snippets from what grinds my gears - mostly politics and Love Island! go figure.

Huge peaceful crowd in Walthamstow. Protecting the community against the threat of far right thuggery.

[Nihal Arthanayake @TherealNihal]

Do you think a bunch of very rich people ever get around a table, laugh and say "they actually fell for it. They are blaming the immigrants."

[Nihal Arthanayake @TherealNihal]

Be safe my fellow immigrants and sons and daughters of immigrants. The UK is our country too and no amount of cocaine, cheap sportwear and Yaxley Lennon tiktoks are going to change that fact.

[Caroline Rowlands @caro_thinks]

@vicderbyshire - I just wanted to say… You are an excellent journalist and broadcaster. I love your work on @BBCNewsnight !

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

Since neither of the 2 biggest parties are willing to increase taxes on the super wealthy to invest in public services, or reverse the obscene 2 child benefit cap, or insulate homes, their crocodile tears about the most vulnerable are just that - totally insincere #ITVDebate

[Molly Scott Cato is on Bluesky @GreenPartyMolly]

My point neatly confirmed by @bbclaurak

All interviewees and commentators are blue or red

She’s wearing green, but that’s no substitute for a Green in the studio

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

It is clear the Conservatives are over.

They have no right to remain in government. They have no mandate. They need to call a GE now.

RT if you agree!

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

This was truly terrible from Sunak. But let’s not kid ourselves - had Brianna’s mum not been there today, no-one (including Keir Starmer) would have batted an eyelid.
It’s not good enough to stand against transphobia only when the mother of a murdered trans girl might be listening. It needs to be done all of the time.

@TheNewsAgents @lewis_goodall @EylonALevy @GlobalPlayer Brilliant interview!

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

To the morally bankrupt genocide apologists & antisemitism weaponisers: (and no I’m not shouting…..🙄)

✊🏾I unapologetically & unreservedly stand by my criticism of the Auschwitz Museum’s selective humanity. No institution or Govt is above reproach or criticism. A museum that brings to light the horrific genocide done to one but pledges unwavering support to a State in the midst of committing another genocide should expect criticism for its hypocrisy & double standards like any other institution in its position. It undermines every good work it does. It’s neither antisemitic or anti Jewish to call it out. Speaking up for Palestinians doesn’t equate to speaking against Jewish people or the Holocaust. Stop conflating the State of Israel with Jewish people. Never again means for ALL not for some.

If you’re offended by my position, please stay offended. The exterminated 22000+ Palestinians (inc 10,000 children) & millions more being subjugated by the Apartheid State of Israel would like to have word with you. #Gaza_Genocide #FreePalestine

@OnnyPonny @MikeClarke2020s @mattfrei @LBC We need this to be made a clip. This needs to be heard. Loving your journalism @mattfrei #lbc

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

"Can I just say how deeply offensive this is. Please. My family have nothing to do with Hamas"

Layla Moran interrupts Esther McVey who is insulting Palestinians.

McVey keeps trying to interrupt Moran, and at the end even Fiona Bruce tires of McVey and moves on #BBCQT @LaylaMoran

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

Layla Moran speaking more sense about Gaza, Hamas, politics, morality and Israel-Palestinian peace…

…than I’ve heard anyone else say on the subject.

[James Elder @1james_elder]

Ceasefire over in #Gaza. Attacks v near this hospital. Bombing consistent. Has humanity given up on the children of Gaza?! 😔

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff.

Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

[emily m @maitlis]

Breaking: Jurgen Klopp #LFC May refuse to comment to BBC #motd later today in solidarity with #lineker. Likely to offer his message through other broadcasters @TheNewsAgents

[Andrew Hunter Murray @andrewhunterm]

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service

[Micah Richards @MicahRichards]

I was not due to be working on MOTD tomorrow, but if I was, I would find myself taking the same decision that @IanWright0 & @alanshearer have.
