Hello, there 👋 Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials? Well. I’d like to tell you a story. 🪡 🧵

Over the years I’ve been in many towns and cities when they were being bombed — in a few cases (Baghdad, Belgrade etc) by my own country. No matter what the justification, most of the victims have been entirely innocent. I’ve come to loathe the very thought of aerial bombardment.

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today. Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded. 😢

Somebody at the publicly funded @BBC has made an editorial decision to ignore the issue of the Welsh leader of a party they constantly tell us will form the next govt taking bribes from Russia to spread propaganda. I think we have a right to know who that somebody is. #BBCNews

Another day another news blackout from most of our media on the story of a Farage ally in European Parliament and leader of his party in Wales taking bribes from Russia to spout their lies and BS … Nathan Gill should be a household name by now. But the media that gave you phone hacking and helped give you Brexit are making sure he remains under the radar in case it demands their new pal Nigel …

His research found that autonomous systems showed stronger adherence to British Army values than soldiers, without reducing effectiveness. 8/13

“I am not scared of drones. I am scared of algorithms.” That line captured the mood at last week’s All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on AI, which focused on artificial intelligence in military and defence contexts.🧵1/13 (@APPG_AI)

Whoever that guy was who forged Trump’s name on the Epstein card in 1995 and patiently waited 30 years for a leak was a next-level strategist. It’s almost unbelievable.

Fascinating thread 👇. Please read. Chris was Mentioned in Despatches for his courage, professionalism and judgement as a young Captain during the Falklands War 1982. Today arrested for calling out Israeli war crimes. What a tragic indictment of this government’s moral collapse

Meet Colonel (ret.) Chris Romberg, former British army officer (29 Commando Regiment), military attache at UK embassies in Egypt and Jordan, and son of a Holocaust survivor. Chris was arrested today for supporting a terrorist organisation. A quick thread >

These problems require considered, intelligent solutions. Any “tough on crime” policy which does not have this as its centrepiece is a distraction. A con. Don’t let con artists and hatemongers distract from the real issues.

Utterly heartbreaking. This cannot continue. With no journalists allowed in that war zone, brave surgeons like Victoria Rose are saving lives but also acting as important witnesses. And their testimony is crucial.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"
