Family man, looking for news the media won’t print and uplifting tweets. Worried about the #foreverplague, the UK govt, cost of living, AI and climate change

Quite an opening to tonight's #c4news

I learned something new today. 🐶

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The Supreme Court has ruled that under UK law, trans people never had the rights people like you insisted they had. You misrepresented the law and cheered on the removal of women’s rights. Trans people have lost nothing except the mistaken belief you fostered.

The #UAE ranks among the world’s top 10 in the 2025 Global Soft Power Index, underscoring its expanding global impact.🇦🇪

مع بداية عام جديد، نجدد العزم على مواصلة مسيرة دولة الإمارات في البناء والتنمية، مستلهمين رؤية قيادتنا الرشيدة التي جعلت الإنسان محور التقدم، ونسأل الله أن يكون عاماً يحمل الخير والاستقرار لبلادنا، ويعزز قيم السلام والتعاون بين شعوب العالم.

[محمد بن زايد @MohamedBinZayed]

في العام الجديد تتجدد آمالنا وطموحاتنا في غد أفضل، ويزيد عزمنا وإصرارنا على مواصلة مسيرة التقدم والازدهار لبلادنا وبناء المستقبل المشرق لشعبنا. أدعو الله تعالى أن يكون 2026 عام خير وتنمية في دولة الإمارات، وسلام واستقرار وتعاون في العالم أجمع.

Five years ago today and my only regret is that I didn't speak out sooner. To every girl and woman who's paid a heavy price for fighting to retain their rights and boundaries, to every person striving to halt an appalling medical experiment on minors, I salute you. We will win.

Mariupol’s drama theater – destroyed while hundreds of civilians sheltered in the basement – was one of the main symbols of the destruction Russia wrought in its initial invasion of Ukraine.

Today, occupying authorities reopened it with a performance of a Russian fairytale.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services.

Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt.

While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn.

That's how privatisation 'works'.

I want my daughters to live in a country where their right to single-sex spaces isn’t under attack from their own government.

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"I've seen for myself the huge number of beads at Camber Sands today, and without urgent action this has the potential to be an environmental catastrophe."

Appears there's at least one local MP prepared to confront @SouthernWater and demand satisfaction.

Well done @helenadollimore impressive stuff. 👏👏👏

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Banger 🎯😂

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Interestingly, if you dump a tonne of sewage into the sea, you get a knighthood and a tidy profit.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

When this madness ends, which it will, one of the ugliest things to look back on will be how women weren't even allowed to the dignity of owning their sex-specific trauma. The misogyny is simply breathtaking.

“censorship in the service of the cultural elite…”

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

Another zinger from @jo_bartosch:
"...within hours of the vote closing, the library’s LGBT+ staff network started to stamp their feet. With a wibbling lip, members declared the book ‘explicitly exclusionary’ & warned it could cause ‘severe harm to staff."

Did you know? Black holes are the simplest objects in science - they’re built from nothing more than space & time. I’m giving away 5 signed copies of my paperback A CRACK IN EVERYTHING to a UK person chosen randomly from those retweeting this https://t.co/UN37SE6yGB

Remember the part about "shooting the messenger"? This is a real Third World, Russian or North Korean propaganda move.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen Don. You don't get to burn down the house.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

اطلعت اليوم على بيانات النصف الأول من العام الجاري للتجارة الخارجية غير النفطية لدولة الإمارات.. وبحمدالله حققت نمواً كبيراً بلغ 24% مقارنة مع النصف الأول من العام السابق .. في حين بلغ متوسط نمو التجارة العالمية ما يقارب 1.75% فقط..

وبلغت تجارتنا الخارجية غير النفطية بالأرقام 1.7 تريليون درهم في النصف الأول (ضعف الأرقام قبل 5 سنوات فقط)

وقفزت تجارتنا غير النفطية مع شركائنا الدوليين بمعدل قياسي في النصف الأول من 2025.. بلغ 120% مع سويسرا .. و33% مع الهند .. و41% مع تركيا .. و29% مع الولايات المتحدة .. و15% مع الصين.

الأرقام تتحدث عن علاقاتنا الاقتصادية مع العالم ..

الأرقام تتحدث عن تنمية غير مسبوقة لدولة الإمارات يقودها أخي محمد بن زايد حفظه الله ..

الأرقام تقول إن القادم أجمل وأعظم باذن الله 🇦🇪.

What a slog this has been for Sandie. If anyone wonders why more women don't speak up, you only have to think of the near-literal witch trial that follows. How many more women will have to subject themselves to character assassination before we get our rights?
