GB News

It has the word ‘News’ in the name

Its slogan is “Great Britain’s News Channel”

It appears in the news section of my TV planner

…and yet @Ofcom is saying it���s fine for Tory politicians to host their own shows on there because it’s not a news channel.

Stitch-up.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

This is totally at odds with the British values of which we Will be hearing a huge amount today. It will backfire as did the chorus of millions. And is totally unnecessary. It’s what happens when the police take their lead from political messaging

Thank you @ShelaghFogarty for excoriating @kezdugdale far more effectively than I could ever have done. 👏👏

This is beautiful.

This statement is embarrassing. The Stand, proud of its alternative roots, won’t let a woman MP speak because its staff are not ‘comfortable’ with her feminism. What would they done with Lenny Bruce or Alexi Sayle in his prime? #LetWomenSpeak

[Roddy Dunlop KC @RoddyQC]

Aileen knows. We are in dangerous territory here. Those cheering on The Stand, careful what you wish for. How will you feel when staff at another venue claim they won’t serve trans people, or gay people, or Christians? You ok with that?

[Scottish Coastal Clean Up @ScotCoastClean]

Welcome to Scotland. This beach is on Skye & this is the reality of many of our beaches. A huge group of folk have worked incredibly hard over the last few days, to try & remove as much plastic pollution from Skye's beaches as possible. The issue is huge, shocking & heartbreaking

Right so the phone alert that took place on the weekend and cost millions to orchestrate was subcontracted out to Infosys.This is the company that the wife of Rishi Sunak has shares in and is owned by her family.

[Holly-Anna Petersen @HollyAPetersen]

I haven't been able to do much social media recently because all my free time has gone into preparing for #TheBigOne

& what a weekend it was 💚

I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who made it possible

In the face of climate collapse, we choose hope & determination 💚

OK, while this is hilarious to watch how the hell is it legal?

🧵THE WORK WE NEED TO DO

Following Earth Day’s incredible 90k-strong March for Biodiversity, yesterday we marched to End Fossil Fuels with thousands of protesters from The Big One’s 200+ supporting organisations.

[Extinction Rebellion UK 🌍 @XRebellionUK]

When we block a road to highlight the govt failure to act on the #ClimateCrisis
OUTRAGE from media

When 60,000 people peacefully & lawfully surround Parliament for #EarthDay for the same reason
SILENCE from @BBCNews @itn @SkyNews @TheSun @MailOnline @TalkTV @GBNEWS @thetimes
