I often don't have enough time or energy for personal social media (even though it's my job), I haven't posted nearly a years worth of pics on Insta 😅, but I'm going to try and add a few personal thoughts at least on Bluesky, especially during the exodus from Twitter for my likeminded peeps #FBPE

Donald met Zohran and was instantly smitten. I haven’t seen Trump suck someone’s dick that hard since Bubba.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

There is a direct line between Donald Trump trying to destroy the BBC and him excusing the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump hates the independent free press – whether in the US, Saudi Arabia or the UK. We will always defend it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

A selection of fury from Labour MPs, ministers and advisors - “This is batshit crazy” “they are f-ing deluded” “did we watch the Tories and think, let’s have a bit of that?” “why are you slagging off your main rival and then putting him on the morning round to show everyone how much better he is”

Getting Rosalind Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science

What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Flags on lampposts. Red marks on roads. Balaclavas outside hotels.

This isn't patriotism, writes Prof Richard Murphy. It's intimidation.

Why aren’t the laws applied?
What makes this criminal damage acceptable?
Sometimes red paint can get you 14 years. Sometimes it is tolerated. When did intimidating your neighbours become acceptable?
