You might think this is bad, but imagine if they were over 60, holding up a placard with four particular words on it. That’s terrorism.

#GMB: "Children are now 3 times more likely to grow up in poverty despite all adults in the household working full time"

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Yesterday Keir Starmer announced Labour will nationalise British Steel and save 2700 jobs.

The Uni of Nottingham put 2700 staff at risk of redundancy.

This is just one university.

Across the UK 15,000 higher education jobs need saving.

Where is the rescue package for our universities?

Cities and towns will be devastated by these job losses.

Analytic philosophy: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, might be using a word incorrectly.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.

The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

Earlier this week, London Youth delivered an insightful training session for BSc Youth Studies students who explored the practical application of youth work principles and trauma‑informed approaches, discussing the impact of crime and barriers young people face when seeking help.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Starmer's resignation is not enough. What needs booting out is the politics he represents: corporate greed, anti-migrant rhetoric and endless war.

‘You can speak up for Palestinian people and not be antisemitic’

Green Party Leader @ZackPolanski says Benjamin Netanyahu has made many British Jews feel less safe by ‘conflating’ antisemitism and criticism of the Israeli government

As a GP, I am not allowed to receive a pen or post-it note pad from a pharmaceutical company rep

Govt banned them in case I was influenced to prescribe medications

This should also be banned

Influence is being bought in Govt

Patients should influence not the healthy & wealthy

@ItsTaz1989 People like Taz care more about decorum, than ethics. When somebody refers to an immoral liar as a liar, then, according to Taz, the immoral liar should be protected.

@BBCNewsnight Jo Grady is spot on.

[Julius Elster @JuliusElster]

@RobbieRinder Well, he should've resigned when it was clear that he was complicit in a genocide; he should've resigned when it was clear that he took money from rich donors for personal gains; he should've resigned when he ordered the police to arrest pensioners who oppose Isreal's genocide.

It's not a misstep. It's a beautiful illustration of how we got here in the first place. With the British media's full complicity.
