So many pictures of murdered and maimed children. So many.
But also there was a beloved music teacher, Elham Farah, shot in the leg by a sniper to use as bait, then run over by a tank, in November 2023. A beloved old woman. A teacher.

Trump has clearly not spoken to a single Palestinian about this plan. Gaza is our land. Palestine is our home. Peace cannot come at the cost of our country.

I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him.

Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.

Crucial to be aware of this ongoing threat of ethnic cleansing.

In this moment, it's essential the UK govt turbocharges efforts towards Palestinian statehood and holds the US to account to ensure it keeps within the rule of law and respects human rights including self determination.
Trump says US will take over the Gaza Strip, make it the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’ & permanently relocate Gazans > Extraordinary moment as Trump overturns decades of US policy in remarks that will anger US allies in region.
Analysis by Sky’s Dom Waghorn > news.sky.com/story/trumps...
Trump's Gaza solution betrays his ignorance of history - and could make the conflict worse
Contrary to the US president's claim that many countries have offered to help take Palestinians in, none have done so publicly.

Well deserved.
A real pleasure to be awarded an honorary degree from @sussexuni.bsky.social this morning to recognise my work in green politics. A very fetching gown too (tho Richard thought the hat looked better on him :). Congratulations to everyone collecting awards today 🎉

She knew this would happen. That's what courage looks like. By contrast, look at the people in this shot. (With the possible exception of Vance's wife.)

James Watt Brewdog's CEO is worth £262,000,000 he is refusing to raise the wage of his staff in London by the £1 an hour to keep them at the National Living Wage.

Brewdog is apparently a 'nice' company, but wage freezes don't seem very nice.

Do they?

She cares. They don't. She does. They do nothing. She acts. They politicise. Shame on every politician and journalist staying silent while @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is trolled by the richest man in the world. Musk could not give a toss about abused children.
This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

Please watch this speech by Jess Phillips in the HoC to guage how pationate she is about the victims of Child Sex Abuse.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

@bbclaurak.bsky.social is a disgrace. Complicit in the demise of political debate and the rise and destruction of democratic politics. Shame on you.
Farage’s refusal to condemn Musk’s outrageous statements shows total unfitness for public office. But @bbclaurak.bsky.social fails to hold him to account & allows whole interview to be on his terms. No focus on Reform’s divisive policies & no effective challenge to his dangerous insinuations

This is important & necessary. I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.
Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

This is genuinely terrifying. With his endless wealth, he could have dedicated himself to building bridges and making the world a kinder, gentler place.

Instead, he is platforming Tommy Robinson a lot!

"It is “too early” to say whether the UK will strip the wife of Bashar al-Assad, Asma al-Assad, of her British citizenship, the prime minister has said." Guardian.

Shamima Begum also went to Syria to marry a terrorist & was stripped in 2024.

The Met investigated Asma for torture & terrorism
