You saw the headline - but will you see the correction? When false headlines like this one from The Telegraph get printed on national front pages, the damage is done. A tiny printed correction won’t change that. To hold the media truly accountable, corrections should be as big as headlines.

68% of those arrested at the Farage Riots last summer had previously been reported for domestic abuse. You know, the ones claiming their violence was a response to concerns about the safety of British women and girls.

Almost as if its a cynical ploy to obtain the legal precedents necessary to expel trans people from public life perpetrated by the same people who overturned Roe v. Wade

We’re pleased to see more women speaking out in support of the trans community. 🙏🏻 Thank you @mathildamall.bsky.social and @helenawadia.bsky.social for writing about this in @bylinetimes.bsky.social and for mentioning our letter: change.org/NION_women bylinetimes.com/2025/07/07/s...

This headline FUCKS

Thank you to @mathildamall.bsky.social and @helenawadia.bsky.social for this article. Bylines seems to be one of the few outlets noticing how stupid the whole "clarity" thing has turned out to be

it honestly feels like there’s a section of the media which just wants an endless Westminster soap opera, while salivating over Farage’s every word without ever holding him to the same standard as others, rather than anyone fixing anything ever

What I know, what Katy knows, just as you know: most cis women support trans women. But hearing your beautiful embrace of the community gives such hope, at a time when all we hear elsewhere is hate; this is why I had to say thank you for the pod. It lifted me up. 💕💕💕

They choose their words wisely - this 'question' is indeed one that only concerns media and politicians. I don't believe anyone has ever asked it in good faith

I’ve only just discovered your pod. OMG, Helena and Matilda, how you go about this topic, what a breath of fresh air!! Thank you! 🏳️‍⚧️ You’re amazing! The one problem, I now have to work my way through your back catalogue.

Huge thank you to @katymontgomerie.com for giving a shoutout to our letter - “Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community” - on the latest @mediastormpod.bsky.social podcast with @mathildamall.bsky.social & @helenawadia.bsky.social 🩷 Please sign our letter here ✍🏼 change.org/NION_Women

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 ‘What is a woman?’ The question that has plagued British media and distracted politians for years. This episode, we ask: why? 🗣️ With @katymontgomerie.com 🎙️ Hosts @helenawadia.bsky.social & @mathildamall.bsky.social

This week on News Watch: did you know 👉 Johnny Depp is a ‘victim of Me Too’? 👉 Iran might have a ‘nuclear bomb within a month’? 👉 Palestine Action are ‘terrorists’? 👀 We pick apart all these unhinged headlines and tired old narratives on this week’s Media Storm episode ⬇️

I cannot recommend the Media Storm podcast more highly. @mathildamall.bsky.social & @helenawadia.bsky.social are the perfect antidote to many of the deficiencies of UK 'journalism'

Want to get your head around the headlines? Delve deeper with Media Storm’s News Watch: ➡️ LA protests: the press are being illegally targeted, but headlines aren’t reflecting this ➡️ Freedom Flotilla: where did the ‘selfie-yacht’ narrative start? ➡️ All sides of assisted dying

This proposal by the BBC is explicitly anti-democratic. As @natashadevon.bsky.social and others have pointed out, more women are moving to the Green party than are men going to Reform - yet the national broadcaster is falling over itself to pander to the extreme right. Why?

Why don't the Liberal Democrats (72 MPs in the UK Parliament) and/or the Greens (4 MPs) get this level of coverage by our established press? It's a good question. The media fuels the currents of the water we swim in.

🚨 NEW MEDIA STORM EPISODE 🚨 The Niger Delta is one of the 10 most important wetland ecosystems in the world - but the land is being poisoned by oil. The main culprit is UK multi-billion dollar oil company, Shell. So why are so many people in the UK ‘detached’ from this reality?

MEDIA STORM SERIES 6 IS OUT NOW! Kicking off with a News Watch: 🔴 Post-Brexit #tradedeal hypocrisy 🔴 #GérardDepardieu is guilty of sexual assault, so why is the media heroising him? 🔴 Taking apart Keir Starmer's now infamous #immigration speech Listen 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/73It...

Tomorrow, an opportunity for MPs to hear directly from trans+ legal experts. Please encourage your MP to attend, letting them know they can contact us for details [email protected]

If you had any doubts about the intended audience for today's migration announcements, the newspapers Starmer took questions from at the press conference were: Times, Sun, Mail, Express. No one else.

this is not an exaggeration

the thing is, ‘concern’ about immigration is directly proportional to how much media coverage is focused on immigration, so even assuming Labour reduce the absolute numbers by 2030, the only way that it will make voters happy is if the press decide it should

So the Scottish government will *not* bring forward planned legislation to criminalise misogyny As “there is not enough time to draw up a law which reflects the recent Supreme Court judgement on the definition of a woman.” Tell me how the Supreme Court judgement was meant to ‘protect women’ again?

Good to work with @mediastormpod.bsky.social & @nctcharity.bsky.social on their lateste expose of NHS maternity charging in which our Head of Policy Judith Dennis is interviewed mediastormpodcast.com/podcast/epis...

Trans women once again used as a political football kicked around - apparently the only issue of interest in this #r4today interview with Green Party leader Adrian Ramsey. Incredibly depressing how ill-served we are by our toxic hate-mongering media, desperate for us to keep looking at the wrong 1%

Where did we get this Labour party from? Temu??

I can't believe that some of the UK media is still trying to say "The Supreme Court ruling isn't a victory for either side" when the cis supremacists are smoking cigars and popping champagne and we are attending mass protests. It's such a brazen lie

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

The framing of the Trans Liberation protest in the media is making me laugh. “Thousands of trans activists”. Trans activists? Or just decent people? People fighting for their rights, people who know & love trans people, people who understand the Supreme Court ruling will only benefit the patriarchy?

London turned out for trans rights! It’s so wonderful to remember that WE are the majority, and the hate is coming from a (albeit loud and rich) minority. But when we join together in solidarity, we cannot be defeated 🏳️‍⚧️🩵

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Whilst the Times is fairly unbearable today, reminding its readers not to ‘underestimate’ the ‘triumph for women’ that was the Supreme Court decision this week (if such a ‘triumph’ you’d think there’d be no need to persuade women to be delighted by it), it is, somewhat predictably, the…

This is also an astonishingly weak piece of reasoning: it's the Supreme Court version of 'we can always tell.' The problems 'the duty bearer' faces here are no different from the problems the duty bearer faces when confronted with gender non-conforming cis people.

For example, the Supreme Court is saying that a trans woman gets protection as a woman if she 'passes'. Whether that's right or wrong ethically it's totally at odds with the Supreme Court's blithe assertion that its decision 'is neither disadvantageous to nor removes protections from trans people'.

I'm genuinely stunned. I spoke to KCs at three leading sets of chambers with deep specialisations in equalties law. Each of them told me that For Women Scotland's position was not even arguable.

the way i would be the smuggest little wench in the world if i got to hit send on this push alert

@npr.org you know they aren't talking about actual antisemitism and you are free to write a headline that accurately portrays this smokescreen for what it is.

It should terrify everyone that a green card holder was black bagged and disappeared to Louisiana simply for having opinions this administration dislikes. They're building the prisons and camps to do it to citizens. The time to stand up to this is now.
