I’m sorry to say that two more people have drowned in the Channel today.

Literally a couple of days since baby Maryam died too.

And I’m sorry to say that the Home Office under Labour is repeating the EXACT same lies as the Tories did about it.

I’m doing the sleepout at #simonsbigsleepout tonight. Got my @leedsucu hat on to keep me warm. I know times are hard, but if anyone can sponsor me for Simon on the Streets, please do https://t.co/zSIbryuwD2

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

After almost 4 months of encampment, the student Palestine encampment in Dortmund were forced by German police to take down the camp and leave, and police said they would arrest me if I went there. All this just because the students had invited me to speak at their event and I had been to a pro Palestine protest in Berlin the day before that police has stormed. 1/2

General election in #Austria: For the first time, the far-right FPÖ wins a relative majority. The center-right ÖVP comes in second place.

Bad result for the social democratic SPÖ - they have never been only at third place. Greens lose heavily. Liberals stable. #NRW24 🇦🇹 (1/2)

[Brendan May @bmay]

Liz Truss has now found her final refuge in right wing Australian television. She is completely insane. I cannot think of a worse export in all of our history.

Important report from @PolicyCommunity to contextualise the riots.

@aurelmondon and I contributed a short piece on the media, examining how uncritical coverage feeds into mainstreaming. We outline four key trends: exceptionalisation, amplification, deflection & euphemisation. 🧵
