One man is standing up for the rule of law in Britain. His reward is to be savagely attacked by right wing think tanks, newspapers & politicians. They understand where the battle against populism is taking place. And they've marshalled their forces accordingly. iandunt.substack.com/p/a-good-man...

Israeli soldiers murdered these medical workers, buried them in a mass grave, libelled them as terrorists and then lied about it. One of the ambulance crews' last words were: "I only chose this path because I wanted to help people." www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Israel’s murderous, genocidal killing of medics, belatedly now under some scrutiny. Too little, too late! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

As a subscriber to Private Eye @privateeyenews.bsky.social because of it's integrity I would like to be sure you aren't censoring Wild Justice. Will their adverts be in future editions?

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

Kemi Badenoch accepted a £14,000 week-long "residential" for her family and shadow cabinet, courtesy of the chair of climate change denying lobbying group Net Zero Watch. Weeks later she announced that she has ditched her party's commitment to reaching Net Zero bylinetimes.com/2025/03/18/k...

After a tip-off from a wild camper, we went to investigate a recent moorland burning incident on Dartmoor this weekend. It's in an SSSI & SAC, on peat over 40cm deep, & on land belonging to... Alexander Darwall. So did @naturalengland.bsky.social, DEFRA and Darwall give permission for this burn?

Shocking news from the occupied West Bank: Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary ‘No Other Land’, Hamdan Ballal, has been arrested by the Israeli army after masked settlers attacked his house, according to the Center for Jewish Nonviolence.

The most fragile, sensitive snowflake in history.

Excellent summing up. I live in rural Devon and currently the roads are strewn with carcasses from birds that escaped the shooting season but get mown down by passing cars.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

Hi @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social what part of the carefully-crafted proposals for a 2% wealth tax by @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, @patrioticmillionaires.org & @taxjusticeuk.bsky.social do you consider to be “magical unicorn”? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Brick Lane, east London, seen yesterday.

Thank you @patmillsuk.bsky.social 👏

Ahead of the May local elections & Runcorn by-election, we need to remind anyone considering voting Reform: A vote for Farage is a vote for Trump. A vote for Farage is a vote for Musk. Vote Farage... If you want to kiss Trump's arse. Feel free to 'flood the zone' with these images.

"The Basma IVF clinic was the largest fertility clinic in Gaza.. we were able to conclude on reasonable grounds that it was an intentional attack [by Israel] on a healthcare facility that was providing reproductive services" Chris Sidoti from the UN Commission of Inquiry

"we heard evidence where men and boys were forced to strip... often having to sit on stones on the ground in the cold in winter for up to 3 days. Now this is physical abuse but its also psychological abuse, designed to humiliate" Chris Sidoti from the UN Commission of Inquiry

British professor Donald Rayfield has refused to accept an award from GD, stating that he would not accept recognition from an illegitimate government. The ceremony was set to take place in the UK, where Rayfield was to be honored for his contributions to the Georgian literature, and history.

Back in 2016, I wrote this post about the legal lunacy of the “Send Them All Back Bill” proposed by some fringe backbench nutters. Yesterday this was confirmed as official Opposition policy. thesecretbarrister.com/2016/03/11/h...

Dear BBC the USA is not ‘stepping up pressure on Ukraine to agree a peace deal’. It is taking Russia’s side in the war.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

Today we are having a fundraising day in the village to raise money for Alexander Armstrong. This popular & much loved millionaire TV presenter has gone from ‘Pointless’ to Poundless. See what I did there? This man truly is a modern day Zelensky. A sort of poor Michael Fabricant.😔

Donald Trump is lying to you.

Catherine and her cat from Zaporizhzhia. She spent 5 hours under the rubble of her house, destroyed by a Russian missile. All this time she has been hugging her cat. P.S. Sorry she didn't wear a suit.
