Labour lawyers ‘blocked’ from briefing MPs on jury trials overhaul before vote
Leader of rebel group says there is deep concern within Society of Labour Lawyers about courts and tribunals bill
This is shocking. Labour lawyers ‘blocked’ from briefing MPs on jury trials overhaul before vote. The Prime Minister is completely out of control on this. MPs must come together and stop him from undermining & restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy

Tweet by Philip Proudfoot saying Switzerland stopped being neutral after condemning U.S.–Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of international law, quoting an Al Jazeera Breaking News headline.
A Swiss kick in the ass.

Israel and the US appear to want to do to Tehran what they have done to Gaza: reduce a busy and complex society to a toxic wasteland.

It’s time for Keir Starmer to pick a side. From protecting our right to peaceful protest, to getting us off dangerous fossil fuels, the UK can be the alternative to everything that’s wrong with Trump. Join me in urging Starmer to choose people and planet over billionaire-backed bullies

In my work as Mayor of London and in my life, I’m surrounded by women who make our city and our world better every day.
To the women leading, creating, caring and keeping our city thriving: thank you.
Happy International Women’s Day.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

Question Time - 2026: 05/03/2026
Fiona Bruce presents an hour of topical debate from Kettering. On the panel are Stephen Doughty, James Cleverly, Shashank Joshi, George Monbiot and Annabel Denham.
I don't know how to clip a segment (sorry), but the bit I really want you to watch starts at 29'10". It's about the deep roots of the attack on Iran and why it's just as well Starmer is "no Winston Churchill". I'm surprised this aspect isn't more widely discussed. 🧵

Hey! I just called on the UK government to scrap anti-protest laws which attack our hard won democratic freedoms. Please can you defend the right to protest too by signing the petition?

Appalling despicable and against international law. It is a war crime. The Iranian ship was unarmed and involved in a peace mission. Iranian people are humans and deserve the protection of international law. This is not a computer game - these are real people who are human beings.

Covid inquiry chair defends cost and length of process on final day
Baroness Heather Hallett said completing the hearings in under four years was an achievement but critics have questioned its cost.
"If implemented, my recommendations should reduce the number of deaths, reduce the suffering and reduce the social and economic cost," she [Baroness Heather Hallett] said.
I've got a feeling that that is a mighty big "If".

Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000
Most recorded visits are for smaller debts, data from England and Wales suggests, though method of recovery is a postcode lottery
Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000.
Exorbitant water bills. One-third covers interest & dividend payments
Companies paid over £85bn in dividends, borrowed billions to pay. Sewage dumped in rivers, fines waived. No bailiff ever sent. No exec punished

What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚

Hey, our pollinators here in the UK are dropping rapidly - a butterfly emergency was even called last year. Pollinator numbers dropping is partly due to how much pesticides we use - but it doesn’t have to be this way. tell the UK government to follow in their footsteps and protect our pollinators:

When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name:

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature
Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...
Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.
