A wee CODA under a totally different level of stress, I bleed for him having to navigate through this terrible scenario with additional pressures on him by the lack of access for his Deaf parents there. Just hoping that this brutal bombing ends soon and peace reigns once again!

“The planes bomb us. We are deaf so it scares us. There is no one to help us and [we] cannot hear.”

Ahmed Abu Odeh and his wife Walaa are both deaf. The couple and their children are trying to survive Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.

@BomasFin Scam, and fake article - avoid

[JMc @jeffmcw]

@ukdadventure @ZackPolanski @gabriel_zucman Yeah but they cannot sell fast enough their real estates innit?!

[JMc @jeffmcw]

@mbga_uk @ZackPolanski @gabriel_zucman Wrong, its 6 not 8 so stop exaggerating and moreover, what about Reform councillors - 20 newly elected Reform councillors have either resigned or suspended...

@DonahueRogers @wesstreeting Glad .y MP isn't on this although he's a Labour Minister

@thecrimeagents @AndyHughesCrime @GlobalPlayer What was this?

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

@TheNewsAgents Just quoted £450 for an electric conversion of 4 single sockets to double sockets, and £350 for a gas safe engineer to connect new hob, so Brexit has actually doubled tradespeople incomes after all those from the Eastern EU countries returned home, they don't want them back IMHO!

[JMc @jeffmcw]

Proud of @majellamcateer, who kept pushing this when others weren't sure it would happen.
It is historic and I celebrate it.
But I've written an open letter to Minister Lyons because proud moments must become real change.
Deaf people deserve answers not later. Now.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said:

"It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)"

"It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country"

"It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority"

If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong.

Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.

@TollytB @snb19692 Brexit increased the likelihood of more small boats and so it proved. 2016 9 people came to our shores that way, 2018 over 41,000. Brexit when will people get it. Nige and Bojo created a problem we didn't have

[Tolly 🐢💨 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇦🇮🇪 @TollytB]

We asked 100 people, "How many times can a lying, grifting cvnt, change his story over a £5M bung?"

You said, "Small boats."

@SangitaMyska A place in the House of Lords in the offering perhaps...

[Damian Low @DamianLow3]

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.

Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.

Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

[JMc @jeffmcw]

This!

[David @TLLandscape]

@faisalislam 90% of UK papers owned by 3 billionaire families. The same three dominant publishers account for over 40% of the audience reach among the UK's top 50 online news brands. They control the narrative not report on it. You’re reacting to their version of the world, to keep them rich.

[JMc @jeffmcw]

Just wondering if all this speculation about Kier Starmer in the mass media conducted by their billionaire owners wanting to divert us all away from (and hopefully forgetting all about) Farage's £5m donation?...

[John O'Connell @jdpoc]

There have been ~10 attacks on UK Synagogues in the last 12 months.

There have been ~300 attacks on UK Mosques in the last 12 months.

Why is the former a problem ... but the latter isn't?

[Voice of Rabbis @voiceofrabbis]

Another billboard spotted in a Hasidic Jewish community in upstate New York.

A growing Orthodox Jewish public message:

“Israel does not represent the Jewish people.
Zionism is not Judaism.”

Many know this truth privately.

More are beginning to say it publicly.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

Wall to wall attacks by Labour & Tory and BBC & ITV and print media all seeking to paint Jewish Polanski as antisemitic when the charge is absurd

No proper scrutiny of the racist, authoritarian, Trump-loving Farage

British Establishment are OK with Farage but terrified of Polanski who threatens THEIR power & privilege and will make them pay their fair share of tax

[Dr Iain Overton @iainoverton]

I report here for @bylinetime that Reform UK’s treasurer and three other major donors who gave £1.55m to Nigel Farage’s party are all linked to a single address: One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge: the ultra-luxury apartment block long associated with offshore wealth, oligarch capital and secrecy.
