The BBC's idea of balance is the panic morning sofa arrival of Morgan to announce 'woke is over' the day after having Polanski on to some great acclaim. 🤔

1. I was so grateful to Alex Cooper for having Dr. Jane Goodall on Call Her Daddy earlier this year which brought Dr. Goodall’s life’s work and example to millions of young women who might have heard of her, or recognized her, but may not have known of the depth of her contribution.

When the Greens are your enemy, you've f'ed up. Guess what, people want a progressive, green, inclusive country.

Not a party that thinks we're an "island of strangers", racism is a "valid concern", trans kids are too dangerous to exist, and the north sea should be drill, baby, drill.
Our event ‘Turning the rising Green tide’ in partnership with Hold Fast Labour is starting now in Meeting Room 11a ACC!

What is the endgame in this toxic immigration debate: is it friends and neighbours thrown out of the country? | Jonthan Liew
The notion of remigration was abstract, but the right is dragging it towards respectability. If the goal is homogeneous whiteness, they should say it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Liew
