1/ Why did UK media not pick up this story? Of all mainstream outlets it only made the Guardian, oddly a full 24 hours later. A secret meeting in London between UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and Israel's Foreign Affairs minister Gideon Sa'ar 👉 This *should* have been a major political story...

I spoke to women leaving academia posts because they feel universities are protecting predatory professors. Is this one cause for the ‘leaky pipeline’ problem, which sees women falling out of academia at every rung of the ladder?

Sadly think we’re playing a fool’s game throwing moral words like ‘appals’ and ‘shameful’ at Trump. His currency is ego. So mock the idiot swallowing what Putin shoves down his throat. Laugh cos the US chose a gullible child. Say this man is thick as fuck.‘Stuns the world’ is praise to him.

On Monday, I appeared on @channel4tv.bsky.social’s wildly controversial #GoBack To Where You Came From. Lots to say on this. But first, the most important. In ep 1, we learned about FGM, one of the biggest killer of girls. This week marked the UN day to fight FGM. I couldn’t find a single headline.

‘SHOOTINGS AT/AROUND/NEAR MIGRANT CAMP’ These headlines clearly imply violence by migrants, when migrants were actually targeted by a French national. Deliberately ambiguous clickbait? Surely not.

Sad to see Mishal Husain leave BBC Today, imo their best and lest egotistical interviewer. I once worked with her producer to get more refugee and asylum seeker voices into Radio 4 coverage - not a lasting legacy, but I witnessed Husain give more minutes than she has to delivering meaningful news.

The UK & EU still label Syria’s new rebel government a ‘terrorist’ group. Yet one day in, it’s safe for Syrians to go home? Two ideas that make no logical sense together - except in being as stupidly Western as each other.

Multiple headlines report the UK and European countries are suspending Syrians’ asylum claims

Western media ignore the human motives of any action by groups dubbed ‘terrorist’. This includes HTS, Syria’s core rebel force. Western officials have criticised HTS’ use of violence, without apologising for their failed & abandoned diplomatic alternatives. Rebels have their reasons: report them.

The Telegraph’s legitimisation of a second general election would be a lot more credible if it’s commentators hadn’t called the second Brexit referendum “a gross betrayal of our democracy,” “a disaster for Britain,” and a “delusion” by “‘People’s Vote’ zealots” 🤷🏼‍♀️

WEEKLY COLUMN @bylinetimes.bsky.social 1/ Amsterdam’s mayor regrets comparing Ajax-Maccabi violence to a “pogrom”, saying the phrase, plastered across the mainstream media, has been “turned into propaganda”. Well done her for setting the record straight. Now where is the media’s mea culpa?
