No obvious blunders? Said Israel had the right to cut off water & electricity in Gaza Declared lots of old ladies terrorists for supporting Palestine Channelled Enoch Powell calling Britain an Island of Strangers Attacked the rights of trans & disabled people Aped the far-right at every turn

The tragic death of Henry Nowak is a devastating case of institutional failure by the police. But for the far-right it's become a central piece of propaganda, weaponising a family’s grief in pursuit of a political agenda, just as they did following the Southport murders of 2024. Read more here:

This is not "legitimate grievances", this is not about "anti-white racism" or "two-tier policing", this is not about "protesting" This is fascists having been emboldened by decades of mainstreaming We can keep pretending it's not and encourage them or we can do something about it

Two-tier Britain alright, you can be a member of parliament, hold NO constituency surgeries, be absent from voting for OVER a year, take £5 million from a crypto guy, and still have a job, moreover the press is eager to propagate your racist bullshit without comment

Imagine how many arrests there would have been if they'd silently held placards about Palestine instead of lobbing bottles and wheelie bins at the police....

I'm one of the signatories to this letter. We note that NHS England's ban on hormone therapy by under-18 was proposed: ● without any clear rationale, ● on the basis of a methodologically-flawed process, ● in the absence of peer review, ● and without plans for monitoring impact or mitigating harm

“In the space of a few years, the UK has moved from a broadly inclusive status-quo to being the most aggressively anti-trans developed democracy in the world.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-end-of-t...

We've read the new Code of Practice. Here's what you need to know.

Really can’t overstate how bad the EHRC guidance is. Trans people are not allowed to use single-sex facilities that align with their gender but are also not allowed to use facilities that align with their sex if their physical appearance there might cause distress. Approach to policing this is 🤷‍♂️

Here's my first impressions FAQ on the EHRC document. Questions welcome. sandraduffy.blog/2026/05/21/f...

New Reform Councils next week:

« l’idée d’une « nouvelle » France me semble discutable. Elle semble cantonner l’idée d’une France aux visages pluriels à une réalité récente et, de ce fait, masque la rencontre ancienne de la France et des descendant·es de colonisé·es»

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

Reform want to round up migrants and detain them indefinitely in areas that don’t vote for them. Yet for most of our media, it’s those marching for Palestine who are creating hatred & fear. These disgusting plans are an affront to democracy — and must be fiercely opposed.

Le 1er mai chômé et payé est l'exemple que le droit du travail, peut fixer des limites, non négociables, à la relation d'emploi. Sa remise en cause a aussi une visée politique : montrer par le symbole le plus frappant qu'on peut remettre en cause, en général les limites inscrites ds le droit du t

#Frontex is developing two apps — #RRApp and #Recapp — for migrant “returns”. The tools could facilitate "self-deportations" and covert movement tracking, mirroring #ICE militias' enforcement technology under Donald Trump: digit.site36.net/2026/04/28/f...

«il ne faut jamais oublier la leçon de l’Italie de 1922, de l’Allemagne de 1933 ou du Chili de 1973 : sous le fascisme, il y a toujours le capital. »

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants. “And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it. Then Idaho banned new city flags. So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows! Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is so well done. 👌

'Universities cross-subsidise domestic teaching and research activity with the income gained from international student fees.' And (not least in the post-Brexit context of diminished international mobility for UK students) international students widen the horizons of UK students and staff alike.

Netanyahu is bombing Lebanon because his political career (and therefore avoidance of prosecution) depends on constant war. How many more people must die for the sake of one man's standing?

The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

Something for those British politicians who initially backed the war, or still can't quite stop writing op-eds saying we should be more involved, to dwell upon.

L’extrême droite est obligée de piller l’héritage des autres parce que le sien n’est fait que de honte.

En France, en 2026, ce n’est donc pas la négation d’un génocide qui expose à des poursuites judiciaires, mais bien sa dénonciation.

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

La députée Caroline Yadan et ses auxiliaires à carte de presse veulent donc imposer une loi interdisant la critique d´un État dont l’armée tire sur des soldats français.

Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Cela fait maintenant plusieurs jours que BFMTV a révélé que la police avait photographié sans jamais intervenir l’intégralité des affrontements à la suite desquels le militant néonazi Quentin Deranque est décédé, mais Laurent Nuñez n’a toujours pas (été) démissionné.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

Great question. The problem, of course, is that every other journalist in the room didn't keep asking it until they got an answer.

The difference between these two is racism

I have followed @attackerman.bsky.social's hard-hitting War on Terror journalism for almost 2 decades. But the tenderness of this piece of reporting on Gaza's hospitals is both beautiful and heart-breaking.

'Discrimination': Noun: "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people". This Labour government should be ashamed.
