Just finished 90,000 words of my book, Murder In The Gulag, about Alexey Navalny to be published by Headline Books on July 25.

Going through his investigations, setting out what the Kremlin did to him and his family to get him to stop, has been an honour.

Alexei Navalny had his flaws…

Aw, Hen, it's the will of the people.

Kate Ferguson Yesterday, your rag said rumours were that Susan Hall had won the London Mayoral election. Today, she took one hell of a beating. I don’t think anyone finds you/your rag credible.

My overwhelming feeling is of gratitude that Sadiq Khan wants to do this for a third term. I think his policies have had more of a positive impact on my life and the city I call home than anything my MP has ever done. And he does it all with quiet dignity #LondonMayoralElection

I don’t think there were jitters. I think there were just some media people reaching for a last minute drama to create excitement. This is actually what started it. Presenting news in a way which intentionally creates tension or drama which does not necessarily exist IRL.

🔴 LATEST: After Disappointing Election Results, The Tories Unveil Their Plan To Win Back Votes.

👇🏻 Please RT this important #SaturdayMorning report from #BrokenNews . #LocalElections2024

Liberal Democrats have gained 3 councillors in Rochford, overtaking the Conservatives to become the largest party on the council.

Samantha Smith As an ex Tory voter, anybody now standing under the banner of the Tory Party is a de facto co conspirator with a Party that has wrecked the economy and hates foreigners. I don’t care how hard these people work.

Detaining vulnerable people seeking safety in prison like conditions has been shown to cause serious harm. This government is doing it as a PR stunt ahead of #LocalElections2024 , despite knowing they will probably never get a single flight off the ground, bar paying one person.

Piers Morgan: 'Unless you can correct me...
Me: 'I can...'
Piers: '...when was the last peaceful intifada?'
Me: 'In 2011, the Tunisians... the Egyptians...'

Piers Morgan & I argue about the word 'intifada' & its use on college campuses.

If you've still got to vote, please don't vote for misogynistic bullies like Mark Goacher. His poor judgement in using this appalling hashtag is really all you need to know. Steph Nissen is an excellent, hardworking, principled politician.

Out and about, reminding people to vote, preferably #Labour

I wish some people would understand…

That it is by pure luck they were born into a country that people flee to

Rather than a country that people flee from

…but that’s expecting too much for the easily whipped-up political cannon fodder who believe what this govt tells them.

Brave and important thread. 👏

This latest interview with Emmanuel Macron perfectly captures the thinking in Paris of where Europe (not just the EU) is going & the problems it faces. Macron puts fwd many ideas on how to tackle them but doesn't always explain how we cd implement them economist.com/europe/2024/05…

I was going to vote Green today, for the first time ever, because I’m disgusted with Labour’s stance on Israel.

But Dawn’s right, isn’t she. It’s a wasted vote. And if Susan Hall gets in I’ll never forgive myself.

Fucks sake.

Everyone in London can take our FREE mental health check today. Simply go into a voting booth and if you find yourself voting for Susan Hall, you'll know you're completely insane.

Londoners: did you know the Tories changed the rules in 2022 to make the mayoral election first past the post? This improves the chance of us splitting the progressive vote and letting the Tory in by the back door. Don't let it happen.
