Reform UK councillor shared Facebook post saying Labour MP ‘should be shot’ Natalie Fleet MP says politicians should not expect ‘death threats as standard’, as Lancashire councillor apologises

So Reform publicly condones violence now. Even after Farage was so angry at Jo Brand's 'throw acid not milkshake' joke. Is it okay for Reform because it's threatening violence against a Labour MP or is it because it's aimed at a woman? Both probably.

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

Michael Gove Made Orwell Prize Judge Despite Record of Attacking Journalists and Dodging Scrutiny Critics say "Orwell would have enjoyed the irony" of the former Conservative minister's appointment

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Trump says Ukraine plan ‘not my final offer’ after EU leaders warn deal needs work Kyiv’s European allies held crisis talks after details of the U.S. plan first came to light, amid fears it could constitute another ultimatum from Washington.

US President Donald Trump last night appeared to backing away from demanding that Ukraine accept a controversial proposal to give up territory to Russia, slash its military and give the US a major cut of reconstruction profits. So, what's next?

🇻🇪⭕️BREAKING: U.S. is preparing a new phase of operations targeting Venezuela within days, Reuters reports, citing four U.S. officials.

Two officials say covert action would likely come first as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on President Nicolás Maduro, whom Washington accuses, without evidence, of running a major drug-trafficking network. The U.S. has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group and other forces to the Caribbean, authorized CIA operations, and plans Monday to label the Cartel de los Soles a foreign terrorist organization. 

Options on the table include trying to remove Maduro, officials confirmed to Reuters, though timing and scope remain unclear. Rights groups already accuse Washington of unlawful killings in recent strikes on alleged drug boats, and Maduro, who denies the allegations, vows Venezuela will resist.

⭕️ The Palestinian NGO Network reports over 19,000 children have been killed and more than 28,000 injured in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with hundreds of schools, kindergartens, and childhood centers destroyed. It also documents 56,000 orphaned children who lost one or both parents. 

The NGO Network marked World Children’s Day by urging the UN and human rights groups to act immediately to protect Palestinian children, especially in Gaza. 

The group says Israeli forces are subjecting children to systematic violations, including a deliberate policy of genocide and the detention of hundreds of minors. It calls for enforcing international law, holding Israeli leaders accountable, securing medical care, allowing medicine and food into Gaza, and ensuring children are included in all relief and recovery plans.

In terms of archaeology / cultural heritage Israel has signed the Hague Convention of 1954, which imposes certain responsibilities on Israel in terms of looted artefacts.
