This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

There you go👇🏼BBC meetings at highest level to discuss ways of promoting Farage & Reform instead of making their content as relevant & unbiased as possible.. BBC needs to be rebranded as it really is no longer the British Broadcasting Corporation It’s now The FBC - Fascist Broadcasting Corporation

50 years since Britain first chose Europe. It wasn’t inevitable, it was won – by hope, not fear. It can be again. ⤵️

Radiology delays linked to ‘unsustainable’ NHS privatisation If current trends continue, annual spending on outsourcing could exceed £400 million by 2028, enough to fund 3,389 full-time consultant radiologists leftfootforward.org/2025/06/radi...

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Can many people name the chairman of Labour, Tories, Lib Dems or Greens? How often does an unelected bureaucrat get the 8:10 interview on Radio 4? Completely disproportionate media coverage of Zia Yusuf saga

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

‘Israel has warned its military will "take whatever measures are necessary" to prevent a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid reaching Gaza.’ Why not just let them pass? They clearly don’t have much aid on the boat… surely they can’t save too many lives for Israel’s liking.

US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos 👏👏👏

There’s no doubt Israel has committed the most appalling war crimes in Gaza — and that how governments respond could haunt them for years. Long read rounding up the facts by BBC’s @jeremybowen.bsky.social

Good grief!! In plain sight????

After Ben Houchen was given £978m to spend on transport projects this week, one Teesside MP immediately asked the government to make sure the money didn't end up in the pockets of property developers.

Despite how it has been reported list of achievements from this deal is substantial, & goes further than the very Ltd ambition set out in Labour’s manifesto Govt can sell the deal as a win for Britain in three big ways Much more needs to be done but this is a welcome step @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Israel has declared the Madleen (With Greta Thunberg on) a security threat, it is jamming their electronic systems and circling them with combat drones. If it blows them up Israel will surely declare it an 'accident' but it will be their most blatant War Crime yet.

I like the idea of Canada joining the EU. What a triumph that would be.

Even wars have rules - Israel now stands accused of the gravest of war crimes ..by BBC’s Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is nuts. We shouldn’t have to be fighting needless battles like this. So annoying. Just like the coal mine farce, mad ideas like this just get in the way of sensible policy making for improving lives and dealing with climate.

Make no mistake, Trump wants to declare martial law. He’s dreamed of making this move ever since he ordered General Milley and forces to shoot protesters. He wanted to “crack skulls” and “beat the fuck out” of protesters marching against police brutality and structural racism. 1/2 …

Incontrovertible evidence is now in. Israel instructs Palestinian civilians to go to areas where it then bombs them. Israel has chosen war criminality & it pursues it relentlessly. Equally relentless must we be in the pursuit of Israel's leaders frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/updates...

We are different from Reform. We are community politicians, we get things done in our local areas. We care about the NHS and care, whereas other parties like Reform stay silent.

They were designed as kill zones, not turned into them... www.ft.com/content/8cbe...

'Exactly why a low-budget British TV series should send the right into such apoplectic rage is something of a mystery. Why has the right responded so negatively to the hit Netflix show?'

Should we follow Putin out of the ECHR? Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

Brilliant from @llinosmedi.bsky.social‬! We must end the demonisation of immigrants. Immigrant's bring vibrancy to our country, without them we would all be poorer. We must stand up to those who peddle populist immigration policies to drive class division and yet fly on private jets.

While Tory MPs chase fare dodgers around for a few quid, billions in wasteful PPE spending is being uncovered. Perhaps if Robert Jenrick wants to catch who's really robbing the country blind, he should look within.

1🧵We are grateful to @TheLancet for showing climate leadership by extending its ethical advertising ban to the banks funding the fossil fuel crisis. It is time for all medical organisations to divest their banking and investments away from climate destroying infrastructure.

Russia is at war with Britain, and the US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says. The war has been going on for at least a decade. So is it not time to ban all those who have taken Russian money or repeated Russian lies to be barred from public office. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“…as author Michael Rosen has pointed out: - Most of the world wants it to stop. - The US doesn’t want it to stop. - So it doesn’t stop.”

A new collection from Michael Rosen Can words pierce the armour of lies, bias and misinformation peddled by politicians and the media as they engineer and support war, starvation and genocide in Palestine? Michael hopes so https://www.jewishvoiceforlabour.org.uk/article/words-united/ 1/2

Great piece. “the man who constantly decries ‘the Westminster elite’ behaves like a court monarch – intolerant of dissent, surrounded by flatterers, and obsessed with control. He’s an autocrat who pretends to champion democracy as a way of hoarding personal power”

Brexit and Reform voter? metro.co.uk/2025/06/04/b...

This seems to have now disappeared from the Express website but can still be read in the archive. archive.ph/mQIec

Vladimir Putin’s plot to use a huckster criminal to erode American values and destroy U.S. credibility overseas is one of the most spectacularly successful covert operations in world history.
