Angelina Jolie condemns the Taliban’s ban on women showing their faces and speaking publicly, saying, “A system that criminalizes the gaze, voice, and strength of women is guilty of both cowardice and repression.”

Unusual to see the Mail, Express, Times join the Guardian with all choosing the same image of anti-fascist demonstrations.

The #Mosque in Hartlepool that was attacked by far right thugs.
Last year it gave £25k to the British Legion through the sale of poppies
Cooked over 25k meals for people in Hartlepool who were hungry
Anybody got a list of what the far right thugs have done for their communities?

[Frankie Boyle Updates @frankieboyle]

Funny how they don’t call them race riots when it’s white people

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

There are thousands and thousands of women and children in Gaza who could really do with the total outrage & coverage these supposed feminists and the media have for one woman in an Olympics. But yeh, I suppose that doesn’t fit their agenda

The plastic bags laws have been rewarded with a 80% reduction on UK beaches. The legislation introduced charges for single use plastic bags. Now the Marine Conservation Society are urging UK Govts to ban/reduce other single use plastics. https://t.co/zVGtf9GGip

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Because, instead of taking part in the Munich Security Conference, Vance sat in his hotel room, googled “+woman +dolphin,” and then tweeted about the results. For other Americans there this was embarrassing.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I’m Kamala Harris, and I’m running for President of the United States.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

If y'all think MAGA is in panic mode now, wait until Beyonce and Taylor Swift endorse Kamala Harris.

🚨 URGENT STATEMENT 🚨

Thanks to the brilliant film makers at MP Watch. Such good news: Wycombe is no longer represented by a climate crisis denier.
