The FPA is dismayed by Sir Keir Starmer's press accreditation policy for the EU-UK Summit of Monday 19th May. The vast majority of EU news outlets have been denied access. We have written to @10DowningStreet to urge him to reconsider.

Wenn ich dieses Foto von Doron Steinbrecher sehe, umringt von grölenden, schwer bewaffneten Hamas-Männern, überkommt mich wieder ganz stark das Gefühl der Entfremdung mit Teilen der internationalen feministischen Bewegung, deren Schweigen nach dem 7. Oktober ohrenbetäubend war.

At the end of the day, Brexit revealed to the world two things: first, most UK politicians - from both sides of the divide - fundamentally did not understand how the EU works. Secondly, they had no intention of filling that gap in knowledge.
That's why we're still stuck in this infinite loop.

How many Syrian women will have life stories like this? Horrific #Syria
A woman from Sednaya Prison, one of Syria's worst prisons, said:
"I was a 19-year-old single girl when I was thrown into Sednaya Prison. When I got out, I was 32, with children whose fathers I do not know."
