The Mississippi Attorney General’s Office announced it found an officer’s use of force was justified in the fatal shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. How can anyone accept that conclusion when Kohen’s family and the public still have not been allowed to see the body-camera footage? This is a department whose chief was fired after reports of racial slurs in his text messages, and whose officer faced a complaint alleging a racially offensive remark two days before he shot Kohen. If the footage supports the state’s decision, release it. We will not stop fighting until this family gets the truth. abcnews.com/US/wireStory/mis…

This is why we need Trew's Law. Christopher Poulter & Kevin Biggs have finally had their convictions quashed - 50 years after they were convicted on evidence from a corrupt officer. How many more people must spend decades fighting to uncover the truth? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwnv…

The Post Office and infected blood compensation schemes both offer applicants legal advice. The Windrush scheme does not. Ain’t that something.

Tafadhali enda chukua kura. Approximately 35 million Kenyans hold national ID cards, yet only about 25 million are currently registered to vote. This leaves a gap of roughly 10 million potential voters who have yet to commit to helping us liberate Kenya through a ballot revolution. Every vote counts. It’s worth noting that if our Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga had secured just a few more votes per polling station in 2022, he would have won. He lost by about 233,000 votes in an election where roughly 7.8 million registered Kenyans did not turn out to vote. Those who stayed home helped this regime win. We cannot repeat the 2022 mistake. Get your voter’s card so that we can liberate Kenya. Your one vote matters!

The UN voted in favour of a resolution to formally phase out the commonly used 16th century Mercator world map. The resolution rightfully acknowledges that the map’s distortions contribute to a ‘symbolic minimisation’ of Africa, perpetuating historical biases. The resolution encourages governments, schools, tech companies and international organizations to use the Equal Earth projection going forward, which depicts Africa and other continents accurately. In the words of Togo’s foreign minister Robert Dussey who spearheaded the resolution, "a fair world begins with a fair map." #CorrectTheMap

Waiting with baited breath for 229 articles and global hysteria over why this man is a Cambridge don
“Nigel doesn’t know and won’t know.” This is the moment Reform UK’s Head of Policy James Orr invites an undercover reporter from the investigative group @Verbatim_Media to arrange payment for polling commissioned by the party.  Watch the full investigation on YouTube.

I do hope that Cambridge University will announce an investigation into potentially illegal activity in the funding of Reform, apparently undertaken by associate professor James Orr, who has stepped down from his role in Reform today, following the C4 News exposé.
Now that Cambridge professor James Orr has been revealed to be at the centre of a Reform scandal, does this make him ‘unfit’?

Our yearlong investigation reveals Nigel Farage courting illicit funding as part of a plot to bring foreign money into British politics, orchestrated by his top aides and caught on hidden camera.

Lord Simon Woolley’s college has made a statement expressing support for him. They added they are aware ‘recent public discussion has placed both professional & personal pressures’ on him & they are committed to ensuring their community is treated w/ ‘fairness, respect & dignity’
Lord Simon Woolley publicly supported his friend & former Cambridge professor Jason Arday who was found dead two weeks ago. Now the Spectator writes that he ‘isn’t fit to lead’ a Cambridge college.

And an oligarch who wrote: “ the West may well be chauvinist, racist, sexist….but we should embrace that rather than apologise for it”. And the British taxpayer is giving him special treatment??? As a contributor to that tax, BM, please explain why you support those values?
The British Museum is part financed by us, the taxpayer. Why do its bosses think that American oligarchs are more important than us, the public? @britishmuseum theguardian.com/culture/2026…

Neither Peter Thiel nor Palantir had donated a penny to the British Museum. So how did he end up with a private viewing of the Bayeux Tapestry?

The swivel-eyed loons in the right wing media have learned NOTHING from Jason Arday’s death. All it’s taken is for Harry and Meghan to say they’re returning to the UK (which they have every right to do) and they’ve begun sharpening their knives - ready to monetise hate. As you know, I believe the U.K. should eventually evolve away from monarchy, the institution. But while it exists - could we please remember the members of it are human.
