And just to remind people, GamerGate wasn’t an anomaly. It was a symptom.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I'd been told it was a bastardised version of the French Chere Reine, which sounds plausible, but is presumably wrong.

Spend the day with Olha Horenko, Doctors Without Borders Ambulance Doctor, who works near the frontlines in #Ukraine. 🚑

Olha and her team transfer patients from overcrowded frontline hospitals to safer medical facilities, making sure everyone stays stable, safe and well cared for along the way.

The last one on the journey was at Charing Cross = Chere Reine Croix.

Listening to R4 Desert Island Discs and falling in love with the delightful, exuberant, beautiful Jessie Buckley.
Just saying.

Why an American-style health-care system would be bad for Britain A US style healthcare system may be politically desirable for some, but it is a far from perfect system, even for the insured

If you think the NHS has problems, wait until you see the chaos across the pond.

It’s a complex system in US - Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE - too often the sick fall through the cracks and either stay sick or lose a lot of money – or both.

This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

Rachel Reeves to make new push for greater single-market access Some member states, led by France, expect the UK to pay into the EU budget in return

“Reeves has been ratcheting up the rhetoric on closer EU relations which she described as the “biggest prize” in trade”

If only we’d acknowledged this BEFORE we threw it away in a fit of arrogant prejudice. Getting back in the room is far harder than flouncing off

The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country “in an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.

This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.👇

Another Green Win!!!!! 🎉

I’m shocked, stunned etc.

Meanwhile, everywhere else around the world assumes Australia has cracked it and are rushing to copy their law.

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.

Thaad: The US may move its anti-missile system out of South Korea - and it's sparking unease Media reports say the US may be moving its Thaad system to the Middle East, despite Seoul's opposition.

They really didn't think this out, did they?

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

🤬It was the Iranians who launched the first 'shahids' against Ukraine. There were no russian operators, they were trained to do this - Zelenskyy

I think we're seeing that existential crisis in full display this week!

Lower bills.
Protect the NHS.
Protect public services.

And replace Labour.

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Michel Yakovleff is absolutely correct. America is well down the road of a #totalitarian regime takeover.
Hannah Arendt spelt it out in 'The Origins of Totalitarianism' and more recently Maria Ressa @mariaressa.bsky.social in 'How To Stand Up To A Dictator'.

If we already won, why is our navy too scared to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz?

U.S. Air Force B-1 And B-52 Bombers Now Striking Iran From The UK The U.S. Air Force now operates three distinct bomber aircraft, all of which can trace their development back to the Cold War.

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?
