Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package.
Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage?
Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.
This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

More useless tinkering announced by the government today around the asylum system.
No one in their right mind thinks this latest tedious rehash is going to turn the dial. We need radical change.

One other 7/7 thread today. Because I think how the bus network got running again is a real testament to some serious heroes that day:
The bus drivers and staff who got that network running again and got London home that night.
And TfL/the Mayor disobeyed the Security Services to make it happen /1

Remember how they lied about Brexit? Unsurprisingly, they're lying about ECHR too.

Should we follow Putin out of the ECHR?
Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

An HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence.
We need to share the good news that treatment will prevent AIDS.
We must challenge fear by ensuring that everyone knows effective treatment means we can’t pass HIV on to our sexual partners (#UequalsU).

Free speech latest.
An immigration judge within the Trump DOJ has denied bond to Rumeysa Ozturk, saying she’s a “danger and flight risk.”
Her “crime” is cowriting an op-ed urging her school to follow student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

So the Prima Facie mailing list is pretty rubbish. Saw on instagram a week ago that there was a UK tour and tickets on sale today. Mailing list 'announced' to me last night. Apparently had access to a Richmond pre-sale but no link or code or any way of getting to it. Pointless.

I had a similar experience. It was mad. Never seen anything like it.
Just watched tickets for Prima Facie disappear before my eyes! Have ended up with Tuesday night tickets, instead of Saturday and not great seats 🤣 #primafacie #ticketmaster
