Rosebank is a defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change. They must reject this disaster project.

It's brilliant and exciting to see Zohran Mamdani elected.

It’s impossible to avoid the conclusion that large parts of Westminster remaining on X - a platform that tolerates and amplifies extremism and racism - has led a great many people to normalise what previously was unacceptable.

To platform Israel, a state carrying out genocide in Gaza, killing 64,000+ people & silencing journalists on that stage, is obscene.

Eurovision should stand for peace, joy and shared humanity — not complicity in genocide. The BBC must withdraw from coverage if Israel is allowed to participate.
