Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.
Observers have been working day and night to protect these neighborhoods from ICE, make the streets safe so kids can go to school and people can go to their jobs. Burning down the street undoes all our work. The people setting fires haven’t been putting in long hours watching plates or doors.

Man of the people latest. All of Farage’s history shows that far from “taking on the globalists” he’s a grifter who milks unsavoury parts of the global elite for all he can get
Nigel Farage attended Davos on a pass sponsored by the family office of Iranian billionaire Sasan Ghandehari, which told the World Economic Forum that the Reform UK leader had advised the company since 2018. ft.trib.al/V138xDu

It was the same silence that was heard in the town of Wootton Bassett each time the hearses took the fallen from RAF Lyneham on their final journey home. That silence is more eloquent than any words of disrespect for the sacrifice made by men and women from many Allied nations.

As National Security Adviser, I was often at the UK’s HQ in Helmand, Camp Bastion. Too often, the tannoy would announce medevac helicopters inbound. The huge base w’d fall silent, out of respect for the young men or women who were fighting for their lives. No, they had not stayed a little back.

A more serious approach to pollution from wood burning has been long overdue. Building greater public awareness & strengthening pollution limits is a good step. It would be good to also see greater support & powers for councils to properly enforce restrictions on wood burning in smoke control areas.

Good to see Labour strengthening regulations around wood burning stoves following the recent move to bring the UK's PM2.5 pollution targets forward a decade. While there is lots more to do, it's encouraging to see a bit of a step change in narrative & policy on clean air in recent months.

For the Lords to force this to fail would be an outrage. It's clear that, for some, no version of the bill would be acceptable. That and the manner of amendments and delay shows that it is not merely extra scrutiny, it is deliberately undermining the Commons decision.
EXC - MPs and peers who backed the assisted dying bill now believe it is “near impossible” for it to pass the House of Lords in time because of procedural obstacles used by opponents.
“It is our system at its absolute most dysfunctional,” one MP said.

This is my concern with a blanket ban, politicians like Kemi Badenoch, believe that it is a substitute for unregulated spaces, and technology companies will see it as a means of absolving themselves of responsibility concerning platform content. Blanket bans risk making child safety worse.
This is quite possibly the worst argument for age restrictions on social media, I have ever seen.

To hopefully reassure Alison, certainly in Parliament there are people like me and @chionwurah.bsky.social who are calling for the evidence to be reviewed properly (including understanding gaps) and to not move to a knee jerk response. Young people's evidence must be part of this.
It strikes me as astonishing that there is so little debate about a possible social media ban for under 16s. Almost all of the commentary assumes that those pushing for a ban have all the facts, and the moral high ground. The idea that there’s a counter perspective seems to be barely acknowledged.
