@GyllKing She’s such an entitled bore, sophism may be win the argument once or twice but after a bit it gets soporifically boring

So should it be the billionaires that decide who gets that. Spoiler alert - it already is.

You no longer have a right to be anonymous in public. Dark days ahead.

You would think that at a time when trans rights were being relentlessly targeted by wealthy elites, a charity named after an actual riot in support of those rights would have the grit to stand firm by its people, writes Steph Paton ✍️

🚨🙏 URGENT FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED FOR DOUGIE 🙏🚨 I know we’re asking yet again… but please, someone help Dougie. There must be the right home out there for him 💔 Through no fault of his own, Dougie now urgently needs somewhere safe to go. We cannot let him go back to kennels as he finds that environment incredibly distressing 😞 Dougie doesn’t need walks or pressure. He just needs: • A quiet, calm home • A safe space of his own • A secure garden • Another dog or dogs in the home • Someone who is home most of the time • Minimal visitors He is a sweet, sensitive boy who will bond closely once he feels safe. An older, quieter household such as a retired person or couple would be ideal 🏡 Poor Dougie has just been so unlucky… and all he needs now is stability and a chance to feel safe. secondchancedogrescue.co.uk/all-dogs/dougie

Day Six since @networkrail said they’d unblock the mortar in nest holes at #ChapelMilton. It’s not happened. #swifts spotted 21 miles away today. #saveourswifts #unblocktheholes @WriterHannahBT

I was assured that this never happens and that it's antisemitic to say it does.

Press TV confirms a major diplomatic move. Iran officially demands Israel submit its entire covert nuclear program to international monitoring. The Zionist regime secretly hoards over 100 nuclear warheads while the West remains fully complicit. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Weird. Not quite sure what world these people live in, but I still get milk delivered in bottles three times a week. You can too, I expect: milkandmore.co.uk

PAUL HOLDEN STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO INTERVIEW WITH JOSH SIMONS ON BBC NEWSCAST Yesterday, BBC Newscast published a lengthy, forty-minute interview with former Cabinet Minister Josh Simons MP. The interview addressed how Simons, as a director of @LabourTogether, had appointed a firm called APCO Worldwide to investigate me and my colleagues. I was not told by the BBC ahead of the broadcast that the episode was being recorded or aired. I was not approached to respond to the lengthy comments made about me or the small anti-corruption organisation, @ShadowWorldInv1 , that I run with my colleague @andrewfeinstein. Andrew, who is also repeatedly mentioned, was also not approached for comment. I only found out last night, when a friend texted me, that the person who hired a major multinational reputation management firm that produced a despicable and defamatory report on me and my colleagues, and who reported me on the basis of these false and defamatory reports to the UK’s security services, was being given forty minutes to give his version of events on a major podcast published by our national broadcaster. To be clear, the BBC has NEVER - not once - approached me to comment on a story that is, ultimately, about me, my investigations, my family and my colleagues. They did not approach me when the story first broke, and they did not approach me for this episode. If the BBC had done so, I would have raised several issues with the way in which matters related to me were discussed. For example, Simons repeatedly stated in the interview that he instructed APCO to investigate whether my reporting or sourcing derived from a ‘hack’ of the Electoral Commission. The word ‘hack’ is used eight times in the interview. At no time was it acknowledged in this discussion that this allegation – that I might have received hacked materials – is entirely false, and I have repeatedly proven it to be false. Following the broadcast, I contacted the BBC to complain and to raise serious issues with the broadcast. I was contacted by the Newscast editor, Sam Bonham, to say the BBC would update the Newscast episode and further reporting to reflect some of my concerns. This has not yet happened with regards to the podcast, although I note some online reporting finally reflects a very small and limited sampling of my comments. I will wait to see if amendments and updates will follow. If they do not, I will be escalating this matter to OFCOM. In the interim, I have decided to share the full statement I provided to the BBC, which is produced below: I would like to put certain things on the record. First, my reporting on Labour Together and Morgan McSweeney was entirely factually accurate and based on impeccable, legal sourcing. My sourcing has been reviewed by multiple media outlets, who confirmed the authenticity and legal provenance of my sources. Revelations based on my book, The Fraud, has subsequently been covered widely across the mainstream media, including in multiple front-page scoops, in outlets such as The Times, Daily Mail, The Guardian, The National and ITV. The stories I produced in 2023 and 2024, and which prompted Labour Together's investigation into me, were subject to extensive editorial and legal checks. They were, I believe, entirely accurate reporting on matters of profound public interest, which included raising concerns about the character of powerful individuals like Morgan McSweeney. Considering the recent Mandelson affair, I believe I have been entirely vindicated in attempting to alert the public about McSweeney's past, including how McSweeney made use of £700,000 in funding that he unlawfully failed to declare to the Electoral Commission to procure power and influence for himself and Sir Keir Starmer. Second, Josh Simons states that he never intended for APCO Worldwide to investigate me or my journalistic colleagues. However, a copy of the contract between APCO Worldwide and Labour Together, addressed to Simons, has now been published. The contract sets out a scope of work written in plain English. It states that APCO will 'investigate the sourcing, funding, origins of a Sunday Times article as well as upcoming works by authors Paul Holden and Matt Taibbi.' The contract then states that the aim of the APCO investigation will be to 'provide a body of evidence that could be packaged up in the media in order to create narratives that would proactively undermine any future attacks on Labour Together.' The contract then sets out a range of potentially invasive investigative methods that will be used to generate this 'package', including 'financial investigations' and 'human intelligence investigations.' I provide the full text of this contract below. This contract is clear. APCO were hired to investigate me to produce materials that would 'proactively undermine' my factually accurate, public interest reporting. They would use a range of investigative techniques to do so. APCO then did exactly as was suggested in the contract, using these investigative methods to "investigate" me. This investigation has caused me and my family significant anxiety and distress. Third, Josh Simons was provided with a report called Operation Cannon. It is the result of a lengthy investigation into me and my colleagues by APCO Worldwide. I have seen a copy of this report. It makes a series of extremely defamatory and utterly false allegations against me. It identifies my home address and sets out private information about my family. I cannot express how profoundly shocking, outrageous and defamatory this report truly is. Simons may claim he never intended for APCO to investigate me, but on receipt of this despicable report, he then chose to use it. He submitted sections of the report to the National Cyber Security Centre to convince them to investigate me. The Guardian has published the email correspondence in which Simons repeated some of the substance of the allegations in the APCO reports. Fourth, multiple media freedom advocacy organisations, including the NUJ, have strongly criticised the APCO investigation and these related matters. They have all, to my mind correctly, strongly criticised Labour Together and APCO for investigating journalists producing factually accurate reporting in the public interest. Finally, I am still reviewing the Newscast interview. I will be responding in due course and I hope that the BBC will, this time, give me the platform to set out what really happened and why. Text of Contract Between Labour Together and APCO Worldwide, addressed to Josh Simons Dear Mr Simons We are pleased that you have selected APCO Worldwide Limited (“APCO”) to provide the following scope of work (“services”) during Term: APCO will devise a concise strategy to aid Labour Together. APCO will investigate the sourcing, funding and origins of a Sunday Times article about Labour Together, as well as upcoming works by authors Paul Holden and Matt Taibbi – to establish who and what are behind the coordinated attacks on Labour Together. The approach should provide a body of evidence that could be packaged up for use in the media in order to create narratives that would proactively undermine any future attacks on Labour Together. The material can also inform any future legal strategy that Labour Together might wish to pursue against any of these parties. The work will include: • Open Source Investigations (OSINT): Recovery and Preservation of Evidence • Human Intelligence Investigation (HUMINT): Recovery and Preservation of Evidence • Financial Investigation: Forensic Accounting Focus • Digital Forensics Investigation: Recovery and Preservation of Evidence • Stakeholder Outreach • Media Packaging and Dissemination

VICTORY! After months of cullings, finally we secured a written undertaking from the Govt before the Lahore High Court. Killing a dog in Punjab is now in direct defiance of a Court Order. Many thanks to Barrister Maqsooma Bokhari for this legal mandate. The law is finally on the side of the dogs 🙏🏼 @anilaumair_ @HomeStrays

@0Calamity It happened before, and started with culture wars. It wasn’t an algorithm then, it was the Gestapo, the KGB, the Stasi, the Battalion601…but the algorithm has no face, no flag, no country, no ideology. It’s a dictatorship without dictators, god help us finding how to resist

This is not dystopian fantasy. It's feasible. And the UK is hurtling towards it while the powers that be make sure we keep fighting each other in culture wars and pay no attention to the massive ongoing erosion of our civil liberties.

Possibly the most bizarre intervention from anyone over madcap period of last 48 hours was Margaret Hodge on Newsnight depicting the attempt by Keir Starmer’s office to secure an ambassadorship for Matthew Doyle as some sort of redeployment scheme for unemployed No 10 staff.

@DogDeskAction Also, dogs may have been mutilated and abandoned but they need adoption even more. My beef is with breeders, until we have all stray/abandoned dogs adopted and/or sterilised why on earth would we allow commercial breeding? Also some breeds involve inherent cruelty

The UK is tightening rules on importing dogs with docked tails to stop unnecessary procedures. Many street dogs lose tails through injury, with no records to prove it. If proof is required, what happens to the dogs who don’t have it? Will this be another barrier to adoption?

@DogDeskAction Politicians are always so clever, aren’t they? Bet they haven’t fully consulted with the main stakeholders in international dog adoptions such as rescue organisations abroad
