I attempt to bring together verified information needed to understand the execution of the two Bangladeshi nationals in Saudi Arabia and the diplomatic fallout that could emerge as a consequence.
Hopefully it cuts through some of the disinformation.

Does she side with the UN experts who've reported on UAE links to the genocidal Rapid Support Forces, or does she continue to tow the UAE line and deny it (all evidence to the contrary)?

Multiple Green sources - including Mothin - confirmed that this statement isn’t true.
Perfect tweet that feeds the Muslim are entryists claim about the Green Party and its position on Palestine.

On September 24th, 2026, our friend and filmmaker, Arfat Sheikh was unlawfully detained by ICE coming off a plane at Dulles Airport (IAD).
Arfat Sheikh is the award-winning Kashmiri filmmaker behind Saffron Kingdom.
His work explores identity, resilience, and justice through deeply personal and politically resonant narratives.
Arfat entered the United States on a student visa to pursue graduate studies in film at Georgia State University and filed for asylum in 2020.
Sheikh has a pending immigration application and is authorized to live and work in the United States.
He is being held at Caroline Detention Center in Bowling Green, Virginia.

I'm delighted to announce my new book 'The Crescent and the Commons: Inside the New British Muslim Politics', co-authored with John Holmwood.
It's built on forensic, behind-the-scenes reporting on one of the most contested issues of our time.
Coming soon with @HurstPublishers!

I think it’s a bit tenuous to link this one to Burnham. Fair to highlight this site being part of the Abu Dhabi ‘first dibs’ deal historically but No10 North wasn’t conceived until this year and this site was sold to the govt for offices in early 2024, long before he was PM.

Amandla (@tjAmandla) and I have been given an impossible choice that seriously jeopardises our ability to finish our PhDs. We didn’t want to do this publicly but as we cannot return to the US. Anything helps. Please share if you can. chuffed.org/project/200834-s…

Watch this Irish content creator explain the everyday reality of Palestinians living in the West Bank.
Little kids unable to play football because settlers put a bunch of portacabins and barbed wire next to their football pitch. If their ball goes over they risk getting shot.
Nepali workers in the Gulf are desperate to go home to help their loved ones after a devastating flood destroyed livelihoods and killed hundreds of people.
But those who spoke to me are worried that if they leave they’ll have no job to come back to.

@Trip disappointing service. My wife was booked on China Southern but no one from the airline has said anything. Doesn’t look like they’re offering hotels or food vouchers.
