President Donald Trump claimed the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was intentionally vandalized and said law enforcement is actively investigating, as the administration has scrambled to fix the pool's recent deterioration just days after Trump's nearly $15 million renovation. https://t.co/xjYJWrFjXe
This evening, survivors, their families and this community once again walked silently through the streets around Grenfell Tower. They will never stop fighting for justice.
They marked the ninth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire - and the lives of the 72 people who died.
Despite the ongoing work to deconstruct the building, it remains a monument to this country’s housing inequalities - where people continue to be forced to live in unsafe homes. Governments failed to make the tragedy a turning point for Britain’s housing crisis.
It is truly shameful that no one has been held to account - including those in corporations, local government and national government.
We stand with survivors fighting for truth and justice - and to ensure those responsible are held to account.
In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.
This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.
I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Elon Musk sees a future where AI replaces HALF of all jobs.
If he’s right, our country’s wealth could get sucked up by a handful of billionaires while workers get left behind.
We need to tax AI so Americans share in its growth—and Big Tech pays for the disruption it causes.
The world Cup has started with an opening ceremony in Mexico, as presumably they couldn't guarantee a flag-bearer from every country making it through US immigration
🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists
Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.
It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.
The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.
Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.
The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.
Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.
Read our position:
Criminal Damage, Direct Action, Terrorism: Misuse of counter-terrorism powers in the UK: https://t.co/TqQ4cHnoeb
A judge has sentenced the Filton 4 as terrorists, behind the back of the jury, who only ever considered charges of criminal damage.
This grotesque distortion of the law tightens the screws on the public’s right to protest, placing more limits on our freedom to fight injustice.
"Feargal Sharkey brands '£100billion' cost of nationalising water 'nonsense'."
And that is because it is nonsense, pure unadulterated, made up nonsense.

The call for public ownership of the water industry is growing louder everyday.
Why are govt refusing a referendum, why are govt refusing to allow the public to decide?

Palantir's co-founder claimed "the NHS makes people sick".
Yet this US tech giant now runs the NHS data platform.
There are serious concerns about its access to patient data and human rights record.
The Government should use the break clause to kick Palantir out of our NHS.
