The EU has provided the first €10 million for a Special Tribunal to ensure Russian war criminals don’t escape justice.

EU Foreign Affairs head Kaja Kallas: “The evidence of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is plain to see.
Unpunished crimes only encourage new atrocities.”

The number of homicides in London in the first nine months of 2025 was lower than in any year since monthly records began in 2003.

That is thanks to the intelligence-led enforcement, vital prevention work led by my VRU & MOPAC's pioneering efforts to tackle reoffending.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

I find this very touching…& also worrying. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social has been an absolutely essential guide to this era. And if he thinks I’m right then we’re in more trouble than we realise

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty.

If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐

There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Wrote about the temptation to put Gaza on the back burner now that the ceasefire is solidifying—and why we can't let that happen. Gaza still needs you, and me, and everyone to fight until real Palestinian liberation is won. www.discourseblog.com/p/gaza-still...

So sorry to learn you’re going through such behaviour. Be assured anyone with sense would not believe it. Anyone who does, well they’re hardly worth bothering about.

"The email, released by The Sun on Sunday, conflicts with an interview the Duke of York gave to the BBC stating that he had ceased contact with the convicted child sex offender by Feb. 28, 2011, when the photo of him, Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell was first made public." #EpsteinFiles

Newly revealed emails between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein show Andrew saying "we are in this together" after an infamous photo of him with teenage abuse victim Virginia Giuffre was first published in 2001. The Sun's editor urged him to leave Britain.

Israel has banned Palestinians from celebrating the release of Palestinian prisoners [hostages] & banned their families from giving interviews

Contrast that with the celebrations around the release of Israeli hostages & the many interviews being broadcast around the world.

One of the things I love about London is how inconquerable it is. There's just too much of it to ever believe you'll discover it all. I first stumbled on this mosaic a few months ago, about a minute's walk from the flat I've lived in for 8 years.
