I can't help feeling that if these uniformed, masked yobs had been protesting against climate change, there would have been many more arrests (currently zero).

Oxfordshire County Council is leaving X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter. It says it is “deeply concerned about the rise in online hate speech and abuse targeting women and girls… we must make clear and principled choices about how we communicate”.

The Israeli government has adopted the double-strike tactic used by Bashar al-Assad in Syria: target a hospital or heavily populated area, then hit it again when rescue workers, reporters and medics turn up, to kill or maim them too. Hideous war crimes piled one upon another.

I'd like an apology from @marycreagh.bsky.social please. She claimed my column on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill was "deeply misleading". She failed to explain why. But it was an accurate explanation of the problems with the Bill. Ministers should not make unsubstantiated and untrue claims.
