In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. https://t.co/SSHiAI3Umc
This opens up a can of worms @NHSEngland
🔴Will poppies be banned?
🔴Will LGBTQ/Pride emblems be banned?
🔴Is a Palestinian flag with no text considered "political"?
🔴Why is a Palestinian flag considered to "anti Jewish hatred"? Is that idea not racist towards Palestinians?
🔴Will all flags, including Union Jack and St Georges Cross, be banned?
🔴Will Ukraine badges be banned?
🔴Will the Star of David be banned?
🔴Where is the line that constitutes what is "political" and what is not? Is a Keffiyah a political symbol?
🔴Can badges be worn on clothing on the way to and from work?
🔴If a Jewish person decides to wear a Palestine badge, is that Jewish person exhibiting "anti Jewish hatred"?
'Don't use the NHS to promote your views!'
@LordJohnMann doesn't believe any political badges are 'appropriate' within the NHS and urges staff to keep their views outside of work.
What happened to me was unacceptable - but it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
A Jewish woman was put in a bikini in Auschwitz.
Women were put in ball-gags for speaking out.
Women were covered in imitation semen.
And all because xAI did not build Grok with safety in mind.
NEW: Ex-Violence Against Women & Girls and Victims Minister @AlexDaviesJones tells me she doesn’t believe an outright social media ban will work without tougher regulation on big tech
The former minister says a ban without further action will let big tech ‘off the hook’ for harmful content

The speed at which the far-right has mobilized around this tragedy exposes a staggering empathy deficit.
For yrs, when Black communities in the UK called for inquiries into deaths in custody or the disproportionate use of force, the Far right's response was often to scrutinize the victim's past, defend the difficult job of the police, & demand unquestioning respect for law & order.
Now, when faced with a catastrophic police failure affecting a young white man, the immediate response from the right is anti-establishment fury & demands for RADICAL overhaul.
It forces the question: if experiencing just a fraction of the institutional dismissiveness minorities face is this unbearable, why was there such fierce resistance to understanding the minority experience for all these years?

Labour's @TanDhesi tells @WilfredFrost he is thankful to Henry's father for his speech at a time 'when there have been too many people trying to divide communities'
Residents in Southampton are dealing with the aftermath of the protests last night over Henry Nowak's murder.

Henry Nowak's dad outside court yesterday said: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension"
Today this is what’s happening, these lot do not give a fuck about Henry or his family. It’s never about the victim, they just want to riot.
"Mr Keir Starmer broke the promises he made."
Palestinian children Mahmoud, 12, and Obaida, 15, react to the UK government's pledge to evacuate 300 sick and injured children.
But only around 50 have been brought over so far - zero this year.
