Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

England is not a modern country. The graphic below by @guyshrubsole.bsky.social in today's Observer underlines this fact.

Remember, everything Netanyahu does is to keep himself out of prison. For the sake of one crook's liberty, tens of thousands of people have been murdered, and now a possible full-scale war has been provoked. Israel must rise up and unseat him.

For every £1 the government spends investigating the tax affairs of the super rich, they've recovered £14 in taxes they were owed. It's time to invest in holding the wealthy to account, and end the super rich's robbery. taxjustice.eaction.org.uk/tackletaxavo...

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world. They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

My message to British journalists who are complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza: You will pay for what you did. I was honoured to receive the People's Choice Award at the @amnestyuk.bsky.social #AmnestyMediaAwards 2025. It is dedicated to the people of Palestine.

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.

“Brexit means we can make our own agreements with the EU, as we pick and choose!” - UK chooses to make agreement with EU on a handful of issues. “Brexit Betrayed!”

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

I still think represents the most shocking void in the UK’s COVID response - when the largest biomedical facility offered to undertake testing (many universities did the same) the government didn’t even answer. The cost would have been minimal. But no profit for private companies… is that it?

Kids are locked out of home ownership, burdened with tuition fees, suffer massive poverty, are threatened by the climate crisis and AI, had their live chances whacked by Brexit, have no healthcare support, and are constantly monstered by the press. They don't need "grit"; they need fairness.

Good story on tech minister's overly close relationship to tech industry. Good to see it on front page. Now tell, the Guardian it's also too close to big tech & needs to kick the Google guy off its board. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Very ashamed today of Starmer/Labour's comments about 'island of strangers' and 'incalculable damage'. It's the job of the government to leave the country in a better place than they found it, not to appeal to the base instincts of a nation in order simply to carry on governing.

Amidst much darkness in the news, the warmth that European nations have shown each other and Ukraine has been a true bright spot. There seems to be real rapport between the leaders. NYT reporting that Macron & Zelensky in particular have become close friends. Some scenes from today.

"The threat of Trump returning to office to complete his autocratic agenda is severe. But that he is able to do it–that the US is the only country in history to allow a coup to go unpunished and a seditionist to run for president again–is due to Garland, the DOJ, and their accomplices in Congress."
