US Airman Aaron Bushnell did not kill himself to protest some other country's war
The US Department of Defense has compelled the participation of Air Force members like Bushnell in Israel's Gaza genocide
Their orders to deploy to Israel read "mandatory"

We have 'Children In Need' because billionaires and international companies refuse to pay taxes.
Crucial points made by @maggie_titmuss. I'm privileged to be part of this conversation!
Thank you @emphilpott and @IASME1 for arranging this very important conversation at Cyber Inclusion

When UKIP won 166 councillors (but no councils) in 2014 the BBC called this a "political earthquake".
@TheGreenParty just gained 200 councillors, taking the total to 737, took control of a council & became the biggest party in several others.
But 0 Green guests on #bbclaurak.

How wealthy is the royal family?
In our Today in Focus investigation, Guardian reporters take a closer look at what the royal family actually owns, and delve into the dubious origins of some of their wealth.
All episodes out now.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Odd how this occurred just before a coronation that lasted a few hours & cost £100 million.
As a carer I know where £100 million would have been better spent.
Cut care, crown a king it seems.

We’ve been speaking with @NUthmani @EISUnion on a picket line in Glasgow this morning as primary school teachers strike across Scotland in a pay dispute. She says “teachers’ pay has actually eroded by over 20% since 2008 when inflation was 3%”. #HeartNews

I'm all for #AnatoleFrance 's "vive la difference"...but we could learn a thing or two here. What is this cultural difference that makes us so meek and compliant, while a stone's throw over the Channel it'd be the guillotine?

The company connected to Tory Baroness Michelle Mone was prioritised for £205M of Govt Covid contracts. It delivered substandard PPE that had to be incinerated. Now it seems HMRC are shutting MedPro down for non-payment of taxes. Just another day in the UK.archive.ph/S5PKq
This is what people are having to do. To simply ask for fair pay. In Britain. In 2022.
We shouldn't need to, but here we are...

As strike negotiations continue with COSLA tonight, we've heard pupils across Glasgow have been organising not to cross the picket lines and are discussing what they can take to striking workers instead. The solidarity and camraderie is getting bigger and bigger!
If this was the other way round, you could bet there'd be some choice Sun and Daily Mail headlines!
Sadly, given the track record, I would have expected nothing less. It's the consistency that's truly remarkable.
I just can’t believe he’s telling us to buy a kettle and manages to fuck that up as well #BorisHasFailedBritain
