Highly disturbing developments in Georgia, where the govt is trying to pass a law modeled on legislation passed in Russia and other autocracies designed to undermine NGOs and civil society. (PS, as an aside, I wonder when the Tories might be tempted to do the same in the UK ☹️).

Why the **** are the Conservatives allowed to put a slogan in their candidates box and no-one else is?

Electoral Commission can you do your job and stop this cheating?

I have a sick kid at home, which has distracted me from the campaign recently, but if we can reach £2,000 this week, Nabil can try to get two family members safely out!!! I will keep volunteering for every £100 raised. Please, please share and support if you can. Every £ helps🙏

alexandra hall hall 🇺🇦🌻 ❤️An appeal to all who follow Alex please give to this fundraiser. If each one of you gave £1 it will help evacuate the whole family. Not asking much for your humanity❤️

BREAKING: Senator Roger Wicker and 80 more senators and representatives are calling on Blinken to give Vladimir Kara-Murza the status of “wrongfully detained” under the Levenson Act so the US uses all of it’s resources to free him. It make no sense that the US is dragging it feet

Is this parody, or actually a genuine extract from her book? Delusional fails to describe it. Rosie Holt has stiff competition here!

The decimation of BBC investigative journalism proceeds apace

I’m no fan of Netanyahu, v critical of conduct of war in Gaza, and anxious as anyone to avoid full blown conflict between Iran and Israel; but this analysis is disingenuous; Iran has been using its proxies to attack Israel for months. On this, I stand with Israel.

'Incorrect' is when you misspell someone's name.

What Julia means is that on this particular occasion her attempt to use a horrible incident thousands of miles away about which she (and us) knew nothing in order to stir up racism, hatred and division backfired.

Whose “freedom”, at whose cost?

😡😡😡😡😡

J'accuse Cameron, May, Johnson, Corbyn, Sunak, the whole damn stupid rotten lot of them.

You utter hypocrite! You’re the one blocking aid!!! You! You! One person, the blood of allies fighting for the values you claim to cherish entirely on YOUR hands. Quite the thing, to be so uniquely responsible for other people’s deaths. How you live with yourself, I can’t imagine

This tweet is an extraordinary exhibition of dishonesty: It is Mike Johnson who has appeased Russia and Iran for many months, by refusing to allow the House to vote on a bill that could provide weapons to defend against both of them.
