In eight years of bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the UK says it has killed precisely one civilian. Two years ago I started looking for them. While searching for a victim, Emma Graham-Harrison and I uncovered a mystery. A brief thread of our findings: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a…

Exceptional work by the Airwars team documenting reported civilian harm in Ukraine from the 79-day Battle of Kharkiv and surrounding areas, following Russia's invasion last year. Their all-source model is both pretty unique - and also compelling in its consistency and authority.

🏳️‍🌈Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, has said “sorry” to the LGBT+ community for his force’s past homophobic persecution. He's the first UK police chief to apologise. The RVT welcomes this apology which Paul O’Grady and Peter Tatchell campaigned fervently for.

The latest section of London's newest open space just opened, a pedestrian linear park linking Vauxhall and Battersea through the new skyscrapers. Impressed at the maturity of the greenery!

50 years ago as a schoolkid, I volunteered at the glorious Penrhos Reserve on Anglesey/Yns Mon, forging a lifelong love of nature. Now there are plans to destroy it in an act of greed-driven vandalism. Please sign so Senedd Cymru will debate this issue. petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/2454…

I resigned my membership of The Labour Party this morning in protest at the leadership's continued refusal to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Keir Starmer is woefully out of touch with his members, and with national and international opinion.

As predictable as the first cuckoo of Spring, news of Virgin Media ❤️'s grotesque annual price hike. Almost 9% this year, for a generally mediocre service. The company's name is mud in my neighbourhood. Biggest topic on community chat today? Who to dump Virgin for.

📖The Lost Families of Gaza - a special project from The Times and The Sunday Times. Over 1,800 families have lost multiple members in the past six months. We worked with Airwars to name 161 of those families, and who they lost in the war. 1/12🧵thetimes.co.uk/article/three-…

If reports are true that trailblazing Black MP Diane Abbott will be blocked by The Labour Party from standing again in Hackney, it will cause terminal damage to the party. Keir Starmer's contempt for the left and centre of his own party appears bottomless.

One of biggest mobilisations ever seen in UK is expected! Our rivers are choking on pollution, we’re losing our precious woodlands, our seas are overfished & our peat bogs are being burned. Pledge to march with me on June 22nd in London. RestoreNatureNow.com #RestoreNatureNow

From Missy Ryan. Top Pentagon general Charles Q Brown struggled with civilian harm issues in his time battling ISIS. Now he struggles to convince Israel to use greater restraint against Hamas [article suggests I'm still with Airwars. I'm not, of course] washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Breaking Twitter silence, as today is 10 years exactly since @Airwars was founded. Congrats to all present and past on the team, for working so hard to chronicle and reduce civilian harm in some of the world's worst conflicts. Everything you do makes a positive difference 💓
