Last night a 25-year-old refugee from Sudan died after being hit by a train in Calais.

This is yet another avoidable tragedy, and one connected to recent developments in northern France…

"The time has come to debate" says Tory MP.

Before making absolutely certain that no debate is possible.

Today's announcement that the White House will end military support for the Saudi-led war in the Yemen war is a tribute to the work of so many activists over the years.

Yemen needs food, medicine, and health care—not bombs and blockades.

My name is Omar.

Today I'm using Freedom from Torture's platform to speak to you directly about the crisis of the UK government’s prison camps for refugees.

In the UK, the British government is appointing a major
Tory party donor to a top position at the BBC, and the ex-editor of the disgusting Daily Mail to head Ofted

Oh, and a new TV channel will be run by an ex-Murdoch henchman

I've never felt quite so ashamed of my country

The thing about @HillaryClinton is that she is the most tireless champion for democracy you will ever meet and I find that both inspiring and gutting at the same time.

Well, yes, Bitter Orange Tart just happens to be #RecipeOfTheDay. Apart from anything else, there are more things to make with Seville oranges than marmalade! This is not complicated: the base is bashed ginger nuts https://t.co/ZXSbk7uMX8

Opposition day debates absolutely do change the law, they change the law when governments have the good grace to listen to public feeling and parliamentary democracy. Currently they are not good nor do they have grace

It’s now four days since the military surrounded our home and placed my wife and I under house arrest. We have run out of food supplies and when my wife tried to pick food from the garden yesterday, she was blocked and assaulted by the soldiers staged in our compound. (ADMIN)

After four years marching lock-step with the US into oblivion, it's kind of bitter-sweet watching them trot off into a better future while we're still sat here in the shit.

Unsurprisingly, five years of calling Trump a 'populist' or an 'excess of democracy' despite his Electoral College victory has actually contributed to the Chinese regime's goal to fix an association between democracy and incompetence. https://t.co/MJRJYYSaqx

I love it that supporters of a government led by (checks notes) Boris Johnson are now suggesting that the reason children go hungry is that their feckless parents had too many of them.
