This video was originally posted over a month ago - nothing to do with current events. There is so much false information being circulated on this app right now

*Massive operation/incursion by Hamas inside Israel. V different from anything in past. *Well planned, must have taken months. *Must have had outside support - Iran/Hezb. *Huge intel failure by Israel, caught totally unaware, barley any response in first hours 1/4

Unprecedented, the biggest security failure in Israel in half a century and something that will certainly lead to full-scale war in Gaza: "Residents reported and took videos showing squads of Hamas militants marching into the southern city of Sderot." haaretz.com/israel-news/2023…

Why are white Britons dying at higher rates than other ethnic groups? I dug into new data and spoke to @TheKingsFund's Veena Raleigh to find an answer and was surprised to discover that healthy migrants are a key part of the explanation. Read more @FT ft.com/content/f51ee83d-8a9b…

Eight people reportedly killed so far in major Israeli assault on West Bank city of Jenin. @JoFloto reports “ambulances are struggling to get in. We are likely to see a lot of casualties, although those figures will only be confirmed once ambulances can reach the wounded and the dead.”

🧵Bridgwater - my home town on @SkyNews today. Reacting to PMQs and the cost of living. Glad to see a glimpse of the stories that friends back home tell me on national news. "someone that has to do three jobs and they still haven't got enough money. They are £500 short .. "
"She's not in the real world." "I think she's rather deluded." Sky News hears how people in the constituency of Bridgwater and West Somerset - a Tory-held seat since its creation in 2010 - feel about Liz Truss. Politics latest: trib.al/ecixuwi 📺 Sky 501 / YouTube

Why is the UK rental market in chaos? The data shows listings are down & enquiries up, meaning a rising number of renters are fighting over a dwindling supply of homes. In #Bradford, for example, there are only 1/2 as many new ads as there were 3yrs ago but 6x as much interest

THREAD: 20 yrs ago today, the BBC started a radio station in celebration of black music and culture. BBC @1Xtra was special in many ways. And most importantly it was full of staff who *lived* the culture, we were not spectators dipping into and demonising it like many others…

This site is so miserable at the moment - it is time for a Thread. I grew up in the era of the radio show phone-in. They were A Big Deal in the early 00s. And the biggest of all the big deals was when a radio station held Party in the Park. You could call to win tickets.

I've just come back from three weeks in Moscow. I spent a lot of that time in our bureau, where the TVs are tuned to Russian state television. A couple observations on what ordinary Russians are being told - and aren't being told - about the war in Ukraine:
