Our media is deeply, profoundly racist. That's all there is to it. If they weren't, or even maintained a pretence that they were anti racist, the details about Cofnas own appalling world view would have been the story. When was the last time the media went in hard on a fascist?
Leaders of Jewish school in North London wrote to parents saying "no child will be allowed to learn in our school" if their mother drives.
Will this be debated on radios and TV? Will Judaism be maligned because of it?
Didn’t think so.
112 care leavers aged 18 to 24 died last year, according to a government-commissioned review – that's three to four times the rate of their peers.
Sky’s @NickMartinSKY has been following the journeys of people leaving the care system for many years.
Joining @skynewsniall, he tells us about the challenges young people face when leaving care and shares the stories of those with first-hand experience of living in care and what changes could help them when leaving the system.

Anyone recall when @jeremycorbyn was hit in the head with an egg and media laughed , or when someone drove all the way to Finsbury to kill him or even when the army used his picture for target practice - don’t recall him begging money for protection do you
What on earth are you talking about?
You were literally in Cabinet while the UK continued to sell weapons that were used in the systematic killing of thousands of Palestinians.
You don’t get to rewrite history. Blood is on your hands too.
Someone has to say it.
The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - on this platform is out of control.
We cannot allow a vile vocal minority to divide our nation. A lot of this content is illegal and Ofcom should be investigating.
Solidarity with every player targeted. We are united.
🇨🇳 Chinese Foreign Ministry:
The root cause for disruptions to the passage through the Strait of Hormuz is the illegal US-Israeli military operations against Iran.
Masked men burned Black families out of their homes in Belfast.
The UK government calls it “civil disorder.”
By “civil disorder” they mean a race pogrom they refuse to name
Real security means traditional defence, yes.
But also resilient public services, a world class health service.
Homes people can afford to live in, clean water and clean air.
Richard Burgon just exposed the most glaring double standard in British policy
"Imagine if this weekend in London there was a Russian real estate event selling Ukrainian land. The government would ban it immediately.
Instead, we have an Israeli real estate event openly advertising the illegal sale of land in occupied Palestinian territories. The government recognizes Palestine. Why isn't this banned?"
The right are trying to capitalise on his killing by pushing a narrative of two-tier policing. Don't let them. We understand Henry's family's pain intimately, from the long list of names of Black people killed directly or negligently by police in equally horrifying circumstances.
Henry Nowak's killing was horrific. Police left him to die, while handcuffing him, and ignoring his pleas for help. Britain's Black community knows this pain well; a loved one left to die by police in undignified circumstances, while being treated like a criminal.
Israeli attacks have killed and injured an average of 11 children every 24 hours over the past week in Lebanon
——
A report by the United Nations Children's Fund reveals that Israel has killed and injured an average of 11 children every 24 hours over the past week in Lebanon.
Beyond the immediate physical toll, an estimated 770,000 children are experiencing severe distress from repeated exposure to Israeli attacks, loss of family and friends, and forced displacement.
UNICEF has previously reported that both children and caregivers across the country accounted symptoms linked to traumatic stress and grief, including extreme fear, nightmares, sleeplessness, and hopelessness. Human rights agencies warn that without immediate psychosocial support in secure settings, an entire generation is at risk of developing chronic or lifelong mental health issues.
Israeli officials have been calling for the ethnic cleansing and erasure of Gaza since October 2023 - Netanyahu's announcement is just the latest addition.
But the media and political class spent every day since pretending it was self-defence and a hostage operation.
Apparently that UK judge that let three teenage rapists go free is known for light sentences for sexual crimes. The longest sentence was 36 months. He needs to be in prison.
You weren’t “truly appalled” when I$rael tried to kill me in an airstrike, or at the killing of thousands of civilians in Lebanon or when you ignored legal advice to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation you utter fraud.
Your government is complicit in the genocide in Gaza, the massacre of children in Lebanon and an ethnic cleansing operation on a scale larger than the Nakba.
I’m “truly appalled” that you, Keir Starmer, David Lammy and the rest of the rotten British Cabinet aren’t being hauled in front of The Hague and tried as war criminals
