Giving misogyny a platform is not 'balance' β€” it’s negligence SBS’s decision to air a segment elevating conservative male influencers who peddle misogyny is a dangerous failure of responsibility.

Finally someone is understanding platforming hate in the name of β€˜both sides’ is irresponsible.

if I ever go properly "screaming about nothing in particular in the street" mad it will be due to having spent too much time having read about the opinions of men who have absolutely never cared about women's rights for one moment in their lives but decided to pretend just for the sake of racism

In the debate I argued that Palestine Action's activities were criminal and the law was already dealing with them through the courts.
But in my view they did not meet the threshold to be considered a terrorist organisation.
The Govt insisted on the proscription.

US to rewrite its past national climate reports US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

How BBC presents the anti-migrant hotel protests vs how we do at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

BBC lead with a Reform UK voter saying "We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children”

We tell of the refugee children inside the hotel terrified by chants of β€œsend them out!”

Some people cannot get vaccinated for medical reasons. They rely on herd immunity to protect them.

Get vaccinated.

#Measles can cause serious lifelong conditions.

#Measles can kill.

When I grew up, before vaccines, everyone knew about the dangers of #Measles.

The reason you haven't heard a lot about this in the past few decades is because #Vaccines work.

Vaccinate your children.

I voted for Zack

Voting for leader, done!

@zackpolanski.bsky.social’s vision for a bold and brave @greenparty.org.uk is exactly what we need.

Both to deliver more MPs and to hold the powerful accountable.

You’ve got until the end of the month to vote!

Guess who the tax system is really supporting In this second article on wealth accumulation, we explain who our tax system really supports

The UK government gives the richest 20% around Β£67 billion a year in tax breaks.
That’s more than double the entire Universal Credit budget.

It’s not a bug – it’s the system working as designed.

Now she’s leading a campaign to ban them from beaches, and she won’t stop until real change happens.

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions.

Any β€œtough on crime” policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction.

A con.

Don’t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Subsequently, allegations were made relating to an abuse of power by a serving Met officer. These were formally investigated and found to be unsubstantiated.

β€œThe action taken in this case was considered to be necessary, proportionate and compliant with the Police and Criminal Evidence Act as officers need to conduct prompt and effective investigations.”

Coming back to this again, this statement is why it's so hard to address the problem.

Three serving officers arrested and detained a woman for 12 hours!

At 4am!

On extremely dubious charges!

Because, allegedly, her police officer ex asked them to!

And the Met considers this acceptable.
