Very inspiring to interview Kate Wilson about her fight for justice for Spycops victims, for the latest issue of @PositiveNewsUK

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.

[David Crowe @CroweDM]

Better than your average placard. This was in Budapest a little earlier tonight.

[Maria Tadeo @mariatad]

American endorsement was futile. Vance’s trip to Budapest made no difference. Weak, decaying, facing civilisational erasure, the MAGA message not only does not resonate before a European audience, it gets rejected.

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

Looking at a range of data – including NHS hospital admissions for assault with a sharp object, and knife-enabled homicides – suggests the overall picture is more encouraging than a lot of commentators would have you believe

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

A great challenge to work on this feature for Positive News, in the current issue of the mag, and interview the incredibly inspiring Samir Khattab from @StGilesTrust. Many thanks also to @UnitedBorders @YouthEndowFund @WMPolice https://t.co/FlHU9koahO

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

Alarmist claims about knife crime often rely heavily on police recorded figures being higher than they were in the past – and fail to account for the fact that improvements in police recording practices have had a big impact on the data

[Jonathan Freedland @Freedland]

There has been a strong reaction to the antisemitism allegations levelled at Nigel Farage - except from those you might have expected to condemn it most loudly. My piece for @JewishNewsUK on a strange silence

“But I would emphasise that if they are doing to you what they did to us, it’s because you're doing something right.” Thanks to @fruitbatmania and @loosepea

Since this has escaped my normal audience there’s a few things I want to clarify:

1. I am actually American.

2. It should go without saying that I condemn in the clearest possible terms politically motivated acts of violence.

3. I am a firm supporter of free speech and the right to argue political beliefs in a public forum without fear of violent retribution.

4. Campus debate culture is not representative of constructive political discourse and the proliferation of outrage-based model of clip farming has driven more division than serious engagement with opposing political ideas.

5. The events in question resemble a protest or a rally far more than any kind of serious grappling with ideas and are often advertised as such by organizers to draw attention and court controversy.

6. While Charlie Kirk was a prominent figure in this space, he was neither the worst offender nor even particularly responsible for the degradation of civility in college politics.

7. All this is to say, a lot of people read the term debate and jump to conclusions about good arguments and open discourse, but if you’re familiar with these events you know it’s a fairly hollow display of what politics is and how we ought to engage across ideologies.

I don’t think this is controversial, but I do want to note that this fairly moderate criticism of the incentives of our political culture has been met with some of the most despicable comments I have ever received.

@thameswater So disabled residents like me are expected to travel for more than an hour on public transport just to bring home enough water to wash one plate with? Shameful

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

@thameswater Also, I've been told it's out of water now. Will you be setting up another one? How are you planning to get water to residents with no water supply?

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

@thameswater That's more than 30 minutes away from me on public transport and I'm only capable of carrying back a small amount. You ought to be distributing bottled water to all affected residents

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

@thameswater Still no update? I hope you will be compensating us for all the bottled water we are buying since you have not provided any

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

I love having no running water whatsoever and I love paying higher bills to @thameswater 💙

[Thames Water 💧 @thameswater]

We’re sorry if you’re experiencing a loss of water supply or loss of pressure in SE19, SE20, SE26, SE27 & SW16 due to a burst pipe.

We’re working to fix the problem and get water back to customers. Please see our website for further updates: https://t.co/i4YCDT2IeO

[Hannah Partos @hannahhh]

@thameswater Are we talking hours / days / weeks? You can't be any more specific?
