, today is a day of celebration. We honour Ganesha - the god who symbolises the removal of obstacles, wisdom & good fortune. So, to those who believe & those that don’t - I’m sending you good wishes. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!

You couldn’t make it up…

Israel double tap strike. It murders journalists then sends a drone in to kill the paramedics trying to retrieve their bodies. A war crime, broadcast live and sponsored by the US and Europe. 🚨Boycott EVERY news channel that doesn’t show this footage today🚨

Murdering journalists is a war crime.

Lucy Connolly was not a hero, nor was she a political prisoner. She is, however, a case study in the psychological disorder of fake victimhood created and manipulated by politicians with a far right agenda. This is what she tweeted:

This is an urgent and important question from @adambienkov.bsky.social Again this summer, British citizens are being terrorised by the organised far right and the silence of mainstream media and our political leaders is astounding and dangerous bylinetimes.com/2025/08/20/w...

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

SNP members will use their party’s national conference to push the Scottish Government not to enforce the Palestine Action terrorism proscription north of the border, The National can reveal

Last year LBC ended my show after my interview with an Israeli official went viral. I’ve had lots of interview requests since then but I wanted to wait for the right outlet. Meet ‘Turn Left’: a volunteer led, independent, media org, who focus on reporting important news stories & political issues.

The Israeli Govt appears to be paying Google to place propaganda accusing UN for “deliberate sabotage” of humanitarian efforts in Gaza by failing to distribute aid. It does not mention the 766 people shot dead at US-Israel backed GHF aid distribution sites. Seen today on YouTube.

Nothing will embolden antisemites more than deals like this. One foreign country getting favored and special treatment, as well as protection from criticism, on college campuses at the insistence of the United States government.

One reaps what one sows.

“The court has found that punishing someone for sharing facts is illegal; I was punished for my political opinion”. Journalist Antoinette Lattouf wins her Australian employment tribunal against ABC News. She was unlawfully fired, after she posted a Human Rights Watch report about Gaza.

Sending thoughts and prayers tonight to Matt Yglesias, Jonathan Chait, Ritchie Torres, Charlie Kirk, Libs of TikTok, and many more.

Part 2

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

“restoring stability in a region in tension” Ursula Von der Leyen’s latest statement remains as disconnected from reality as usual. #Iran #Israel #UnitedStates #Trump

“Palestine Action said that pro-Israel groups had lobbied for the ban and there is evidence to support that contention.” “We Believe in Israel, which Labour MP Luke Akehurst used to be director of, began a campaign this month to ban Palestine Action.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

⚡️NEW⚡️BBC says Gaza Medics documentary it commissioned will *not* air on any of its platforms. “We have come to the conclusion that broadcasting this material risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect” 1/

So, BBC continues to shelve its doco by @basementfilms.bsky.social @bendepear.bsky.social about medics in Gaza. In the meantime, @alexcrawfreports.bsky.social & team have produced ‘Doctors on the frontline: Victoria Rose & Tom Potokar take you inside the war in Gaza’. news.sky.com/video/gaza-d...

Bookmark this for future use. March ‘25: Tulsi Gabbard: IC cont to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. 5 days ago, Marco Rubio: Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved. Yesterday, Donald Trump: We now have complete and total control of skies over Iran.

It’s been an honour to be a judge for this year’s Amnesty International Media Awards 2025 . The quality of journalism was outstanding; choosing a winner was incredibly hard. Congratulations & good luck to all the nominees. Thx to my fellow judges ahead of tonight’s ceremony. @amnestyuk.bsky.social

🚨 A statement: Over the past year James O’Brien & others have made claims about my departure from LBC. I’m restricted in what I can share with you but hope the statement below will draw a line under the matter. My focus is on moving forward. I am grateful for your continued support, Sangita

Fantastic to be reunited with my former colleague and all round legend Reeta Chakrabarti @reetacbbc at the @EasternEye ACTA Awards, where she scooped Best Presenter 2025 👏🏽

Doctors & journalists have risked their lives to make this BBC Gaza doco which had passed editorial and legal compliance. The BBC should either air it or allow filmmakers @BasementFilms @bendepear to take it to another broadcaster. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...

Very sad news emerging about the murder of 2 Israeli Embassy staff in DC. A suspect is in custody after shooting which left the couple dead near a Jewish museum in Washington on Wednesday night.

I was chatting to a friend and we were discussing the strange way in which some politicians, presenters, journalists and commentators appear to have had a sudden epiphany about the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. She then reminded me of this book…

Yesterday, the UK, France and Canada apparently woke-up to the idea that Palestinians in Gaza may be victims of a genocide. But they knew. Israel knew. We all knew. 16 months ago. Because the International Court of Justice told us so:

The rhetoric from Trump’s administration is the equivalent of an arsonist celebrating the extinguishing the fire he started. #USChina #USCHINATRADEDEAL

“The documentary, produced by independent news outlet Zeteo and titled “Who Killed Shireen?,”… [seeks] to figure out who killed Abu Akleh and how the Biden administration handled the investigation into her killing.” CNN’s Hadas Gold reports on our exclusive: www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/m...

Word of the day is ‘bugiard’ (17th century): one who distorts the truth beyond all recognition to fit their own agenda.

Following our reporting, The European Commission has released a statement on our investigation into the death of Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna: www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

The Green Party’s @zackpolanski.bsky.social has launched a surprise leadership campaign saying the party needs to be less timid and transform itself into a radical, mass-membership “eco-populism” movement that challenges Reform head-on. I agree with him. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The funny thing about the British press, with some rare exceptions, is that they pride themselves on being feral truth seekers, though most are ready to capitulate to power, money and authority, at the drop of an acquiescent hat. Privets posing as Pirates

George Orwell once wrote: "In England all the boasting & flag-wagging is done by small minorities. The patriotism of ordinary people is not vocal". So it begins…. #Reform

🧵Believe your eyes, folks. This is Labour MP Jonathan Hinder blaming “IMMIGRATION” for his Party’s woes at the ballot box. (The John he refers to is John McDonnell MP who blames unpopular Labour polices like cutting winter fuel allowance for Lab’s poor showing)

Genocide is the crime of crimes, the deepest stab in the heart of humanity. Whether it’s Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Bosnia, Sudan, other historical horrors, or… Gaza.

Labour MP Jo White (founder of the Red Wall Labour Caucus) writing in the Telegraph: “He [Sir Keir Starmer] should take a leaf out of Donald Trump’s book by following his instincts and issuing some executive orders. This is leadership from the front.” 👀

Brilliant news from @pocketcasts.com ! Generated transcripts are here! 🎉 This solves my biggest podcast listening niggle - finally easy to make notes while commuting/walking. Cheers for this! #pocetcasts #aitranscript #ainotes #ai blog.pocketcasts.com/2025/04/29/g...

Humblebrag incoming! I’ve been that told one of my favourite teachers (now retired) from the London comprehensive school I went to spoke very fondly of me & often told other students how proud she was of what I’d made of myself. It’s made me quite emotional. I’m chuffed to bits.
