Difficult to imagine any other situation where the headline wouldn’t mention that the strike was on a school

Taxpayers are paying for two new helicopters for the royals while increasing their official funding by £45m a year. But the royals are cheering that air ambulances have to rely on charity.

The Israeli government bombed a school and killed more than 100. And it’s not the biggest story in the news.
It’s one of the smallest.
What is wrong with us all.
For as long as I live.
I will never understand this.

Huge numbers in West Street, Bristol. The street is full of people as far as the eye can see

Everyone would do well to listen to what @JacquiMckenzie6 says in this interview… she’s a REAL person, NOT an algorithm.
Jacqui has extensive knowledge of the processes & procedures of which most of us are arrogantly ignorant.
How fortunate this nation is to have such expertise

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Elon Musk says he is a free speech advocate, but is using his social media profile on X to promote far-right disinformation and feed a "frenzy" against immigrants, minorities and Muslims, says Marc Owen Jones, a disinformation expert.

"British riots"
There are no riots in Aberdeen
There are no riots in Dundee
There are no riots in Edinburgh
There are no riots in Glasgow
There are no riots in Cardiff
There are no riots in Swansea
There are no riots in Newport
There are no riots in Wrexham

[Alexander Clarkson  @APHClarkson]

Several people who organised the Labour's campaign might want to ask themselves whether tactical gambits echoing far right rhetoric when it comes to migration numbers even if strategic goals differed was really a responsible way of defusing Conservative talking points

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

Malaysia issues a travel warning to the UK. Other countries will follow.

What is happening now will have a massive economic impact on the U.K. for a very long time. Deprived regions will become more deprived, investments could be spiked, businesses will think twice.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

"We've had a former Home Secretary who referred to refugees as an invasion.. We've had Nigel Farage on GB News saying British Muslims don't have the same values.. Migrants, Muslims, have been blamed for people not being able to access housing.. the NHS.. Rather than saying this is the result of political decisions by governments"

Zarah Sultana calls out the 'legitimate concerns' argument for these far right thugs and is piled on by everyone else on the panel - surreal @zarahsultana

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

The BBC owes @Geetagurumurthy an apology.

[We Deserve Better @_we_deserve_]

The BBC are whitewashing racism.

[Avery Edison @aedison]

absolutely horrifying that these fascist riots, which are the result of decades of right-wing politics being normalized by both parties, will be responded to with *more* right-wing policies, chiefly the expansion of the police and surveillance state. we’re circling the drain
