Make misogyny an aggravated crime I just signed the campaign calling to make misogyny an aggravated crime

Five years since Sarah Everard, and over 100 women are still killed by men every year. 💔 We have a chance to make misogyny a hate crime, but it’s not a done deal just yet. This International Women's Day, sign the petition and say: enough is enough! act.38degrees.org.uk/act/make-mis...

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Ah, so much “world peace” right now.

The world has never been more peaceful. They say ‘Donald, how did you get so much peace happening all at the same time? It’s like a World War 3 of peace.’

have equal right to life. The old power struggles do not serve us.

The old ways must end.

War is not the answer.

Power is not the answer.

Control is not the answer.

Freedom and equal rights for all peopleis the answer.

Water is life. It is a human right.

Dramatic rise in water-related violence recorded since 2022 Experts say climate crisis, corruption and lack or misuse of infrastructure among factors driving water conflicts

As we witness the horror of attacks on desalination plants, we need to be aware, on a warming planet, conflict over water, using water as a weapon of war, & targeting people seeking water is on the rise

- in the past 4 years, it's nearly doubled:

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Every single member of Congress that hasn't spoken up and acted is complicit in the murder and destruction of every single country we are going to war with and they should be put on trial too. Disgusting. #USA #America #Congress

Please can someone tell Boris Johnson that a period of quiet from him would be most welcome? Preferably for the rest of his life? If the UK is a "piffling irrelevance", it is because of Johnson's Brexit.

What's important in the Greens' statement is that they explicitly menion renewing Freedom of Movement. That's rare for English parties, who generally skip around it.

NYC mayor not banned from UK – Full Fact A series of videos shared on social media falsely claim that Zohran Mamdani said the UK has “lost its moral compass”, prompting Keir Starmer to ban him from the UK.

Videos shared online falsely claim Keir Starmer banned New York mayor Zohran Mamdani from the UK, after Mr Mamdani supposedly said the UK had “lost its moral compass” at an event they both attended.

But no such event happened, and he hasn’t been banned.

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Early data shows that 80% of under-18s in custody don't reoffend the following year thanks to specialist youth workers.

My London VRU is investing in these lifelines because it’s never too late to intervene and prevent violence.

A UK-EU customs union would kickstart our economy, cut red tape and build ties with our reliable allies in the face of Trump’s chaos.

Why is the Chancellor so opposed?

Two rental e‑scooters, one green-and-white and one red, are parked on a pavement beside large plant pots.

More Londoners are choosing e-scooters than ever before.

TfL’s latest trial data shows a major boost in sustainable travel, with a year-on-year surge in trips. Crucially, the vast majority of riders were parking in designated bays.
