My prediction is that Trump will announce he is pardoning Bolsonaro (ignoring that its nothing to do with him) nytimes.com/2026/10/28/world…

Three speeches on AI written. Following parliamentary decisions, none delivered.
AI is already changing our every day lives with great challenges and opportunities.
Constituents and businesses want to know what that means for them, and what Parliament plans to do about it.
Yesterday's backbench debate on AI got squeezed out by a packed timetable. That happens. The bigger problem is that the Government still hasn't found time of its own to debate AI, even though we've asked again and again.
AI isn't waiting for the Government's diary. Give us the debate.
I still have not seen anything from @EdwardJDavey or @anna4fes ( Culture spokesperson) about the BBC paying £400k to a Jewish producer who they discrimated against.
Isnt the job of the police to ensure Jews ( and any other group) can go where they like without being attacked ?

I feel like Jared Kushner being at the center of the plot that ultimately led to an American journalist being dismembered via bone saw while he was still alive should be a much bigger deal than our billionaire owned news media is making of it.

John Legend: "When Vivek Ramaswamy hears of an indicted child abuser who fled the state rather than face charges, instead of siding with the victim, he takes the side of the abuser…Do we want a man with this sort of depraved moral compass to lead our state?"

Trump’s closing message to voters ahead of the midterms:
“You could even come to Mar-a-Lago… The problem is that for $5,000, the most you’ll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I’m not even sure you could buy that.”

I’ve just been for a lovely lunch with friends in London and then saw this statue of Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti on my way home. He is serving life sentences for the murder of five civilians. This is really upsetting to see a killer of Jews glorified. @CamdenCouncil

It was actually our 250th anniversary.
Not that you would know — you spent it with the British.
Paxton: On July 4th, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of our country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
July 4 2026 marked the 250th anniversary of US independence not the 200th as claimed in the video. Multiple reports placed Paxton in London England that weekend with videos of the trip.

Chuffed to bits to be shortlisted for two British Journalism Awards: Health & Life Sciences Journalism with @vsmacdonald & @robbieboyd_ , and Campaign of the Year for my sustained coverage of England's poor maternity care for @NewStatesman. Thanks to the judges & @pressgazette

Widely respected former BBC Home Affairs Correspondent, Danny Shaw, says that there now needs to be an independent inquiry into anti-semitism at the BBC. @afneil @DPJHodges @JuliaHB1
Pains me to say it, but there needs to be an independent inquiry into anti-semitism at the BBC. Lucie Kon's allegations - some of which are set out in this @TimesRadio interview - are so serious they can't be brushed aside. Over to you @lisanandy.

Very happy to have been shortlisted in the Specialist Journalism category in this year's British Journalism Awards for my investigation into Cambridge University professor Jason Arday and the extensive plagiarism in his PhD thesis #BJA2026

How far is the "distance" ? Are they resigning from the Party, or merely calling for Polanski to either commit to a clear out or go himself ?
Dozens of Green councillors distance themselves from Zionism policy following Labour ultimatum

During the January 6th attack on the nation's Capitol, Daniel Rodriguez drove a stun gun into the neck of Officer Mike Fanone. He was knocked unconscious, had a heart attack and suffered a traumatic brain injury. It ended his career.
Rodriguez got over 12 years in prison for his assault on police. On day one, Donald Trump gave him a "full, complete and unconditional pardon" and sent him home.
This is far and away the most corrupt White House in American history.
I have not yet seen any comment from @EdwardJDavey or @anna4fes about the appalling anti semitism from the BBC for which @imluciekon has been given £400k damages

A hateful man stormed into a Jewish wedding in Liverpool and began hurling antisemitic insults at the guests, terrifying people at the gathering
His lawyer, in defending him, said a mitigating factor was that his client is Irish and has suffered discrimination
What in the world is this line of reasoning?

The grass field that these two pillocks just "saved" was an old, overgrown rugby pitch next to the site where Bath RFC Juniors train.
It's been left to rot for years. A Lidl would have brought discounted groceries to thousands of hard-up families.
These people are sick.

The “experts” commissioned by the UN conveniently left out of their report how 7 Arab states attacked Israel, starting the 1948 war.
I’m sure the rest of their report accusing Israel of genocide when a ceasefire is in place it totally reliable though 🤷♂️
