If you voted Labour in the last general election, email the secretary of your local Labour Party Tell them what you think - and whether you'll ever vote for them again. Let them understand the scale of the betrayal.

Peter Hesgeth, US defense sec, and Mike Waltz, nat security adviser, included The Atlantic's editor in chief @JeffreyGoldberg in a Signal group about plans to bomb Yemen (!!!). Besides the stupidly, & hoo-rah tone, here's what they think of European allies. Story: www.instagram.com/p/DHmhIzaB6dz

AMAZING NEWS 🚨 Napier Barracks to close - "The news is buried in a Home Office document uploaded to parliament’s cross-party home affairs committee", according to @diane-writer10.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio. I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’. 😡

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

The Home Office decided RAF Scampton was a waste of money. So it wasted more money protecting it.

DOGE is going well, then. "US government spending rose to a record $603 billion," according to @tortoisemedia.bsky.social

2 weeks ago I paid £5 to subscribe to "How to Survive the Broligarchy" by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and I've only received one article. Other news outlets' daily newsletters are free. Should I expect more? With "Over 62,000 subscribers", that's min £310,000 a year...! Come on Carole... be fair

This is already proving staggering and I'm only on Chapter 1

On @BBCr4today just now, Matt Schlapp (chair of the American Conservative Union) said Zelenskyy should be "kicked out on his camo-clad butt". He also told Nick Robinson that he should learn history.

We have to get serious That means organising our resistance to the politics of appeasement. JOIN US on Thursday 💪💪💪

How extraordinary, RIP James Harrison. Via @tortoisemedia.bsky.social "He extended his arm to help mothers and babies he would never know a remarkable 1,173 times, and expected nothing in return.”

Revolting third-sector employer practice: Offering a job to a refugee & saying in the email, "Congrats & we look forward to working with you" - BEFORE the person has even responded or accepted. How patronising: 'We know you have no options so we're making this assumption and hey, we call the shots"

Who knows if it's true - but which of us would be surprised in the least

Under the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, Ukraine returned nuclear missiles - placed there by Russia - in exchange for security assurances that Russia would neither attack nor to threaten to attack Ukraine.  That went well, then. You can trust Russia 100.

Is there no end to Israel's aggression, hubris and imperialism? They are currently in the process of occupying southern Syria. Whose are these "military forces and assets"? They didn't seem bothered when Syria was jammed full of Russian stuff. It's an outrage.

Israel appears to have occupied villages around Daraa in Southern Syria, and it looks like southern Damascus as well. Boots on the ground, occupation force. A former (defected) member of Syrian special forces is sobbing to a family member down the phone.

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 A senior US government official has called for “lower quality humans” to be sterilised en masse yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/world/t...

Gaza ceasefire deal at a standstill, negotiating phase 2 is already 3 weeks late. BN is a prince. "As for Trump, he has said he is fine with whatever decision Netanyahu makes, whether to continue with the deal or return to war." All from @tortoisemedia.bsky.social

In Germany - what do hospital teams look like when you take out the migrants?

Netanyahu says he wants no HTS/Syrian army troops south of Damascus (what right has he??) Funny how he didn't suggest this when Syria was full of Russians. It's an excuse for a land grab... apparently Israel has seized some villages in Daraa. www.instagram.com/reel/DGbsO16...

The max capacity of the #Wethersfield asylum-seeker containment site will increase from 580 to 800. The housing ministry (MHCLG) has now satisfied all conditions of the special development order (SDO). Numbers will increase from this month.

🚨 Anyone else seeing ILTR applications *also* being paused while the safety of Syria is being reviewed? ie NOT just asylum-seekers! Even people flown here 5 years ago by the government, under resettlement schemes - as has happened with this Syrian family @freemovement.bsky.social

Seemed like the right time to read this.

Well, the King of Jordan has certainly not given an emphatic "no" to Trump re Gaza!! www.instagram.com/reel/DF8agks...
