"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 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.

Obviously a slip of the tongue, but I think “she champions the erosion of women’s rights” might be the first honest thing a supporter of JK Rowling has ever said about her.

This is genuinely incredible.

It's so easy to completely lose one's cool in the face of silly arguments like this, but @zackpolanski.bsky.social kept his wits and made the only sensible and grown up points in the room.

How do the Greens get cooler every time I see them 💚

The real blockers are the water profiteers – and Labour won’t touch them because it’s in bed with the lobbyists.

Ex-MPs like Angela Smith went from defending water firms to working for them. Current ministers have backgrounds in water lobbying.

Who do you think you’re fooling?

Keir Starmer tweet:

@Keir_Starmer • 1d
National renewal means more homes, more jobs, and more money back in working people's pockets.
But to get there, we need to take on the blockers…

The government says it is “driving forward private finance efforts for Gaza's reconstruction.”

As if enabling a genocide wasn't enough. Now, they are allowing private companies to make some money out of it as well.

Have they no shame?

Trump wants to DOUBLE Argentina's bailout to $40 billion to save his political ally.

Yet he is doing nothing to prevent 15 million Americans from losing their health care and 20 million from seeing a doubling in their premiums.

Is this what Trump means by America first?

Zack, I'm so proud of what you're doing for the Greens. My first campaign was Caroline's in 2010. She was the perfect leader for then and you are the perfect leader for now. Thank you.

We are not who we are taught to believe we are. Putting all the blame on trump makes no sense. I protest the very existence of america&all its allies. Why is anyone surprised by what trump is doing here? Or truly believe the democrats wouldn't also do it all too??!!

Our media are actually less honest than Israeli media. Israeli government ministers & officials have been regularly quoted/broadcast calling for genocide and gross human rights violations, but our media largely ignores that.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.
