In just one year, Donald Trump has done all he can to destroy 80+ years of alliances and partnerships. That destruction is not strength — it's weakness masquerading as strength.

According to a new study from a respected US think tank, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Britain’s decision to leave the EU has meant that its GDP is between 6 per cent and 8 per cent smaller than it would have been.

Nick Robinson is exactly right: ‘…there is genuine concern about editorial standards+mistakes. There is also a political campaign by people who want to destroy the organisation that you are currently listening to. Both things are happening at the same time.’

The “Farage boats.”
“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

This is terribly tragic news. Thinking of his family, friends and colleagues tonight in a conflict that has claimed the lives of so many journalists.

Deeply shocked by Israel’s deliberate killing of the Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, his colleague Mohammed Qreiqeh and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists in the war.

Israel says it killed these Palestinian Al Jazeera journalists, claiming - without providing any evidence - that Al Sharif was a terrorist. Previous Israeli claims about him were rejected as unsubstantiated smears by Al Jazeera and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

After her 5 years in Iran’s Evin Prison, bombed the other day by Israel, Nazanin Zachary-Ratcliffe writes: ‘If Evin taught me anything, it was that freedom does not come from bombs and brutality, nor from clever stunts for the cameras. It lies in human connection and empathy.’

Maybe you could remind us all of your blundering role in the appalling detention of Nazanin Zachary-Radcliffe … ? I’m sure Twitter can remind you if you have forgotten.
Great to see that Israel has blown the doors off Evin prison - a symbol of Tehran’s barbarous regime where wholly innocent political prisoners, like Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, are detained for years in appalling conditions. A blow for freedom.

Extraordinary and chilling moment at the UN. Relief chief Tom Fletcher accuses Israel of using starvation “as a bargaining chip.” Urges the Security Council to act decisively to prevent genocide in Gaza.
So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

If this is accurate then it would seem there is no point in real journalists attending White House press conferences. What a pity.
Wow. The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public. This is how authoritarian states are run.
