BREAKING: Israeli settlers are currently attacking the village of Al-Mughayyir in the West Bank, burning olive fields and attempting to set fire to homes with families inside. Residents are urgently calling for help from nearby villages to stop the attack.

At the age of almost 17, I campaigned for the then NUPE union to allow us YTS trainees working in a large NHS hospital to join for the first time, and they did. Millions of low paid, mostly women are paid up members of what is now Unison. I left when they chose to prioritise men.

Kendrick’s achievements extended far beyond victory over Nazi Germany. His unit also began gathering vital intelligence on the emerging Soviet threat. His remarkable life came full circle as he once again confronted dangers from both east and west. My book 'Spymaster: The Man who Saved MI6' reveals Kendrick as one of the greatest spymasters of the twentieth century: a man of exceptional courage, moral compass, and the spy who saved MI6 at its moment of greatest crisis. If you're interested in reading Kendrick's biography, I've left a link for you here: amzn.to/4dfzV9N (continued...ending)

Extraordinary launch video - never seen a by-election campaign which is such an explicit pitch to both the place and to the country

Jenrick "where are we?" "You're in a different party" This is hilarious. What a put down.

One of the most effective bits of political communication on the left I’ve seen in a long time. A message and a powerful messenger.

This photo of Pope Leo XIV from last year with Palestinian Catholics is angering a lot of the MAGA world.

This young woman, @MaeveHalligan is wonderful and courageous. And this is the speech of the decade.

I had the pleasure of helping to film this interview today and it's genuinely brilliant. Brian Taylor is the best there is. The full interview drops tomorrow morning, online, in print and on the Unspun podcast.

Surprised to discover there's a bunch of people who claim to be on the Left, live on narrowboats moored at the same location for years, and don't pay council tax. We set out the actual law here: taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/05/11/zac…

Last week I left my bag in a black cab. Assumed it was lost forever. Moments before I passed through security at Heathrow, the cabby—who’d identified me by my books—contacted me here. An hour later, bag in hand, I was ready to fly. He asked for a poem. Here you are, @garyvidgeon!

It is reported Emily boarded a flight to Paris so please share with any friends and family in France

"SNP Government 'pressured' Scottish Water not to publish sewage dump data before election" Well, well, well, would you look at that. What have they got to hide apart from 1,000,000s tonnes of sh*t? dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Hello all - I'd be tremendously grateful if you could help spread the word about a small Scottish tour I’m doing. I’m taking my ‘Bad Mood Rising’ show to small-ish Scottish towns that often get bypassed on tour schedules. Any shares would be hugely appreciated. Thank you all! 💚

Vatican newspaper headlines the Israeli razing of entire villages in southern Lebanon, including Christian schools. “After the bombardments, the Israeli bulldozers get to work”. Why is no major western newspaper showing this?

This is quite wonderful.
