[Press Gazette @pressgazette]

The Committee to Protect Journalists has found more journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than any year since its records began 30 years ago (2024 was the previous record). Israel was responsible for two-thirds of deaths in both years https://t.co/zHddiLGSiH

@rv_southern He also seems to think VCs run student societies as well lol

Quick one @GoodwinMJ because I know you’re big on law and order: why are you sending out fake letters that pretend to be from a local woman but are printed by the London printers used by @reformparty_uk? They make no mention of being produced by your campaign, which is illegal.

NEW: The Mandelson-Epstein scandal is also the Mandelson-Palantir scandal.

MP @alexburghart asks why Keir Starmer’s visit to Palantir’s office in Washington - arranged by Mandelson while his firm repped Palantir - was kept off books.

Unbelievable that a man who spent US$75m on a film no-one wants to see about Melania Trump has just fired almost all the foreign correspondents on the newspaper he owns. You might think nothing was happening in this world. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost #SaveThePost

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I was in court for Nathan Gill’s sentencing, I’ve done 2 deep dives on his handler’s network, @thenerve_news has published the only comprehensive timeline & I’m in my 9th year of covering topic.

I haven’t been invited on @BBCNews but I do try & explain it here to @novaramedia

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine.

My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask:

Why, even now, is no-one asking questions?

[Lizzie Dearden @lizziedearden]

Nathan Gill, then a Brexit Party MEP, was paid to make pro-Russian media appearances and statements in the European Parliament

He organised a presentation on a Ukraine "peace plan" written by a politician who met Putin and praised the event the next day

BREAKING: Curtis Yarvin - anti-Black racist adored by Trump’s VP JD Vance & funder Peter Thiel - is being showcased at @HTLGIFestival this weekend, interviewed by Labour’s @campbellclaret. Why give him a loudspeaker? /1

Concerns about the far right should also be about mainstream politicians & media as they have played a key part in making the far right the threat it is today despite pretending to be bulwarks

You can't defeat the far right without changing a system that uses it as a distraction

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.

It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.

Everyone owns this. The #GazaFamine is the world’s famine."

- @UNReliefChief

[Rosalynd Southern @rv_southern]

A woman who tweeted this is being made a cause célèbre by sections of the mainstream press. We're in very dark and dangerous times

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

More journalists killed in Gaza than World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam, Yugoslavia & Afghanistan combined

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

Yesterday we attended the launch of Safer Politics.

We're proud to support this project from @DigiPolCentre @LivUni, which provides online safety toolkits for politicians, candidates and communication staff.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, CPJ’s call to protect the press is more urgent than ever.

Today is the most dangerous time to be a journalist in CPJ’s history. At least 124 journalists and media workers were killed last year, nearly two-thirds of them Palestinians killed by Israel.

"The balance here is off the scale" 📢

The government's proposed cuts to disability benefits will deepen poverty and hardship, and push many further from work.

Watch @IainKPorter give evidence to @CommonsWorkPen on the cuts.
