Monday’s parliamentary debate on Russian interference (chaired by Alex Sobel MP) must dig deeper,it’s not just Russia. There’s a network of bad actors shaking Britain’s democracy.If we don’t face this head-on,the consequences could be huge.worse if we ignore it,we risk losing more than we realise.

Three kinds of people hate #London:
1️⃣ Those who fear its diversity.
2️⃣ Those who want to remake it to fit their ideals.
3️⃣ Those who just echo others’ complaints.
Each reveals more about themselves than the city. London thrives because it’s everyone’s. 🌍

Truth was meant to belong to everyone. Now the storytellers are vanishing, one newsroom at a time. The Washington Post cuts a third of its staff today and the fight for free and trusted journalism begins again. As Once, truth was the world’s common language. Now it speaks in whispers behind paywalls

🙏🏻 Bring back the spirit of the Nuremberg Trials.The mere mention of it makes them tremble,the pushback is real, unstoppable,the tide of justice is rising,the momentum of truth is here.By divine grace,the light in this world still outshines its darkness and good people still far outnumber corrupt.❤️🫶

I’ve been closely following this concerning case. Should the UK government yield to these demands, it would risk setting a dangerous precedent,one that authoritarian states could exploit to target their citizens and journalists abroad who dare to speak out.

awareness
and a drive by investigative media exposing the crimes, manipulations, and unethical practices of tech giants.
This awakening will rewrite regulations, and we shall witness the collapse of deceptive platforms, and flagship companies and reshape the technological order as we know it.

As humanity loses its grip on the accelerating tide of digital technologies, the reckless pursuit of profit by their creators has transformed innovation into a global security and privacy threat.

Journalists must stay alert when covering global issues,history is filled with hidden political and social rivalries between nations that silently shape today’s stories. From France and Britain to Lebanon and Syria, from India and Pakistan to Japan and China,behind every tension lies a long memory.

Mikel Arteta is genuinely stressing me out. 😩 Got a horrible feeling he’s about to throw another league lead like the last 3 years.
I said it time ago: Gyökeres doesn’t look like a natural 9 in this system and I’m not fully sold on Eze over someone like Martinelli…++

Trump’s retreat from his threats to Europe today proof as I remarked yesterday that bullies crumble when confronted.
But make no mistake, he’ll test the ground again if vigilance slips if Europe lowers its guard, Bullies return when you stop standing tall.

Is it possible that UAE-affiliated media promotion networks have found their way into major international news platforms? I find it intriguing how promotional content about the UAE occasionally appears quite prominently through outlets like AFP and Reuters.!!

Trump behaves like a school bully, egged on by his sinister inciters, Putin and Netanyahu. He won’t backs down if he is not met with strength, never weakness. If Europe can’t say a clear “no,” its credibility is on the line.

So if peace ends when the awards stop, was it ever about peace or just the trophy?
Trump wrote to the PM of Norway…
”informing him that as a consequence of not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”.

The ego is undefeated.

It breaks my heart and terrifies me, that arrogance and ego sometimes drive some among us to distort the truth and impose false narratives. If not for our ethics, our craft could become a weapon in the wrong hands. Journalism’s soul depends on honouring our code of ethics🕊️ #Journalism #Ethics #Truth

Yesterday,had the privilege of sharing a drink with my past heroes. It took me back to my early days as a young journalist, watching the greats of our craft sip whiskey, trade stories, and pass on their wisdom wisdom burden that, with time, turned them into relics of a fading era. Not me thanks ☺️ .

Russian intel and Kremlin today openly grinning,barely hide their glee, after all they didn’t need missiles to watch the U.S. imploding from within as the ultimate revenge. Meanwhile, U.S. allies just stare, unsure how to wake Washington imprudent administratiuon from its chaos.

“Now what?”

Everything history has told us about the reasons behind the fall of kingdoms States and empires exists today in the American condition under Trump’s leadership, arrogant rulers, oppression of the weak, greed-driven policies, and a growing appetite for wars beyond their borders.

4/4. Even its traditional allies are now distancing themselves. The Emirati leadership has lost trust, trapped in wealth and arrogance.

Will the UAE rethink its course? Sadly, all signs suggest it won’t.

3/4. Today, it has turned into a global hub for illicit money, fugitives, and unregulated businesses, eroding its credibility worldwide.
Despite claiming to combat extremism, the UAE’s actions are widely seen as hostility toward Islam itself ironic for an “Islamic” state.

2/4. Its role in the Gulf crisis with Qatar nearly pushed the region to the brink of a devastating conflict.
The UAE has also been linked to murky international dealings, attempts to sway U.S. politics, and corrupt media influence.

🧵🚨 1/4. The UAE has become increasingly isolated in the Arab world due to its erratic and interventionist foreign policies.

From Libya to Yemen, Sudan to Somalia , Abu Dhabi fueled internal wars under the pretext of “fighting extremism,” leaving chaos and division behind.

Don’t mistake this,Ironically,liberals and democrats across the Muslim and Arab world who once hoped for the fall of the extremist Iran’s regime now find themselves more troubled by the U.S. president’s antics and Israel’s aggression intentions in their regions.

Ofcom doing what it does best: snoozes through real crises, wakes up only when the EU launches its own investigation , then pretends to care about Musk’s Grok AI mess. Peak performance bureaucrats.

Alongside being the first openly racist, deceitful, and hypocritical U.S. president, Trump will forever be remembered as the man who destroyed America’s global reputation and opened the door for dictators worldwide to mirror his aggressive, destructive path against international and human values.
