To ensure that someone has a "legitimate claim" to seek asylum in the UK you need to process their claim properly, so this amounts to nothing more than soundbite politics all over again. You can't just remove someone to France without processing their claims. #r4today www.lbc.co.uk/politics/uk-...

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

I've included this info in book two but wanted to share here too. New guidance from the chief coroner. Trans people can be registered with their gender identity, grc or not, and their chosen name, even if not legally changed. www.hilldickinson.com/insights/art...

JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms. This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

Why would it be the “wrong signal”, @aussenminister.diplo.de? Because it would give starving and maimed children hope? Because it would acknowledge an ethnic group as a people? Never in my lifetime did I expect I’d see Germany backing a govt committing persecution, war crimes and ethnic cleansing.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.
