Is this how we should work?

Why is @bbcr4today ***OBSESSED*** with trying to get Government ministers to come out with condemnations of the US President? Defence Secretary yesterday, Chief Secretary today. Just stop it, it's not in anybody's interest but journalists looking for a "scoop"

It really adds an additional dimension to having your rights challenged when the challenger is wearing Easter bunny ears 🐰🐣

@GWRHelp, I was ramp boarded at Oxford 20 mins ago by a staff member who chastised me & other wheelchair user for “not checking in with [her]” …

Times leader-writers are so keen to diss the government every day, they don’t read their own paper.The Business pages lead with a survey showing business optimism for 2025. Doesn’t fit the story, so ignored.The Times view on trust in Labour: Empty Vessel?

It’s impossible to have any understanding of British politics without constantly referencing how right wing and hypocritical the media is here:

Can't recall the same headline - or Conservative Party complaints- when (to take just one of so many, many examples) Sir Gavin Williamson got his gong.

New Taliban rule:

Women are no longer allowed to be visible from house windows under any circumstance. If the kitchen has a window, women can't even cook near it.

This comes after other rulings that women are forbidden from making sounds or even speaking to each other.

Don't mess with the Finns is probably the soundest piece of geopolitical advice one could ever give to Putin 🇫🇮

Thread: Russia's version of multipolarity, tested by the downing of an Azerbaijani plane. 1/9 The incident with the downed Azerbaijani flight is a stark illustration of what "multipolarity" means in the Russian worldview:

Inhuman is appropriate; in the last 12 months alone Russia has deliberately targeted a children's hospital in the middle of Kyiv, conducted a systematic campaign of chemical warfare, and has executed over a hundred Ukrainian prisoners of war.

This was quick. A deal is reached to merge all armed factions under the new Syrian ministry of defense.

Hard to overstate how this would’ve been *impossible* under international supervision or any scenario in 2012-2016.

Many things are happening smoothly coz this is organic.

This is Oleksandr Yakushchenko, a boy forcibly taken from an orphanage in occupied Kherson and relocated to #Russia. He took his own life in Krasnodar Krai. His body was discovered several kilometers from his foster family’s home, next to a disassembled phone wiped of data. According to journalists, shortly before his death, Oleksandr confided to acquaintances that he felt utterly unwanted. The deportation of children, followed by their re-education against Ukraine and the erasure of their identity, is a crime bearing the hallmarks of #Genocide

Farewell to one of the great superstars @BBCNews- what a complete idiot Tim Davie has been to make her feel that her best option was to leave...
