I wrote this piece about 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. On the costs of speaking the truth in today's world. And how Jamal's memory still stalks Saudi Arabia--- and the Washington Post. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Here’s the other thing. I work for a big nhs trust (30k employees). Met some wonderful souls who have been here for several years at band 4 - working ridiculous hours and generally being amazing. Being deported in 2 weeks. 700 of them at risk. 7 fucking hundred Fuck off

Must stop calling people twats. It’s not ladylike and I’m a lady x

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Lt. General tells his troops about the why they are going to the War Torn City of Portland OR. OPEN THE EPSTEIN FILES.

My cure for the state of the world is to buy a dog, secure matching furniture, and then occasionally go and look at him during the working day to remind yourself that everything might be OK.

Will be interesting to see which groups are sponsoring events at this week's Conservative conference. Unfortunately I won't be able to tell you about it because her press team have banned me from covering it! bylinetimes.com/2025/09/04/k...

I'm a Marine, I have a couple of guns in my home just because we created a violent Country. You don't need them anywhere else in the World except in a few Banana-Republic's. I would throw them in a Lake anyday to stop them from killing our kids. There is no such thing as a responible Gun owner.

A peerage can only be removed by an act of parliament. The last time that happened was in 1917. Our House of Lords is completely unfit for purpose, and the likes of "Lady Mone" can keep her position for life without consequences.

BREAKING: Reports of spontaneous protests erupting in European cities tonight in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was illegally attacked by Israel an hour ago. Demonstrations have been seen in Berlin🇩🇪 & Rome🇮🇹 - and these are the current scenes in Brussels🇧🇪 👇

This is a shock, Jane Goodall (1934-2025) has died. One of my dad’s cousins knew her & would regularly give me updates on her adventures & chimps. She was a great force for good & part of my childhood. 91 is a good age, but it’s personal when your heroes die. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Oktoberfest in Munich has been temporarily shut down after explosives were found in a nearby building.

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!

This is great. It naturally follows that Musk can only get out of our politics if politicians and political journalists stop using the social media site he controls.

Barrowman's view of the verdict is bonkers... "an attempt to divert attention away from the government and its monumental overspend on PPE". A 'monumental overspend' that included clowns like him milking a 50% profit on PPE while other, decent, folk were literally making the stuff for free

Ed Miliband turns on Elon Musk. “He incites violence on our steeets. He calls for the overthrow of our government. He disseminates disinformation. He thinks he can tell us how to run Britain. We have a message for Elon Musk: ‘Get the hell out of our politics and our country!’”
