We're here at the Royal Courts of Justice. Both the court and the overflow are full. If ever a secretive trial was more deserving of the 'Streisand effect', it's this one.

✊Our members at the BMA are back out on the picket line and they won’t back down. They’re striking for a better pay deal for themselves and their colleagues. It’s time for BMA management to listen & put an improved offer on the table. Enough is enough. No more pay erosion. #FairPayattheBMA

I’m on strike again today alongside my colleagues for #FairPayAtTheBMA ✊ An important reminder of why we don’t cross picket lines 👇 @gmblondonregion.bsky.social

Ah yes, the Red Planet. Famously orange.

Long thread: I've done interviews on Labour's latest anti-asylum policy today, but, unfortunately, had to turn down some for this evening. So, in addition to the clip from earlier, let me just set out why and how this latest Labour piece of cruelty won't work, but will cause far more harm. 1/38

"A vaccine during pregnancy which protects new-borns against nasty chest infections is cutting hospital admissions of babies by more than 80%, UK health officials say." Vaccines are miraculous. #VaccinesWork 💉 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Antifascists like me kept saying, for a year and change, that Avon & Somerset Police's political decisions and use of force to enable Bristol Patriots would end up with someone dead. Well, the cops got what they wanted.

Even if you think you can separate the art from the artist, she disagrees and you're funding the erasure of my rights, even if you support my rights, any time you buy anything Harry Potter

It is clear that many cis people are not aware just how up to her neck Rowling is in funding and driving anti trans sentiment in the UK. She's not just a person with a vile opinion.

Hard agree. The fact that Phillipson *laughed* when asked in an interview about the student loan crisis but has acted to force universities to platform transphobes/fascists without debate, suggests Labour has a particular agenda, one that shows no interest in the real problems of most students.

“Starmer assumed Gray had a super-secret plan for governing but she didn’t so they did nothing” is such a wild line, and the hacks seem so uninterested in learning more about this astonishing, farcical setup

Constantly reminded of this Ted Chiang passage on capitalism, technology and progress from the New Yorker whenever I see the tech “elite” snowflaking about criticism.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

This a great opportunity to make impact for a talented big tech campaigner. If you know someone it could fit, please share. Thanks! 👇

I've been leaked a letter from the Telegraph's new owners. It's now mandatory for the Telegraph's journalists to support Israel. And their new owner's record is deeply disturbing 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/at-the-tel...

The real scandal of the asylum system is the cruelty & incompetence which 1000s of people endure every day but which rarely gets spotlighted at the top of the BBC News site. Dan here nails much of what makes me uncomfortable about the BBC’s “fake gay refugees” story but here’s a few more points 1/

The reason people are so passionate about their football teams is because - without the tribalism - football is a boring sport. 🥊🥊

So much to love, but I think this quote is important Tech bosses have no interests other than concentrating political power and wealth in their own hands Labour and Tories have been negligent to beg them to put their tools at the heart of government

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

My highlights from Takedown Festival were Monochrome, Devere, and INME. Managed to listen to two (maybe one and a half) songs from PRESIDENT before making a baffled exit. #MetalSky

Today the two-child limit is gone. Parents have told us what this will mean for their kids: - A first-ever birthday party for a 10-year-old - Better quality food - Clothes that aren't completely worn out - Going on the school trip without getting into debt - A new mattress - Swimming lessons

I'm a few years late, but this album is some lovely post-black metal. Shame that they don't seem to have released anything since! #MetalSky youtube.com/playlist?lis...

There's two things about this piece - the first, obviously, is that is obviously discriminatory and whoever came up with the idea of spying on young disabled people and taking their independence away based on "infractions" should be ashamed www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"In reality, he was already prime minister" would haunt me for the rest of my waking life. It would actually be better if AI had written it than to admit I made this mistake.

The Prime Minister's threats of removing training places are bad for doctors and bad patients. These threats are not a credible way to end this dispute. We're in talks with government today to reach a deal that doctors can support, and that's good for patients, to avoid strikes.

If Labour were serious about fixing the NHS then instead of manipulating waiting lists by knocking people off before their treatment is complete and rationing who gets referred they would be focused relentlessly on increasing NHS capacity through training staff not using it as a bargaining chip

Strikes me as an absurd threat, either we need the 4000 new training places or we don’t

I've responded to the student loans enquiry and I encourage you to do the same - particularly if you're part of the unlucky Plan 2 cohort like myself 👇 www.rethinkrepayment.com/step-by-step...

Sending strength and solidarity to everyone attending the Together Alliance march today ✊ @togetheralliance.bsky.social #Together

I’m on strike today for #FairPayAtTheBMA 🧡 Solidarity with my @gmblondonregion.bsky.social colleagues on the picket line in London ✊

Since 2012, BMA staff have seen their pay eroded by nearly 17%. Today they’re on the picket line, and 96% of them voted to be there, on an 80% turnout. This isn’t a protest. It’s a mandate. Read below👇 www.lbc.co.uk/article/bma-...

yeah im bummed about sora. bummed i sora bunch of stupid fake videos

I've written to my MP, urging him to support @mp4stratford.bsky.social's amendment to expand voting rights to all UK residents. via @theactionnetwork.bsky.social 👇 www.migrantdemos.org.uk/2026-electio...

So, UK ICE officers broke into an Indian restaurant with stun guns and demanded to see people’s passports? 🤔 Racism is alive and well in the UK - government sponsored!

BMA staff have spoken loud and clear: enough is enough. With a 96% vote for strike action on an 80% turnout, GMB members are standing up for fair pay after years of erosion.

My eyesight is not good enough for them to be wearing essentially the same colour 😵‍💫 #6Nations #FRAvENG

📍 Last week GMB members working at the BMA protested outside BMA House demanding fair pay for staff. After years of real-terms pay cuts, members are now balloting on strike action. 📮 Post your ballot now 🗳️ Ballot closes at 12pm on Monday 16 March #FairPayAtTheBMA #GMBLondon #MembersFirst

Hi! Immigration lawyer here! Mahmood's view of the Refugee Convention as providing temporary protection just isn’t correct & AFAIK isn’t one anyone has ever adopted. On the contrary, the Convention is clearly predicated on a long-term need for protection. 1/🧵
