Tens of thousands killed in two days in Sudan city, analysts believe
Sky News is not able to independently verify the claims, but stains and shapes resembling blood and corpses can be seen from space in satellite images.

A former opponent in the presidential race against Trump shouldn't be endorsing a media takeover by Trump allies. She shouldn't be speaking for a newspaper owned by one of Trump's biggest donors. And she shouldn't be on diminutive-using terms with a war criminal former Republican Secretary of State.
Hillary Clinton thinks you are stupid.
She thinks that people have concluded that Israel committed genocide because of TikTok.
A politician who voted for the Iraq war because of a pack of lies thinks young people are being brainwashed by disinformation.
Incredible.

Like many people, I've never been on tiktok. Yet I've seen endless sources of constant evidence of the genocide, first hand accounts, journalists there, international organisations, some (nowhere near enough) politicians, and of course, many Zionists not only admitting but revelling in it.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Isn't this misleading framing? To vote for a "collective leadership" instead of a "single leader" is in the spirit of internal democracy that Corbyn and Sultana both wanted.
Sultana already said they would both be co-leading the *formation* of a new party, not that they would be party leaders.

Oh God I needed this so much right now. Good old fashioned funny chaos and farce instead of constant depression in politics.
Looking forward to them setting up their own rival parties.

If we, for example, made people healthier by investing in the NHS, created green energy jobs, and lifted child poverty by removing the 2CBC, much of that money would be made back.
Meanwhile, this money in bureaucracy will never be made back because deterrents don't work on desperate asylum seekers.

Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.
While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

What is often ignored in analysis of channel crossings is the correlation between harsher border policies and increased risks. Use of larger, more unstable, boats directly contributing to greater loss of life, for example correlates with the ban on selling smaller more stable boats in Calais. 1/

Worsens integration in both directions. Makes it impossible for newcomers to settle and build a proper life. And encourages everyone else to see and treat them as interlopers.
The basic problem with the temporary refugee status policy - especially one lasting up to 20 years - is it leads to very few removals (based on Denmark's experience) but does significantly worsen integration.
