Sadly now the AfD is coming back - and the government didn’t ban them like they could’ve under this law, as they (probably accurately) assessed the backlash would be worse

I have even more questions about the secrecy of this meeting in the UK mainstream media, than in government. So does Mulla, the reporter who broke the news. In interviewed him on MEE Live 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqAG...

3/ MPs from multiple parties condemned the secret meeting when the news was broken by @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social's Imran Mulla. Two NGOs even even filed for an arrest warrant for Sa'ar, while he was in the UK.

2/ It marks the first (known) UK visit by an Israeli minister since the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. It also breaks tensions between Lammy and Israel over Israel's refusal of entry to two Labour MPs.

Mathilda Mallinson @mathildamall.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

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?

Believe it or not, I went on a Channel 4 reality show titled ‘Go Back To Where You Came From’ to try to fight sensationalist polarisation. It was really hard. Here’s what I learned.

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.

No one needs to speak for women like this - just listen. Needless to say the culprits weren’t on @bsky.app, but I figure Bluesky was a good place to spotlight the response.

“When they see it with their own eyes, maybe they can appreciate why people want to go to the UK,” said Ifrah, who fled to Ireland as a refugee herself. “My daughter was born from a mother who believes that she has a right to live, she has a right to her body, she has a right to say no.”

“I am so sick and tired of hearing this framing that FGM is a Muslim issue,” said Leyla Hussein. “FGM is practiced by all faiths, from Muslims, to non-believers, to Christians, to Ethiopian Jews. This is about patriarchy — tell me where in the world patriarchy is not an issue?”

Mathilda Mallinson @mathildamall.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

There are (a small but loud number of) people who used Somali women’s testimonies of FGM as a ‘cultural’ case against taking in refugees, after it appeared on C4’s #gobacktowhereyoucamefrom We invited those women to respond directly on @mediastormpod.bsky.social

Zero tolerance will not happen with zero coverage. That’s the focus of this week’s @mediastormpod.bsky.social. We exist to platform the real experts in crises and debates, the people living them. Our guests included the Somali woman and survivor who appeared on Channel 4, Ifrah Ahmed.

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.
