Polls are open! Don’t forget to exercise your hard won right to have a say. 🗳️

Would be a very good idea for 'senior figures' to knock this on the head quickly.

Terrible decision by LBC LBCNews. Sangita Myska is an exceptional broadcaster and journalist and her programme was a must listen. As for the optics of today’s announcement, it’s hard to imagine any explanations that speak well for those in charge

Unbearable. Also… Application rejected because “Basra is safe”. Meanwhile over on the foreign Office website: “WARNING: FCDO advises against all travel to parts of Iraq”

That the Tories chose this candidate for London Mayor speaks volumes about where the party is now and its direction of travel, ever further into the politics of hatred theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Cheering on Stacy Hart & the other brilliant Women's Equality Party candidates.

If you want to find something in this to disagree with, you will, but it's a valuable corrective to the worst of the reporting on the campus protests nytimes.com/2024/04/26/opi…

Amused to see @[email protected] describe Ben Bradshaw as 'Westminster's answer to Hugh Grant'. Not because she's wrong, but because I took this photo theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…. Perhaps Hugh Grant took the second photo...

Everything about the Rwanda “plan“ is wrong.

Just arrived back in the UK to the swirling rumours re Sangita Myska. Hope they’re not true, but glad to see such an outpouring love of love for her and her journalism

Why is Ofcom letting GB News off the hook? By Dorothy Byrne searchlightmagazine.com/2024/04/why-is…

Sometimes storms boil up from a clear sky. Others you see coming. And still people are ignoring this approaching disaster, minimising it, pretending business as usual or even getting close to populists to further other agendas theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Grant Shapps: “Hold my beer”

Spectacular launch & so excited to read Bee Rowlatt’s book #OneWomanCrimeWave

The Covid era drinks fridge still in use

● Rwanda is not a safe country - not my opinion but the opinion of the Supreme Court
● The policy is going to cost hundreds of millions and it won't stop the boats
● We are not 'full'
● The crisis has been created by this government because there are no safe routes

So the Rwanda bill becomes law, with Britain now an inspiration to the extreme right in Europe while undermining the rule of law at home.
Legislating that Ruanda is a safe country after the Supreme Court stated it is not, remains a dangerous precedent.

EXCL: Fire service bosses in Shropshire talked about wanting to 'kill' and harm female colleagues.

Leaked messages we’ve obtained refer to women as “lazy cow”, “feckin bint” and “useless”.

“I could still kill her buddy”, said the Chief about one woman.
