Doreen Lawrence calls for undercover police who spied on family to be named Mother of murdered teenager Stephen says officers who infiltrated political groups should be named at public inquiry

As Doreen Lawrence said when that decision was taken: 'They were doing the deception. Why should they be allowed to be anonymous while people like me had their faces all over the newspapers? These people were not innocent. They knew what they were doing.'

Welcome to another daily thread covering all things Ukraine and its battle for freedom, every single day without fail - through despair, disgust, exasperation and exhaustion.

Day 1350 has started with more pain for Russia, so let the thread begin.

And again, we will be told: "Don't escalate. Don't react with violence. Dance around in costumes." People who pose absolutely no threat are being shot. And this is happening with greater regularity. They are escalating no matter what. Do we just keep pretending like there's some other end to this?

While it showed that ethnic minority representation has improved, it also showed they are still:

Less likely to have a lead role

On screen for less time

Less likely to be shown within a family

And the darker the skin tone, the less likely they are to be featured.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?

After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.

Nigel Farage to promise business deregulation in economic policy speech Reform UK leader to set out ‘pro-entrepreneurship’ agenda while rowing back on tax cuts pledge

Oh gosh, another "bonfire of business regulation". As promised by all governments and oppositions for the last 15 years, mysteriously failing to deliver, and with not a shred of interest shown by politicians in why that was. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train

The Putin puppet Trump told journalists he wasn’t considering sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine - even though the Pentagon said it was okay.

Waking up, terrorizing, and ziptying little children! This is ICE! ( Btw, they’re American citizens) if we tolerate this, we share collective guilt for such inhumanity

Shameful behaviour by Bucks council and its councillors.

An associate of Strelkov, the Russian fascist Maxim Kalashnikov, appears to have regained his senses, admitting that the Russians have failed in the “cause of their forefathers” and that a generation of young Ukrainians driven by revenge and a desire to reclaim what was lost will soon emerge.

🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.

Evidence of mass killings by RSF in El-Fasher, Sudan, are chilling. They must be a wake up call for the rest of the planet too. Countries must be pressured to stop sending weapons into their proxy war in Sudan. It starts with acknowledging the horror.

One of the interesting things about the growth of the Green Party (particularly their membership) in the UK over the last several months is that it's happened (no pun intended) organically. They've barely spent anything on digital ads, and nothing at all from their main party accounts.
