Nothing here is verifiable. As int journos are denied unfettered access to Gaza, it’s striking these Israeli allegations about the only journos in N Gaza, come as the IDF is accused by multiple human rights groups of committing grave violations of int law

The Haditha Massacre Photos, suppressed by the US military, have been obtained and published by @Newyorker. 24 Iraqi civilians, including children, were killed by US Marines - many shot in the head at close range 👉https://t.co/TQ3gpBUxOj

I don’t know that “target” is the verb when you drop five 2,000 pound bombs on a refugee camp

“There’s another significant fact – the government has indicated there is no personal victim here. That tells me the dissemination of this information did not result in any known physical injury.

“These two facts are very relevant. I would say if this was still unknown and closer to [2012] I would not be so inclined to accept this plea agreement before me.

“But it’s the year 2024”

“You stand before me to be sentenced in this criminal action,” Judge Manglona says. “I would note the following: Timing matters. If this case was brought before me some time near 2012, without the benefit of what I know now, that you served a period of imprisonment ... in apparently one of the harshest facilities in the United Kingdom.

[Defending Rights & Dissent @RightsDissent]

107 years ago today, Congress passed the Espionage Act.

This draconian law was intended as a "firm hand of stern repression" against those who opposed World War I.

It lives on as a tool to criminalize journalism and whistleblowing.

[Will Hutton @williamnhutton]

I’d add. Clacton suffers acute poverty with one ward ,Jaywick, the poorest in England. Farage’s Reform, proposing blanket 5 per cent cut in public services to pay for tax cuts, will devastate it. He offers nothing but hate, division and poverty- with a cigar and pint in hand.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

This should be the end of it #Farage

@carolinejmolloy @faizashaheen It’s frankly unbelievable.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

So painful to watch @faizashaheen on #Newsnight just now - she’s been treated appallingly. Coming on the heels of the deliberate humiliation of @HackneyAbbott, it speaks volumes about those in Labour leadership who apparently care so little about democracy - or even basic decency

[anna rothwell @annacrothwell]

@UKLabour going to struggle to vote for you after what you have done to @faizashaheen Campaigned for both of you at the last election & was so impressed by her commitment & local support. Only saying just this afternoon that was keen to see her unseat IDS. Gutted. #newsnight

SUCCESS! All of our clients who were facing removal to Rwanda have now been released thanks to the tremendous work of our legal team 👏👏👏 We will continue to fight this unjust law every step of the way.

[Women for Refugee Women 🧡 @4refugeewomen]

🚨 BREAKING: women are being targeted for forced removal to Rwanda

Around 8 women have received ‘Notices of Intent’ (NOI) and have been detained at Yarl’s Wood.

They have already survived traumatic experiences and were trying to rebuild their lives in the UK.

Estimations of arrests for expulsion to Rwanda: 18% Afghan, 21% Syrian, 15% Sudanese, 14% Eritrean, 14% Iranian.

All refugees, all legally entitled to status here. They’ve careful constructed the narrative of ‘illegal’ - they’re the illegal government.

‘Where is Rwanda?’ A copy of the leaflet being given to people detained for Rwanda.

Imagine being handing this while you’re imprisoned in preparation for exportation?

I’m endlessly appalled. I can’t comprehend this is who we’ve become.

[anna rothwell @annacrothwell]

@LouCalvey I always end up flying @Ryanair but I can guarantee I never would ever again if they participated in this appalling breach of international law. The fact he is even contemplating it disgusts me.
