What a dire edition of #newsnight last night. Cunningham seems to think talking over everyone else makes for good viewing and she is always allowed to get away with it. #bbcnews

The BBC did a great job today covering the elections. But you can't help wonder if it was so thorough because it really gave them a chance to promote Reform. #localelectionsuk

Make some noise. Share this post. 🚨 The Israeli government has granted itself another means to dehumanise, suppress, and kill Palestinians. Israel is violating international law.
The image says, "PRISON SENTENCE FOR ISRAELIS, DEATH SENTENCE FOR PALESTINIANS." It also says, "Israel's death penalty bill is a reminder: this is illegal occupation, functioning as intended," with the OXFAM logo below.
