"What we are watching is an effort to rehabilitate Putin, one of the most gruesome monsters of a generation, and bring him back into the international order" My latest for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social on Trump, Putin and the Xi summit. www.thenewworld.co.uk/luke-mcgee-t...
"As the credits rolled on screen the Venice crowd gave a standing ovation. For about 23 minutes hundreds of people applauded the makers of 'The Voice of Hind Rajab', a story about the 5 year old Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli forces in 2024" A report on the film.
I was on the Moral Maze last night, and I have to say, with the blazing self-deception of Tim Stanley and Paul Baldwin, and the failure of other contributors to grasp some basic realities, it was an almost perfect showcase of everything that is wrong with the media. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

Farage gets roasted in Washington 🔥 Jamie Raskin calls him a ‘far-right pro-Putin politician’ and a ‘Trump sycophant & wannabe.’ Funny how the truth lands harder and faster from the US than it ever does from Starmer’s Labour here. #FarageRiots
First of all, again, Don't. Stenographically. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Second, the actual headline should be that this is a massive violation of international law. What is journalism, anyway?

@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
In a WIN for reproductive rights, Governor Pritzker has signed bill HB 3709 into law. This new law will require all public universities to offer both contraception & abortion meds if the schools have an on campus pharmacy. This law is intended to make these meds more accessible. #Pinks

Nuneaton has a population of 88,000 with 247 asylum seekers Gareth Barlow "that's 0.3%... the govt will look at this & go the issue is not that big, but thats not the perception is it" The media could ask what's been driving that perception but they wont because the answer includes them
Say it again, and again, and again. They are not "illegal immigrants". -seeking asylum is legal and has been since 1951. This legally trumps all arguments of “but they arrived by illegal means”. That’s just a fact. That’s why you don’t see asylum seekers arrested & charged. Our MSM must do better.

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

This is a great time to watch this @pulitzercenter.org documentary on why “doctors and parents in Samoa blame influential vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his associates for bolstering anti-vax sentiment” pulitzercenter.org/blog/explori...

Or we might ask if the television, platforming people such as that retired teacher with the lifesize Farage cutout, and letting Rylan broadcast lies to this exact demographic, is to blame.

The desperation by those on the Right to smear Angela Rayner is wearing thin🙄 And no - don’t bother replying UNTIL you’ve read the thread! I’ve trawled through multiple versions of this “story” in the Telegraph and Daily Mail to try and piece together what’s going on! 🧵1/17
#FedWorkerFriday meet @drdemetre.bsky.social as he addresses a crowd across from CDC, Aug 28. He resigned 8/28/25 as Director of National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases at CDC. He will be missed. We are excited to have him fighting along side us to #savepublichealth & #saveCDC.
Let’s be clear, RFK is now currently limiting access to vaccines by preventing pharmacists from doing their job. This is playing out as we speak. In several states, pharmacists cannot vaccinate if the CDC and relevant advisory groups fail to give recommendations. @msnbc.com
Resigned expert says RFK Jr has NOT BEEN BRIEFED by anyone at the CDC about COVID, the flu or measles. Watch Caitlin Collins’ extremely strong interview with these 3 leaders who resigned together to sound the alarm about our public health crisis. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7-hP...

The fact that Reform were trying to run a person who had been dead for six months as their Croydon Mayoral candidate is proof if it were needed that they are not a serious party. It demonstrates abject incompetence and no vetting as well as utter contempt for the electorate.
‘Prick’ is more appropriate, Silicon Valley public health 🤮
🤣🤣🤣🐾🐾🐾
Worry again being expressed by public health officials about the number of unvaccinated children and the dreadful consequences that chicken pox and measles may bring...
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social you should be dominating the press but as usual the utterly useless Labour media team leave a vacuum for Reform to fill. Are you deliberately employing the most incompetent or do you just think it’s getting through? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences? Only one explanation now remains. They do. And it is what they want.

Bit of a tip off: RNLI are running a sale on Christmas cards. It’s never too early to get ready to send any Reform UK supporting friends and family a greeting that will really touch them: shop.rnli.org/collections/...
Perhaps rather than endlessly promoting Mr Farage, the national media could highlight what his local councillors are doing - as demonstrated here by @northantstelegraph.bsky.social www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/...
Here's how the real two-tier Britain works: 1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off. 2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵
