Organise and Fight back

Sign of the day…

Overjoyed to share this video in which @DrHenryMarsh & I delivered this magnificent @hospiceukraine.com Defender to the amazing team at Sambir Hospice, Lviv. On rough, rural roads & in wartime conditions, a vehicle like this makes all the difference to patients at home with terminal illnesses 🙏🇺🇦💙💛

A second Russian spy ring has been uncovered in the UK.

Translation? Tell the truth about Trump and his endless failures and you’re fired.

If you're British, you'll recognise this as very similar to the concept of freeports - regulated very lightly or not at all, with all the rules made by money.

Is there not a single journalist in the White House with the courage to step up and point out Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator?

This from last year on Bylines Scotland and still very relevant today... #Turnberry #Trumped #Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A High Court trial of 3 Bulgarians, accused of spying for Russia, heard of a guest house in Great Yarmouth with a vast hoard of sophisticated electronic surveillance equipment & fake ID. More in @eastangliabylines.co.uk in the next few days. @pecksniffsdiary.bsky.social

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

Hey White House press pool -- what up?

She stuffed him in a locker with this.

All national teams should start threatening a boycott of World Cup USA 2026.

I never thought it would be Rolling Stone Magazine that comes out on MSM top for simply printing political facts as they are.

"If you do, you are DEAD!" Trump is now openly making death threats against civilians in Gaza. This is not just reckless—it is yet another example of genocidal rhetoric from the US President. World leaders should be pushing for peace, not cheering on slaughter.

Hey @JDVance, and @elonmusk, and @realDonaldTrump it looks like the Auschwitz Memorial wants to educate you. STOP LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Think what you like of me, but Dominic Grieve is a damn decent cove. There… said it.

This seems to formalise a rarely discussed social element to political coverage: the inequality of arms between left and right on money/professional opportunity.

Charlotte’s work is so wonderful :)

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment. Happy World Book Day.

Fears over the future of Boots as private equity (PE) makes £8bn takeover bid of owner Walgreens. PE has no loyalty to people, place or product. It devours by cutting staffing/wages, investment; extracts money and dodges taxes. Boots has real estate, state guaranteed prescriptions income.

While we are on the subject of Elon Musk…

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

His lies never stop.

Addressing US residents, Trudeau said, "We don't want this, but your government has chosen to do this to you."

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister. Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

East Anglia Bylines have lined up a few articles in a 🧵 to read on World Wildlife Day. The first is a fascinating article on what happens when you let a piece of land 'naturally rewild' over half a century, while scientists monitor the progress.
