Thanks v much for sharing this & your deep reflections on what was such a difficult encounter. It made me angry & sad, & reflective too about so much. Your final thoughts are v kind, acknowledging everyone is on their journey of understanding, I’m just sorry it was so pointed at that moment

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

I worry about Reform being able to run social care services - staffing care homes, making sure elderly & vulnerable adults & children’s basic needs are met

“Everyone thought we’d come in and there were going to be these huge costs we could cut away but there just aren’t,” said a third senior Reform cabinet member in Kent.

Apple caved to the Trump DOJ and removed the anti-ICE apps from its App Store. Cowardice.

So very sorry to hear that the lovely Dame Jane Goodall has died. She was a charming, hugely intelligent person who achieved so much both in science and in teaching us to think about our world. A sad, sad loss.

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 7d

For the first time ever, London has met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.

When I became Mayor, we were told it would take 193 years. We did it 184 years earlier than expected.

Cleaner air means a healthier city and big savings for the NHS.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔

(Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Not sure how vegan friendly this haven’t been for a few years - but I think you can go for a drink- the view is world class - or you can just get some beers and sit on the walkway round Tigné Point and watch the sun go down. Love Malta too, got to know it a bit when my son lived there.

They should go to the Chop House in Sliema for a drink / meal if they can - it looks unassuming from outside but has the most magnificent view of Valletta lit up at night over the water

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.
