I’ve seen a lot said about Ed Miliband meeting the Islamic regime foreign minister. But this concise article by @JakeWSimons says it best: “When jihadists are your underdogs and democracies are your oppressors, you’ve lost the moral argument.” Our Foreign Secretary should take the time to consider how his handshake looks to the many thousands of Iranian parents “whose children were slaughtered like animals on the streets, or blinded and castrated with shotguns, or hanged for the crime of wanting freedom, or executed by armed men as they lay in hospital.” telegraph.co.uk/gift/3a7ab2a…

🔴 Day 1,766 since Afghan girls were banned from attending secondary school. We must reject the Taliban's systematic erasure of half the population. We stand with you. You are not forgotten. #Afghanistan #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.

‘Unisex toilets outside the main toilet area for menstruating girls.’ In a British school in 2026. This is where ‘be kind’ policies have got us.
Two shocking points were revealed in this judgment. First, to their utter shame @LoveWestLothian actually submitted in their defence that they had special period toilets for girls. >>

.@DrLadeSmith 💯 And studies including REACT (Assertive Outreach) and OCTET (community treatment orders), amongst other problems, had BED DAYS as the key outcome measure Just inappropriate but both studies nevertheless hugely influential
Replying to @DrLadeSmith
@DrLadeSmith : "We are actually measured against our bed occupancy and our length of stay - we are not actually measured on whether or not we get people well" #Nottinghaminquiry

An undeniable truth bomb. If you can’t watch the video, read the text below. On day 76 of Iran’s internet blackout, spelled out plainly, calmly and clearly, here is why this utter abomination is taking place in 2026 while the world sits quiet. Please watch, listen or read ⬇️
🚨PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI JUST DROPPED THE TRUTH BOMB! "One of the reasons the regime wants a TOTAL INTERNET BLACKOUT is that people like yourselves won't hear what the people in Iran actually have to SAY about this." "The narrative is CONTROLLED completely by the REGIME, and that's what he's trying to push, whether it’s the mainstream media in the outside world to let you believe that people are in fact REJECTING that INTERVENTION." It's actually quite the OPPOSITE. The majority of the Iranian people look at this as LIBERATION CAMPAIGN. "imagine the circumstances during the second world war, imagine you were a French person who was living under the occupation of the Nazi regime, and when the the allies disembarked in on the British of Normandy, that was a campaign for liberation of a country that would otherwise have to face Hitler and his regime." "in this case we are dealing with the regime that has from the very beginning taken our compatriots at their first HOSTAGES and have kept them behind bars, this intervention is LIBERATION for US, so it's a welcome act that will help us finally get RID of this regime, which is the final ask of the Iranian people." "They have had it with this regime, they no longer want it, this regime is totally ILLEGITIMATE, it's just trying to use COERCION and FEAR to maintain itself in POWER. And try to buy TIME and ride the storm so there's no longer a Bibi Netanyahu in Jerusalem or Donald Trump in the white house that could really put pressure on this regime. That's why tactically they are trying to buy time and that has always been their modus operandi in all these years." #RezaPahlavi‌ForIran @PahlaviReza

It has been a hugely anxious wait knowing that Worboys was up for parole again. The relief I feel knowing that he will remain behind bars is hard to put into words. Women and girls across Britain are safer as a result of this decision.

A very special delivery for David Attenborough, beloved by people (and animals) everywhere 💚 To honour Sir David’s 100th birthday, His Majesty The King is supported by a cast of stars from British nature to relay his handwritten message in time for the celebration at the Royal Albert Hall.

A shocking tragedy & a hugely important day in mental health, the start of the Nottingham inquiry, the outcome of which will be felt for years to come.
The public inquiry into the 2023 Nottingham Attacks begins today and is due to last for nine weeks. Emma Webber, whose son Barnaby was killed alongside Grace O'Malley and Ian Coates by Valdo Calocane, says 'so much went so wrong' leading up to the attacks.

Counsel to the Inquiry spoke of the findings of the Ritchie report into the killing of Jonathan Zito by Christopher Clunis - how much is familiar and how little has been learned.

It is shocking that @mehdirhasan would attack @AlinejadMasih and call her - and Iranians fighting for freedom - “raging Islamophobes”. Now of all times. A woman seen as a staunch fighter for liberty for women in Iran and such a ‘threat’ to the Islamic regime that they sent assassins to her doorstep in New York. The would be killers now behind bars, thanks to the FBI. Since its creation 47 years ago, hundreds of thousands have been killed by the regime due to so called “Islamic edicts”. Edicts that include “sedition” - protesting - being deserving of immediate death. Countless women have been slaughtered for not wearing a hijab, another religious edict enforced by the regime. Criticising the Islamic regime is NOT Islamophobic. And defending the Islamic republic is NOT defending Islam, as so many Muslims without any critical thinking keep doing. Anything that either consciously or unconsciously defends this regime in the name of Islam has to be called out. Surely support for the people of Iran should not be conditional on how the Iranian diaspora makes Mehdi “feel”. That is his issue. You cannot expect victims to tune their pain to fit his, or anyone else’s narrative. I know Mehdi has written a book called “Win Every Argument”. But this is not an argument. And maybe he needs to do the mature thing and apologise, not just to Masih, but to all Iranians. Especially to the families of the tens of thousands who have in the last few weeks given their lives to be free of this murderous regime. Incredibly truthful piece here in @spikedonline please read ⬇️
Mehdi Hasan slammed the Iranian rebel Masih Alinejad as a ‘raging Islamophobe’. Why? Because she dared to criticise the hijab. What an arrogant fool Hasan is. To attack a woman who survived the brutal theocracy in Iran is disgusting, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/wr614j0
