What a load of hyperbolic nonsense. What nurse "demands a woman have a smear"

On Main Justice: the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Trump’s defiance of SCOTUS, new habeas rulings, and attacks on AP & Harvard. Also on The Contrarian with @jenrubin.bsky.social: the defying of court orders. #RuleOfLaw #Immigration #SCOTUS #CivilRights #MainJustice

The journalists who chose to stay silent over Gaza must be held to account. My conversation with the ever brilliant @mehdirhasan.bsky.social 👇 zeteo.com/p/the-journa...

Speaking truth to the BBC about its role in promoting Farage and far right politics, fact-checking claims about immigration and holding them to account for not getting it right./1 #TruthToPower @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @Docrussjackson.bsky.social yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

Israel has dropped bombs on a tented area in Gaza where thousands of displaced Palestinians were taking shelter. This indiscriminate assault on civilians is a daily occurrence in Gaza — and has been enabled by the US and British governments.

Four years on an iPhone in bed later, Who Wants Normal? is finally out in the world today. Part memoir, part guide, it features 50+ of Britain’s best known disabled women. I hope it makes you laugh, possibly cry, and feel seen. Order all formats here: linktr.ee/WhoWantsNormal

Gideon Saar — and all Israeli officials complicit in the genocide of Palestinians — you are not welcome in the UK.

#R4Today Nick Robinson on Birmingham's 'rats as big as cats' completely refuted by tour guide + runners group. Tried desperately to trip up the union guy + had the brass neck to say essentially that Birmingham's bust + workers should accept it Response - 💪cllrs gave themselves 5% ⬆️

NEW: European Commission issues staff with burner phones & basic laptops for US trips, to avoid espionage. [FT] How far the US has fallen under Trump. The EU adopting a measure normally reserved for China. The US is now a security risk to its (former) allies.

Meet some Reform UK Party Candidates in the local elections coming up on the 1st of May… An assortment of weirdos who think that Jimmy Savile was a hero, that criminal right winger Tommy Robinson should be honoured with a statue in every town and so on... www.markpack.org.uk/174527/meet-...

Honestly, UK, do it or fuck off. The world’s in flames, and you’re pissing about over the name of the most basic and uncontroversial form of cooperation imaginable. If you can’t even manage this, go away and come back when you’ve grown the fuck up. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Not sure what the worst part of this article is. The drive by against Jess? The failure to mention the Jay inquiry & truth project? The suggestion that we are more comfortable being unflattering to white people? www.thetimes.com/article/f383...

'An Israeli air strike has destroyed part of the last functioning hospital in Gaza City, the territory's Hamas-run health ministry has said. Witnesses said the strike destroyed the intensive care and surgery departments of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.'

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Kevin Badenoch approves of this.

Owen Jones will attest to this.

Israel has ordered fresh evacuations in parts of Gaza ahead of new military operations. UNWRA says nearly 400,000 people have been displaced since the ceasefire ended. Gaza’s death toll has now risen to 50,912.  More on #VMNews.

I'm old enough to remember Michael Gove turning up at work to vote completely off his face. For that he didn't get fired, but he did get a peerage.

'Professor Gina Neff of Queen Mary University London told the BBC ChatGPT is "burning through energy" and the data centres used to power it consume more electricity in a year than 117 countries.'

Khalil was standing up for Palestinian’s, not Hamas. But apparently that’s worthy of kidnapping, detention and deportation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Times has become a cartoon version of itself. It used to be a serious newspaper. Here reporting Johnson is sold out and charges more than Nicola Strurgeon when there are still hundreds of seats remaining. A blatant lie for what purpose? www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Bottom line: Trump a week ago, Trump told America that the full tariff package was a “liberation”. Today, he largely, though not completely, reversed course. Therefore, by his own logic America is less liberated than it was. The weakest day of his presidency so far.

Our media is completely broken. Really looking forward to hearing from these amazing speakers, taking part in the workshops and giving the closing speech. We badly need to reform our media. Get involved. 👇🏼
