The irony of a crowd of mostly men claiming they are protesting to protect women and girls, while the opposing crowd is literally made up of women and girls protesting against them. 😂

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.
Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.
Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

Israel’s efforts to influence the vote for the Eurovision Song Contest were broader and started years earlier than previously known, a New York Times investigation found. Here is the inside story of the controversy that almost broke Eurovision. nyti.ms/42ZR43z

We stand with the Allianz6 against this disgraceful lawfare and abuse of the courts to effectively destroy the lives of activists speaking out against corporate complicity in the Gaza genocide.

MPs are back in Parliament tomorrow.
Make sure they speak out so we can rip up the EHRC's transphobic guidance once and for all.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data.
This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide.
We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!
About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!
It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?

Starmer just announced 'full national ownership' of British Steel.
Labour are bringing emergency legislation, because 'public ownership is in the public interest'
So this government CAN nationalise. And they can do it quickly.
Why, then, are we not announcing emergency legislation to bring our water into public ownership? 🧐

The only news group who consistently held Farage and Reform UK to account BEFORE the elections were @BylineTimes
Give them a follow, and consider a monthly subscription (I get their hard copy monthly and love it)

TV presenter to Farage
"You promised local council tax cuts"
"I never said that"
"Here is a film of you saying it"
"I never said that"
"The film clearly shows you saying it"
"Can we move on now?"
"Here is one of your leaflets where you say it"
"Next question"
