Great Western Railway (GWR) has set up mini-libraries across ten stations to encourage children to read over the summer holidays.

Author and former children's laureate, @MichaelRosenYes tells @AnnaJonesSky why the idea is so important. 📚

@BikeClub_UK Seriously dissatisfied with your service. Courier has failed to collect and neither of you are contactable. What can I do to resolve?

[Don McGowan @donmcgowan]

When this latest conflict in the Middle East is over, historians will look back at the UK and ponder over several things.

They’ll wonder why, in the first week of the war, the UK media, almost overwhelmingly, spent it attacking the Prime Minister.

And why our patriotism was hijacked by the right-wing media to lambast our own government.

How every channel was able to find ‘experts’ and historians to make fools of themselves and display extremely anti-British behaviour.

And they wonder why the leader of His Majesty’s Opposition spent days of her life working against the country.

Oh, and lastly, why the leader of a tiny minority party was in the USA, engaged in treason and traitorous behaviour with a foreign despot, to undermine our government.

We're in such a messed up time, a branch of reality fabricated by the far-right and their pet media outlets.

Whether you like Starmer or not, this is not the time to go after him. All that's unfolding is a crooked legacy being built around those who'd prefer to sell their souls and work against the country in a time of war.

@TheBritLad @jackiepreece Back from what?

[James Davis @JHDavisUK]

@RestoreBritain_ They are already. Will you publish details of all your of foreign backers?

[James Davis @JHDavisUK]

@RepJackKimble Sure they offer appointments: https://t.co/Nlh4qImJXV

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

@LozzaFox Is it too to ask to have a British person who can peak more than one language?

The BBC’s coverage of Conservative allegations of dishonesty against Rachel Reeves shows how its political coverage is still led by the right-wing press, argues @AdamBienkov

Two veteran US Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists watched the BBC Panorama that led to the decapitation of its two leading executives. Their verdicts may surprise you …. https://t.co/ImEqfBkzTh

The Prescott Review that triggered the BBC crisis turns out to more partial and slipshod than any of the selective pieces of its journalism that Prescott singles out to condemn. Excellent piece from my colleague at the Observer!

Please watch and share this 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇦🇺🇸

President Macron, "Naively, we have entrusted our democratic space to social media controlled by American entrepreneurs or Chinese corporations whose interests do not align with the survival of democracy"

"Children are exposed to harmful content, fueling mental health and behavioral crises among youth"

"Public spaces encourage emotion over reason, negativity over positivity—driving extremes"

"Algorithms amplify this for profit. Our democracies were not designed for this"

"If we Europeans do not reclaim control of our democracy, in ten years, those exploiting this infrastructure will have won"

"We will become a continent of conspiracy theorists, extremists, and noise"

"If we believe in democratic order, we must put science, knowledge, culture, education, and learning at the center"

"We must protect our youth and regulate social media with the same standards as democratic spaces: no hidden or fake accounts, equal responsibility for published content"

"Otherwise, racism, anti-Semitism, and hate will triumph. Europe can rebuild a 21st-century democracy—but it requires action"

The absurdity of JD Vance coming to Europe to lecture us on the death of free speech is laid bare. The Trump appointed head of Federal Communications Commission threatens ABC’s licence over his mild Kirk comments and Kimmel is gone. Free speech? Pah. https://t.co/eps1VaFnFj
