Tommy Robinson: 'I challenge any journalist to come to Luton and find Muslims with non Muslims.' I'm a journalist from Luton and this man is talking utter nonsense. A pleasure to work on this film, chatting to incredible people in my hometown and separating fact from fiction.

A tale of two towers? We spoke to people living in new builds and council blocks, built decades apart, who face the same problem. Their flats are unbearably hot in the summer. Not only is this uncomfortable, it can be deadly With @michaelgoodier https://t.co/fuP0fliH8N

My write up of today's Palestine Action demonstration: “I’m holding a piece of paper, that’s not a terrorist act. A terrorist act is intentionally starving 2 million," one said. “I don’t know what to say to Palestinians, I’m so sorry it’s come to this.” https://t.co/vtXJTKMAjG

Israel has for years calculated the minimum amount of food to let into Gaza without people dying from starvation. So it knows what it's doing when it allows in far less than that amount. https://t.co/qRkNS8vwlB

When a friend calls you and your first thought is ‘oh God, he’s about to tell me his whole family are dead’ you have to respond. See today’s Guardian for the full story about Mohammed’s family in Jabalia, Gaza. Our Government can and must do more. https://t.co/DsRJIUhB9W
