Yesterday, the freed Israeli hostage Noa Argamani & former Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy spoke at the UN; she invited by Israel, he by Palestine. Daniel Levy's refusal to selectively mourn 🇮🇱🇵🇸’s child victims ⬇️ was bang-on. But it’s been vanishingly rare. 🧵

INEOS' financial outlook has been downgraded to 'negative' as debts pile up. It's backing out of sponsorships and sacking employees in a desperate bid to cut costs. The saga underlines the risks sports organisations take in partnering with polluters that lack a future-proof business model -🧵

Golf clap to all the UK newspapers who have been supportive of banning trans athletes to "protect the integrity of sport", which of course provided plenty of talking points and assistance to Trump's hatred of trans people. Including especially, erm, The Guardian. Well done. Well. done.

"The whole house will be shocked to learn the worrying news that Laila Soueif was admitted to St Thomas Hospital last night. Can the Foreign Secretary update us on whether the PM has now spoken to the Egyptian president to secure the release of Alaa?" Thank you @calummillerld.bsky.social

Why use this moment of crisis as an opportunity to implement progressive taxation when you can cosy up to Trump and Reform voters by shitting all over poor foreign people instead? Bad politics from bad politicians.

This truly remarkable woman hasn't eaten for 149 days in protest at the Egyptian authorities' refusal to release her son (a British national) from prison, where he is being detained illegally. UK government needs to up the ante.

There is an alternative world in which football clubs are owned and controlled by their members. It's called Norway, Sweden, and Germany and people like Jim Ratcliffe wouldn't be allowed anywhere near their football clubs.

This weird energy of “you have no idea how it is”. I’m black with a Muslim first name and I spend time in small German towns with large far-right vote shares. I know how it is. I honestly wish I didn’t. And what happened yesterday was better than I had feared. Truly.

Exploited migrant farm workers in UK paid for picks, not hours. Workers not paid for in-work travel, time spent moving between workstations, team meetings, receiving instructions on equipment use. Employers violating employment rights. Need effective enforcement, not deregulation.

Maybe you should talk to some artists, Lisa? They'll tell you about the impact of government funding. Honestly this government are plumbing new depths. To talk about "virtue signaling" in what's a pathetic attempt to signal you're "anti-woke" or some such nonsense is hypocritical and dense.
