Gary Lineker retweeted a post with rat imagery about Zionism, which he admitted he didn’t notice before hitting retweet. He did what most public figures don’t do and owned up to his mistakes. I firmly believe Lineker isn’t an antisemite and that this wouldn’t have been his intention.

Gary Lineker ‘to leave the BBC this week’ after antisemitism row
Presenter expected to host his last Match of the Day on Sunday and will not front 2026 World Cup coverage
Gary Lineker is expected to announce he is leaving the BBC on Monday after apologising for amplifying online material with antisemitic connotations, the Guardian understands.
The Match of the Day host will reportedly not present the 2026 World Cup or next season’s FA Cup after “bowing out by mutual agreement” with the broadcaster. Continue reading...

We're in London today with a big old bus to tell our Govt this country cannot afford cuts. Instead they should tax us, the super rich. A 2% wealth tax alone could raise up to £460mln a week. @Keir_starmer - invest in a fairer economy. Patriotic Millionaires say Tax Our Wealth

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

RIP Hind Rajab.
Today is one year on since this little six year old was killed (my daughter's age) - and then so were the two brave medics who came to rescue her, as agreed by the IDF, as she cowered in her family car with her family dead around her.
I will never forget this story.

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.

We need to start judging a country's economic success not by how many billionaires it has, but by how few hungry children it has. Every child has a right to dignity, and every child deserves an equal opportunity to learn, grow and dream.
