Why is trade union membership special category data under UK #GDPR? Surely such discrimination no longer happens here… oh wait.

Action Alert: Complain to OFCOM about GB News - Muslim Engagement and Development
GB News recently aired a segment where it was claimed that some Pakistani men celebrate Eid by “inviting families round to rape white women.”
GB ‘News’ propaganda hits a new low. Disgusting islamophobia. Complaint submitted.

Absolutely shameful article. Using the recent death of a London student murdered by another London student to push the anti-immigrant narrative. Leicester’s diversity is its strength. Maybe look at 15 years of austerity as to why there’s crime.

Two of our Iranian foodbank volunteers yesterday had both lost people in the massacres. Looking at the photos was heartbreaking.
Keep talking about Iran

Reform Party UK sharing Pro-ICE posts on social media. They support seizing 5 year olds as bait, and the extra judicial murder of civilians.

Memo about FOI from Jonathan Powell, chief of staff, to Blair: “This is becoming a real problem”.
The prime minister writing in reply: “What is the solution?! I need a recommendation”.
New releases from the National Archives of government records from 2005 show how ministers and officials reacted uneasily to the implementation of FOI, and how they handled some initial cases - "This is becoming a real problem". What I found in the files: rosenbaum6.substack.com/p/tony-we-ha...

Awful news today that wonderful Cllr Manjula Sood has died and the city has lost an amazing public servant & leader, and many of us have lost an inspiration and a friend. She was one of the few people who came to my wedding. Some lovely memories, but am feeling very sad right now.

Labour announcing wide-ranging NHS support for care leavers… this is brilliant. Kids in care need so much more help. 👏

The government says it's not planning to extend FOI to cover Electoral Returning Officers. However, the forthcoming elections legislation will be a good opportunity to raise this issue further and for someone to propose an amendment to change this.
