Nigel Farage was shouted at by a man on the street as he drove out of Clacton on the Reform UK bus! 😍😍😍 (google says it's a B&B/bar, so I'm not calling him a Clacton voter)

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General. Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Защо Панорама продължава да дава платформа на Възраждане, а не не хората които са пострадали от тях. И веднъж дали им платформа, защо не ги интервюират критично, както се очаква от истински журналисти, а ги оставя да говорят безпрепиятствено лъжи, за антисемитизъм да не говорим.

This ecocide as a continuation of Russias unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes.

Russia blew up Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam wrecking havoc on civilians and the environment downstream on the Dnipro river. Russia’s army was squandered in Ukraine, so it chose to employ water as a weapon. However, this will only increase Ukraine's resolve to drive them off our soil.

Solidarity with the people of Ukraine. I want to share some thoughts in this thread on one of the motions that was carried at UCU congress last weekend, which has caused understandable upset and anger. Please share as widely as possible.

Georgi @Gospodinov68 won the International @TheBookerPrizes last night for his novel Time Shelter. First Bulgarian author ever to get such recognition. Beyond everything else, I love this unapologetic Eastern European accent accepting the highest literary award in Britain. 🥹
