On last week's #BBCQT Reform UK’s Robert Kenyon said his party would stop “1,000 people coming in a day” to the UK by small boat.
How many migrants arrive each day by small boat? We’ve looked at the figures 🔎

What really unsettles critics isn't the shirt.
It's the idea that Palestinians might have a leader capable of uniting their people and leading the fight for liberation from apartheid the same way Nelson Mandela did.

Sarah Wakefield responds to the Palestine Solidarity Campaigns letter stating:
“Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Every politician who sincerely believes in human rights, international law, and the sanctity of human life should be able to say the same.”
Ahead of the Makerfield parliamentary by-election on 18 June, we have written to the candidates to ask what they will do to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people if they are elected to Parliament.
We will publish any responses we receive.

Reform UK is sabotaging LGBT communities across Britain: defunding Pride festivals, cutting community group funding & banning Pride flags
Now the Reform UK council in Essex is banning libraries from promoting LGBT events
Reform UK is a threat to LGBTs

The pretence that you are holding these awful people to account while continually platforming them & their hateful divisive politics makes the BBC slightly more vomit inducing than Reform . That’s quite an accomplishment.

After criticising Reform UK for ignoring the wishes of Henry Nowak's family and politicising the death of Henry Nowak
#BBCLauraK gives Muhammad Ziauddin Yusuf a solid 8 minutes to argue against Henry Nowak's family's wishes
Then a further 2.5 minutes to criticise the police and the Sikh tradition of carrying ceremonial knives, stoking even further division in society

“At the autumn budget, the chancellor announced the ‘final tranche’ of public funds for the Lower Thames Crossing. Yet now we find out that the DfT have bunged another £174m towards this privatised road project, whilst refusing to publish the outline business case." - TAN👇🏼
Extra £174m earmarked for ‘spiralling’ bill for Lower Thames Crossing!

Is she actually telling the father of Henry Nowak that he is desperate to avoid facing up to "how it happened" ?
I think people like Isabel are the lowest of the low and my heart breaks for Henry's family.

Labour promised change. Labour promised action. Labour promised that the country would heal. But 300 people died every week in 2025 due to long A&E waits. This is not a national health crisis. This is a national health apocalypse.

The idea of the enlightened billionaire is over. The naked drive for power and profit is now clear. We must choose. We either live with powermongers driving conflict and greed for their own benefit, or we can have a politics of care. Your choice?

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.
Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.
Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."
Free Marwan.

Mysterious ‘cold blob’ in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening
A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water “conveyor belt” in the Atlantic is slowing down

Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.
This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.
This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.
Jun 7
🚨BREAKING: Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and halted the entry of humanitarian aid following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, cutting off supplies to roughly 2 million Palestinians in the territory.
Israel has imposed similar blanket closures during previous periods of regional escalation, including immediately after the outbreak of war in late February, collectively punishing Gaza’s civilian population.

A return to full-scale conflict between Israel and Iran will endanger countless lives, worsen humanitarian crises, and risk dragging the entire region into renewed instability. The pathway to peace will be achieved through diplomacy and deescalation, not yet more bloodshed.
