Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAISharifo • Translated by Grok Relentless bombardment... For two hours, the Israeli aggression has intensified on Gaza City. [video of an missile exploding in the darkness]

@AnasAlSharifo A To Whom It May Concern, The occupation is now openly threatening a full-scale invasion of Gaza. For 22 months, the city has been bleeding under relentless bombardment from land, sea, and air. Tens of thousands have been killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded. If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people's voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop. Please share this message and tag everyone who has the power to help end this massacre. Silence is complicity.

⚠️ Israel killed prominent Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif in Gaza.

A tent housing journalists outside of Al-Shifa Hospital was targeted.

He was reporting until the moment of his death.

The final words of one of his last messages were a plea to people to speak out:

“Silence is complicity.”

It is quite something to see much of what was once the mainstream right predicting, hoping for, braying for “revolt/revolution”.

Your regular reminder that the BBC should never have cancelled The Mash Report:

Covering Reform (and holding them to account) is a very important job for all political reporters in 2025

But I do believe it’s also an important responsibility to roughly reflect the actual makeup of Parliament in our coverage – it’s something I at least *try* to do in my own reporting

Nick Tenconi. Leader of UKIP, last Friday. I have intentionally slowed the clip to demonstrate exactly what he is doing, to avoid any confusion. This sort of thing has become more normalised in so-called Western democracies. Whilst demonstrating against genocide, can get you arrested.

Joint leaders’ statement on Peace for Ukraine Statement by President Macron, Prime Minister Meloni, Chancellor Merz, Prime Minister Tusk, Prime Minister Starmer, President von der Leyen and President Stubb on Peace for Ukraine ahead of President ...

The leaders of France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Finland, Poland & the EU have issued a joint statement on Ukraine ahead of the meeting between the Presidents of Russia & the US.

They are clear on the combined need for diplomacy, support for Ukraine & pressure on Russia as the way to get peace.

We have a one-in-a-million #FeelGoodFriday post for you this week... 🤩

Alder Hey has developed a life-saving new treatment for a rare condition called Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation (VGAM), which affects just one in a million children.

Lib Dem leader @EdwardJDavey accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

“Netanyahu's plans to occupy the whole of Gaza are utterly abhorrent - and it's increasingly clear that his goal is ethnic cleansing.”

MP claims Surrey Care home is a “hot bed of terrorist activity” filled with Palestine Action supporters.

Big thanks to Lewis for debunking the dangerous misinformation going around about nationality and sexual assault statistics. Bottom line - the big headlines over the last few days have no basis in the facts. Irresponsible reporting from major news outlets stirring up fear.

This email I received after I was on Newsnight pointing out how extreme and misinformed people are about immigration is quite something.

To move from ‘I’m a pacifist’ to ‘let’s be at war with France’ in just a few lines is impressive.

Legally, there isn't the slightest basis to the complaint, even on the most extreme possible interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement. A shop floor is not a single sex space, regardless of whether they sell bras or not. This is just hatred and spite, unleashed.

Last December view 🥰

Nigel Farage says he has never worked in a prison so he is unable to answer a question on prison policy. On that basis he will have no views on health, defence, culture, energy, education, farming, transport, law… or anything other than lying and grifting.

And what do men owe women?

Respect? Equality? Reproductive freedom? Accountability for centuries of exploitation and violence?

If you’re going to preach “duty,” let’s talk about the duties men have long abandoned while demanding obedience from women.

This reeks of patriarchal control.👇

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide.

"To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

Interesting to speak to former Conservative Deputy PM Lord Heseltine for this latest edition...

"Oswald Mosley marched against the Jews in the 1930s. Enoch Powell made the 'rivers of blood' speech in the 1960s. And Nigel Farage represents a new incarnation of that degree of prejudice & bitterness"

Thornberry is always good, but on this morning's media round she has been exceptional.

Good on her 🔥

No statistics to back up her assertions.

No facts presented.

Just racist chatter on twitter presented as fact.

Extremely dangerous and now being normalised by this ludicrous excuse of an MP

She's unbelievably bad at this. 🤨

A GP doling out football tickets? It may sound daft, but ‘social prescribing’ could make a difference in the NHS | Devi Sridhar Big pharma pushes drugs, but community resources such as exercise, nature, music, and, yes, watching a game may better address root causes, says Prof Devi Sridhar, chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh

Spot-on from @nixonsimon.bsky.social

(summary of statement from Ed Davey on Southport tragedy) Ed Davey says we hold in our hearts Bebe, Elsie and Alice—three little girls, horrifyingly murdered. He says our thoughts are with their families and friends, who still grieve such a cruel loss. He condemns the appalling racism and violence egged on by hate preachers and conspiracy theorists, and honours everyone who came together with love and compassion, and who stood peacefully in solidarity, rejecting racism and Islamophobia.

Today we hold in our hearts Bebe, Elsie and Alice, three little girls so cruelly murdered in a heartbreaking tragedy.

As we grieve today, let us also remember that we are a caring country, defined by compassion, decency and respect for the rule of law.

When Obama warned against Brexit in 2016, the right screamed “foreign interference.”

Now Trump stands on Air Force One telling Starmer to “stop the boats” and “cut taxes” to beat Reform and they call it diplomacy.

Brexit made U.K. small again.

Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵

Phang: We have to pump the brakes here—because for someone like Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s already gone to court, professed her innocence, and claimed she had nothing to do with it—what value could she possibly offer now?

Let’s not be naive. Donald Trump quite literally holds the keys to her freedom
