As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
Now even my partner and kid (Italians who have UK settled status) have to show a new share code every 90 days whenever they enter the UK. I already had to do that (Lebanese with pre-settled status).
The sole purpose of these is to make non-Brits feel unwelcome.
Thanks Labour.

Pam Bondi reminds Epstein's victims why they should thank Trump
Cartoon by @andertoon.bsky.social n for Raw Story
#PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #Trump #USPolitics #EpsteinFiles
Pam Bondi admitted she has no clue who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a cushy prison with perks. Not only is this troubling but it raises the question... who did?
We need a full investigation into how and why this administration has allowed Maxwell to receive special treatment.
An omission repeated by the BBC in its Radio 4 1800 news bulletin just now, which included remarks from Farage. In view of @rafaelbehr.bsky.social success with complaint on coverage of ICE, perhaps another complaint is warranted.

want to go to Bangor University' said nobody ever. Especially if Bangor University is stripped of government funding and student loan facilities by @reformparty_uk Is that "in line with your values,' poppets?
This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.
