‘In all, more than 500 people linked to the CHP have been arrested since last October. Prosecutors accuse the mayor and his associates of taking bribes, rigging tenders, extortion, and having links to terrorism.’

Are you worried about equality and diversity in media and journalism? With mainstream press facing an uncertain future, perhaps it’s time for us to shape it. Come and hear our brilliant panel's thoughts on turning the pyramid on its head and giving us all a voice www.tickettailor.com/events/bylin...

Statement by David Lammy to the HoC on the situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, 20th May “We must call this what it is. It is extremism. It is dangerous. It is repellent. It is monstrous. And I condemn it in the strongest possible terms.” They are gaslighting us…

‘Until our new century, the United States of America never had a gulag… But since the turn of the century, we have seen two attempts to create American gulags.’

President Trump, "Don't forget, we help Israel a lot" "We give Israel $4 billion a year, that's a lot" "Congratulations by the way, that's pretty good" "But we give Israel billions a year" "We take good care of our friends"

By arresting and detaining Ekrem İmamoğlu, the AKP have crossed their Rubicon. Anyone who tells you they know what happens next is guessing. There are likelihoods but we’re in uncharted waters now. The last shred of democratic hope is on the line.

While the focus is on the İmamoğlu case, Istanbul court rules to dismiss the president and the board of the Istanbul bar association. The regime is taking over everything

The Istanbul Stock Exchange has plummeted nearly 17% since İmamoğlu’s arrest. Two years of efforts to salvage the economy gone just like that.

The game is rigged

Thank you for excellent analysis as always @canokar.bsky.social 🙏🏼

Turkish authorities have detained the mayor of Istanbul, just days before he was due to be selected as a presidential candidate. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"“We warmly welcome Mr. Ocalan's message and his call for disarmament and dissolution of the PKK. We request that the PKK commits to and obeys this message and implements it,” President Barzani said on X. www.rudaw.net/english/midd...

This is huge and if it happens would “redefine the course of Turkish politics” and would also “redefine Turkiye’s relationship with the region’s Kurds in the main neighbouring states” - @aljazeera.com #Turkey www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/2/...

The US and Europe are no longer allies. Following Vance’s disastrous speech pulling the plug on US-Europe shared values and respect, there is no-one senior in the Musk-Trump govt to serve as a friendly & trusted link with Europe. Here’s my TikTok video just out on it —> vm.tiktok.com/ZNd1kXqqj/

51% of British people identify themselves as European... ...and 44% do not identify as Europeans according to a survey in 2024. It will be interesting to see how the Trump-Musk-Vance attack on European values makes the UK react. There's now a clear choice of values - and values drive identity.

“Amnesty International said the UK government’s disregard for its legal obligations to prevent genocide had contributed to Israel’s impunity and risked British complicity in serious crimes against international law.” www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

From Aberdeen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to Gaza 🇵🇸#FreePalestine

Accusations of violence orchestrated by Starmer is an insult 🇵🇸🩸

‘The occupation continues, and so the resistance will continue’ 💔🍉🇵🇸

According to TRT News its now 13 people - Cease fire NOW 🇵🇸

‘The Trump administration’s stance—whether it aligns with Israel or Turkey—will play a decisive role in shaping Syria’s future. Without strategic recalibration, Ankara risks overextending itself in a complex and unpredictable geopolitical landscape.’

Sky reports the names of the hostages now been received by Israel from Hamas, giving hope the exchange will go ahead and a ceasefire will begin today.- Ceasrfire NOW! 🇵🇸

Never forget 🇵🇸

I hope so too 🙏🏼💔🇵🇸

Why is the UK Foreign Secretary paying secret visits to a war crimes state? This won’t be on Breakfast News in the morning. This Government is so corrupt

‘His warning is the latest aimed at the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and to the United States, which backed the SDF’s offensive against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).’

@writesbright.bsky.social called it in November. "Musk may soon realise that Farage (for all his intensely awful views) does not share his particular brand of deranged demagoguery, and could try to promote Robinson as a potential alternative."

Absolute poetry

‘During his party’s group meeting in parliament, Bahçeli proposed allowing Öcalan to apply for the “right to hope” and speak at the Peoples’ Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party) group meeting on the condition that he disband his organization.’

NEW: The BBC issued more corrections for its coverage of Israel and Palestine than any other topic in 2024, analysis of the broadcaster’s data has found www.thenational.scot/news/2483234...

Nigel Farage ‘very pleased’ Elon Musk backs Reform UK, calling him a ‘hero’. The man who promoted Brexit and hatred of foreigners to inflict enormous damage to UK economy now welcomes money from a foreigner to advance his prejudices. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Despite the UKs crumbling economy this rarely gets a mention. The evidence is clear #Brexit has been extremely damaging, yet its perpetrators seem to get a disproportionate amount of airtime.

Along with other msn, the BBC has manufactured consent for the genocide in Gaza - they are complicit, shame on them

A first look at tomorrow's front page of The National 📰 BBC is disastrously failing with its Gaza reporting

Nice feature about #Bluesky on C4 News 🦋

The Real BBC ‘Impartiality Crisis’ Is Its Constant Platforming of Hard Right Tufton Street Think Tanks bylinetimes.com/2024/12/21/b...

Every single morning, Starmer wakes up and ‘chooses’ to reject his moral compass AND ignore the will of the people Instead he ‘chooses’ complicity in war crimes against civilians, hospitals, doctors, aid workers, journalists.. Stop silencing the majority : Stop arming Israel : Stop the genocide 🇵🇸

‘The United States has about 2,000 US troops in Syria that have been working with the SDF to fight ISIS militants and prevent a resurgence of the group’

‘Within a few years, 250 company clerks backed by the military force of 20,000 locally recruited Indian soldiers had become the effective rulers of Bengal. An international corporation was transforming itself into an aggressive colonial power.’

A significant day for Turkish politics. Turkish government allowed members of parliament from the pro-Kurdish party to visit the PKK’s imprisoned leader Ocalan. MPs are seeing him today. Ocalan’s message to the party and Kurds holds importance for what comes next in Turkish politics and ++
