Tens of thousands killed in two days in Sudan city, analysts believe. 

Sky News is not able to independently verify the claims, but stains and shapes resembling blood and corpses can be seen from space in satellite images.

Otd in 2012 Savita Halappanavar died after being refused a life-saving abortion in Ireland.
Her death led to huge demonstrations and helped put Ireland on the road to legalisation of abortion in a referendum in 2018. This is the story of that movement:

every woman i have spoken to for four days is obsessed with lily allen's album. No one can quite believe how obsessed with lily allen's album they are. PSA that the jukebox musical of lily allen's album is going to be a thing you will end up going to

Awaab's law that came in today would also have forced her to deal with the chronic damp and many other repairs that she didn't bother to do. Such positive changes, I'm so pleased. Renting absolutely sucks

I am so glad that greedy landlords are finally having their wings clipped and that hard pressed renters are less likely be turfed out of their homes on a whim. My LL turned our 3 bed home into a 5 bed student house with just a damp kitchen as a communal space

I was evicted with my family a week before Christmas 8 yrs ago. My landlady was my stepson's PE teacher and her contempt for us her tenants was palpable, despite 11 yrs of rent, as she told us she had decided work part time, so we had to make way for students who she could rinse for more ยฃ

I need every journalist to point out that even if steen got the finger out and got on the ballot (she didn't), and even if all the spoiled votes would have gone to her (they wouldn't), she would have still come last

I turned it off. I'm not interested in the views of people who want to take our rights away. That debate is over

He wouldn't want today's soldiers to be worried about the potential for future protection. They absolutely should be! Otherwise they (continue to) have impunity

The cruelty to have that sort of discussion with any Holocaust survivor, let alone your own grandfather. Unfathomable

In just 100 days, The Guardian found that more than 44,000 people were shuffled across detention centers, often across state lines, far from their families and attorneys, and with no notice.

It is extraordinary to see American democracy just collpase in on itself in no time. Like it wasn't what the entire country was built upon. Are we going to let lunatics do the same here?

It was clear two years ago that Project 2025 and Trump planned to drain all monies from everything but Criminal Justice, Immigration, National Security and the Military, and that those formerly separate pots would in fact be one pot aimed at controlling the American population via government force.

Is this the "ICE style deportation enforcement" that Farage has in mind? Does this seem like a happier, safer place to you? Machine-gun armed militias, with faces covered, yanking people into unmarked cars?

It took an Irish journalist, Claire Byrne, to hand Farageโ€™s arse to him on a plate.
Depressing not to see more of this in British broadcasting.
Anyway, enjoy how the big mouth has nothing to say for once after she plays him some very embarrassing footageโ€ฆ

For a sense of how quickly things have descended in the last few months alone, Reforms flagship policy would have been too extreme for Reform just six months ago.

Today we heard Farageโ€™s dystopian vision of a future where British people lose rights in the name of racist, xenophobic policies. But British people donโ€™t want shallow, recycled slogans. They want real solutions - not ideas that wreck the economy & make life worse for people of colour.
