I was born & raised on a London Council estate. I couldn’t afford to stay in London, so had to leave. But I’m not stupid enough to blame Migration. Thatcher sold our housing and greedy landlords profiteered from it.

‘What disturbs you the most about the Glastonbury chants?’ ‘They get more attention than the genocide of Gazans.’ Journalist rachel shabi, who is Jewish, weighs in on the fallout of Bob Vylan’s controversial performance.

Pleased to join thousands of others in signing letter to protest the conflation of protest with terrorism. Proscribing Palestine Action would set hugely dangerous precedent, underplay the dangers of genuine terrorism & undermine right to peaceful protest theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

Acyn I love how in #MAGA mythology, Biden can barely complete a sentence but simultaneously masterminds elaborate decades-long conspiracies involving private flight logs, international sex trafficking rings and photoshopping all those pictures of Trump in Epstein's living room.

Come on Laura - stop letting Farage get away with grotesque lies on #climate - the green economy is growing 3 times faster than rest of the economy. The green transition is in our *economic interests* & it’s Farage who’ll de-industrialise the UK, not green policy #bbclaurak

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura

The call to exit the ECHR is deeply alarming for social care and social work. This isn’t about cherry picking laws to fit political or societal agendas, it’s about protecting fundamental safeguards. The ECHR serves as a critical safety net, shielding against discrimination,

Republicans against Trump Imagine being so allergic to accountability you fire reality.

Can someone explain to me how violent crime being at a 30-year low in Washington DC amounts to an "emergency" and requires Trump to take over the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and send the National Guard into DC? Waiting for an answer that makes sense

Oh come on. Saying you wouldn’t want daughters living near “men from backward countries who broke into Britain illegally & about whom we know next to nothing” is an exact definition of xenophobia - ie fear/hatred of foreigners. It’s right to call it out theguardian.com/media/2025/aug…

Wow. Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.

BREAKING: The conservative Wall Street Journal Editorial Board just issued a SCATHING op-ed detailing how Trump failed to get any concessions from Putin while Putin managed to play Trump like a fiddle to get what he wanted: “It was notable that Mr. Putin spent most of his

Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from now, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

NB The Farage who says he fears a “genuine threat to public order” is the same Farage who is doing all he can to whip up exactly that. He’s already wrecked our economy with Brexit - allowing him to do the same with the human rights which protect *all* of us would be unforgivable

What has the ECHR ever done for us? Quite a lot actually, and we wrote it too.

Why isn’t this headline news? The implications are horrifying … theguardian.com/environment/20…
