Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

For legal reasons, my opinion will change in just under five hours, but this is a horrific assault on freedom of expression.
I support Palestine Action.

Have just finished the Thatcherism episodes of @originstorypodcast.bsky.social Thanks so much for producing them. Honestly so interesting and explaining so much that helps to understand the state of things today. Superb stuff 🫶🏻

I’m always so impressed by the European sides’ fans and how engaged they are in comparison to us Brits.
All we can ever muster seems to amount to booing national anthems and gestures of solidarity 😑

My favourite Bluesky thread yet.
By no means the most important, or illuminating, but the most compelling combination of being amusing, whilst crystallising my take on the absurdity that is Kemi Badenoch.
She sounds like a LinkedIn arsehole. “Sandwiches are not a real food”. 🔔🔚

I've no doubt she was trying to be funny but she sounds like a fucking madman.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’
Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻♂️

Quite a few ‘starter packs’ doing the rounds. I’m enjoying the Panini sticker collector’s sense of “got, got, need, got” as the lists contain fewer and fewer unique suggested follows.
I’m so cool and hip.

I’ve made a starter pack of lobby (ish) journos - those reporting on UK politics
Give me a nudge if you think you should be on it and I missed you!

I want my first Bluesky post/tweet/thing to be really consequential. A post to set the tone for high-quality, witty and funny content for years to come. The type of thing I can look back on and be proud of. Maybe something that’ll help me build a following. Just need to be aware of the character lim
