@PaulTassi If Destiny fans weren’t having a existential crisis, and Sony hadn’t overpaid for Bungie, this game would have such better discourse surrounding it. The bones of the gameplay are resoundingly solid.

Setting up a podium for people to read poems is now terrorism.

Andy Burnham can stop this.

He isn't.

[Gazorpazorpfield @CSUnderstander]

But I thought these people were bringing terror to London ? Why are the Met Police saying these crimes diverted officers from serious crimes. Isn’t it their entire position that these are serious enough offences to be designated as support for terrorism?

[enter shakira𓅮 @BARFJAMiN]

if you took 6,000 calls for missing children, sexual assaults and violent attacks, maybe your officers shouldn’t be pissing around arresting people for victimless non-crimes when there’s real crime with real victims happening on the streets of london? just an idea

As Europe suffers damaging wildfires and catastrophic drought made worse by fossil fuel pollution, Shell announces $9.8 billion (£7.34bn) in Q2 profits.

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

I can’t believe these arrests are still happening - the new PM could end this utterly absurd proscription if he chose.
As @jonathonporritt says - trying to save lives is not terrorism. Exposing this government’s complicity in genocide is not terrorism

[Mark Seddon @MarkSeddon1962]

Can Andy Burnham not see the crass stupidity of this noxious piece of legislation? 'Sir Jonathon Porritt is a prominent British environmentalist, writer, and sustainability advocate who served as a key environmental adviser to the then Prince Charles'.

Angela Rayner has forced through plans to build a controversial data centre on the site of a 360-year-old brewery in east London despite a local backlash.

@PippaCrerar Any Journalist capable of reporting on Burnham allowing the US to bomb Iran from our bases? Reports on Iran concluding that British Bases are valid target because Labour cant say no to America’s wars? More relevant than theoretical policy, or am I using journalist too liberally?

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: For the first time since the start of the war, Iran’s IRGC announces the complete destruction of 3 F-35 fighter jets and significant damage to 3 others at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, through multiple ballistic missiles targeting the deployment ramp and maintenance hangar this morning, per Tasnim. Iran had not previously announced the destruction of an F-35.

The IRGC adds several US officers and maintenance personnel were also killed at the base.

The strike comes in response to a US strike on 2 residential homes on Qeshm Island earlier this morning, killing a father, mother, and their 2-year-old child, and injuring 2 other children.

NEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court.

As police escorted him away he said "I am a supporter of Palestine Action, trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism."

@alexwickham Any reporting on Burnham allowing the US to bomb Iran from our bases? Reports on Iran concluding that British bases are valid target because Labour can’t say no to America’s wars?

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

It is within the Prime Ministers power to scrap this proscription and end these dystopian scenes for good.

There is simply no excuse in a democracy for a crackdown in support for protest groups like this.

[Martin Williams @martinrw]

Apparently reindustrialisation means spending vast amounts of taxpayers' money making something that we should never use and almost certainly won't ever use, but which might kill us all anyway.

As the saying goes, be open-minded, but not so open-minded that your brains fall out.

“Just one more thing, Mr. Farage. If you think that the image Zack Polanski reposted was so dangerous, why did you share it with your 2.3 million followers?”

65% of the British public want the NHS to drop its contract with Palantir.

They try to paint us an a minority - when it is Palantir who are swimming against the tide of public opinion.

@meganekenyon @daisyeastlake Any reporting on Burnham allowing the US to bomb Iran from our bases? How Iran are concluding that British bases are valid target because Labour can’t say no to America’s wars? I feel like your readers would appreciate that context
