I’m told it’s “a slam dunk” that Camden Council leader Sagal Abdi-Wali will be Labour’s candidate in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election.
No one tell Zia Yusuf.
It’s well worth reading this article by Lamy. She shows how vicious racist pseudo-scientists & their far right support network was able to frame the mainstream press coverage of Jason Arday right from the start.
Instead of smearing the Irish as "freeloaders" who owe Britain a duty to pay for the defence of the UK's western flank, the British media might press Andy Burnham to release London's files on the MI5-UVF slaughter of 33 Irish citizens. Details here: https://t.co/tIjr6FN8Ii
وهي تقاد للاعتقال تقول هذه السيدة البريطانية:
"يتم اعتقالي لمجرد حمل لافتة من الكرتون بينما حكومتنا ترسل الأسلحة لإسرائيل وتفتح قواعدنا الجوية لارتكاب الانتهاكات الإنسانية الجماعية في فلسطين."
Having taken over John Craven’s record as the longest-serving Newsround presenter this year, it felt like the right time to take on a new challenge.
What an honour to get a message from the man himself 🥹
12 July 1998:
As revenge for blocking the Orange Order parade walking down the Garvaghy Road in Drumcree,
the UVF firebombed the only Catholic family living in a Ballymoney housing estate -
burning Richard (11), Mark (10) and Jason (9) to death.
And that's why these SCUM will never be allowed to walk down that road.
NEVER.

Yorgen Fenech is one of the most powerful businessmen in Malta. He’s just been acquitted of the murder of investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galicia. Her sons heard days of evidence in open court & have reached their own judgement. This is bold & brave. 👊
@RaheemKassam@Channel4News@esmewren@Verbatim_Media It could be the my great aunt Florence pretending to be a reporter for all I care - if you can’t explain why Farage is on camera thanking a supposed foreign billionaire for his secret donations, it’s over. Cry more.

Just saw a screening of American Doctor and it absolutely Devastated me.
The film follows 3 American doctors who worked at hospitals in Gaza in 2024 and 2025.
Some of you may remember them as doctors who coauthored the letter to Biden from 100 health care workers who detailed the absolute horrors Israel was inflicting on children and hospitals in Gaza.
I brought my Palestinian friend and it made everything feel more real. He's lost 4 cousins in Gaza. They're dead now, because of Israel's genocide. His cousins are dead.
I felt like such a fraud. I post on social media, and read my history books and donate money occasionally, but for him it's real life. He'll never get the chance to speak to his cousins ever again.
Because they're dead.
Because Israel murdered them.
The film just wrecked me.
I don't understand it.
Forget the photo at the beginning of the movie of the 6 dead toddlers.
Forget the amputations and gory clips of surgeries on children.
If all someone saw was just a 10 second clip of the rubble that used to be Gaza.
Just the rubble, nothing else.
How is that not enough to make anyone instantly hate Israel?
You shouldn't need the videos of them double tapping hospitals - first dropping a bomb on the hospital and then dropping another bomb minutes later killing the civilians who were trying to rescue hospital patients from underneath the rubble.
You shouldn't need to hear these doctors testifying on CNN and in front of Congressmen that they saw dead children who were hit in the head from Israeli sniper fire every. single. day.
One photo of the rubble should be enough.
I don't know if this is coherent. I'm an emotional mess right now. I'm just so angry and forlorn and emotionally devastated.
Go see American Doctors. It's the most powerful film I've ever seen in my entire life.
Not for the faint of heart.
But also everyone should see it.
Free Palestine.
Entrapment is tricking a person into doing something unlawful that they had no intention of doing.
Entrapment is NOT providing an opportunity to commit a crime, it does not count as entrapment if the person is already willing and ready to break the law.
Reform’s crisis management is going brilliantly.
James Orr and Dan Jukes have both stepped down, which looks very much like an admission that they know exactly how serious this is. And it’s not as though they can simply deny what happened. We have it all on film.
Then Lee Anderson was sent onto live TV this morning in place of Zia Yusuf. Anderson said an investigation had begun. Asked who was leading it, he couldn’t say. Pressed again, he admitted it hadn’t even started yet and was starting today.
If you’re going to lie your way through a scandal on live TV, at least send your best people to do it.
Mark Carney and Bryan Adams! Casually having a coffee and being given their space. We are, most of us, kind, humble, and respectful as a people and a nation. I'm so proud to be a Canadian!🍁
https://t.co/aHOl0aHhiK Kerr was one of the biggest cowardly thugs known for his torture and brutality of naked, defenceless political prisoners on the Blanket Protest. I remember cheering so loud in my cell when I had heard justice had finally caught up with the coward. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
