I know Just Stop Oil aren't everyone's cup of tea these days, but should we be worried that people are being jailed for five and four years because of an entirely non-violent protest? I think we probably should.

The extreme level of fighting and devastation in Gaza is incomprehensible and inexcusable.

Nowhere is safe. Everywhere is a potential killing zone.

It is high time for the parties to show the political courage and political will to finally reach a deal.

Safe and legal routes for asylum seekers has always been the right answer. The advice is correct. And half of the public support it, only 1 in 6 opposes.

So this is Just Stop Oil’s original demand becoming national policy

Works out at roughly 600 voters per English, Welsh and Scottish constituency turned away because of ID problems. Might not sound like much until you factor in that there were 20 MPs elected with majorities of under 500. The VoterID Law is not fit for purpose.

This is amazing news!

The onshore wind ban has been in place for 9 years.

We've been in government for 72 hours, we've lifted it.

That's the pace we're going to move at.

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

All I'm saying is that if *I* was trying to pull off the biggest jailbreak in history, I'd establish myself as the world's most beloved keycutter, and then get appointed Prisons Minister.

It remains the case that no leader has got more votes for Labour in the 21st century than Jeremy Corbyn.

@tatt1es @bencsmoke How does the cost of the ticket relate to this political protest?

@ThomasBugala @dieworkwear I'm from the UK and recently spent time in France, Germany & Denmark. Didn't see any men's fanny packs so you might stick out a bit. Instead just wear a nice little outfit with whatever bag you'd normally choose (maybe see Derek's recent thread on backpacks?)?

We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, in an attack this morning in Gaza City. The attack killed Fadi, along with 5 other people including 3 children, while he was cycling to work, near the MSF clinic where he was providing care. 1/4
