Its time someone spoke out for journalists in Gaza, Starmer could have done , Farage could have done, Badenoch could have Done. Polanski did

"Covering a war means going to places torn by chaos, destruction and death... It means trying to find the truth in a sandstorm of propaganda" - the late Marie Colvin.

Truth is the cornerstone of justice. Without it we can't start to hold those responsible to account. Let journalists into Gaza.

The Green Party of England & Wales @greenparty.org.uk · 8h

The Rafah crossing is expected to re-open.

Alongside the desperately needed aid, journalists must be allowed into Gaza.

Over 200 journalists have been killed in Gaza - but the crimes of the Israeli government and military must not go undocumented.

Let the journalists in.

Hopefully Netanyahu will recover from his inconvenient bronchitis to be fit and healthy to serve many of the decades in prison that await him.

Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 8h

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

Standard of journalism in BBC News headline about Yaxley-Lenon arrest seems to have been poor and misleading. I wonder why?

European Movement in Scotland @euromovescotland.bsky.social · 1d

Tommy Robinson police stop unlawful, court hears. Headline on BBC News web site. This is wholly misleading. It was Robinson's lawyer who said the stop was unlawful, not the court. The court will rule on the case on 4th November.
