A reminder that Sadiq Khan won three elections in a row by large majorities against Conservative opponents, one of whom, Shaun Bailey, was then given a seat in the House of Lords for life.
Funnily enough I don't remember the Daily Mail describing that as a "reward for failure"

Labour racked up the wins this week.
Lots of new initiatives to make the country fairer and greener in particular. (Though much of it didn’t make the papers.)

Reform MPs rarely show up, but this evening, I watched them walk into the "no" lobby to vote against ending fire & rehire, zero hours contracts, and exploitative pay.

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. She founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.

.@KamalaHarris doesn’t have “concepts of a plan” for the American people – she has actual plans to make your life better. And she’s more than ready to be President. Let’s help her get elected: KamalaHarris.com

"Have they broken laws? – No."
"Have they broken any rules? – No."
"Have they accepted donations and lied? – No."

The BBC says it has serious questions about the methodology of the attack on BBC reporting of Gaza in today’s Sunday Telegraph. Jeremy Bowen and Lyse Doucet, who are singled out for vicious criticism, are known worldwide as two of the finest correspondents in world journalism.

This is brilliant from Carol Vorderman.
The media helped facilitate the rise of the populist far-right in Britain 👇

This is terrifying.
And 100% the world MAGAs want for American women if they win.
I know I keep saying there are certain videos that should go viral every day until November, but this is another one powerful enough to earn that position.

The UK popular media elite is out of power, the old tabloids and the new broadcasters alike, their growing anger, bitterness, resentment, lies and nastiness will grow and grow but the thing to do is: Ignore it. It does not matter.

I am sharing a personal statement that my family and I have made in response to my brother’s announcement.

I'm surprised you were allowed to express this on Twitter. I'm sure the algorithms are blocking this important announcement, so I'm doing my civic duty to help spread this important message.

Alan has opened up a vital debate on X.odus, I’ve long argued for an autonomous, independent public corporation run by citizens as the best structure for a universal social media platform - paid for by a tiny licence fee. It shouldn’t be left to billionaires. Is now the time?
If there's going to be an X..odus from this platform (and I think there should be) let's make it a coordinated one. My thoughts on how and when. prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas…

Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.
