❤️ Bylines Network is proudly independent citizen journalism–
-no corporate owners or billionaires here. But it costs us at least £150k a year to run our network.
Please support us by becoming a Friend of Bylines Network. Get our monthly gazette, free access to webinars, special events, and more.
I will be attending. I think parents of boys, girls and everyone inbetween should tune in to hear what is said.
An advert for the Bylines Network women, justice and equality webinar, taking place Wednesday 15 April at 7 pm. The card has pictures of Ginny Smith (Sussex Bylines Editor in Chief), Anouska de Georgiou (a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein), Natalie Bennet (politician and journalist) and a logo for the No One Above campaign group with the names of two survivors of abuse by Mohammed Al-Fayed beside it- Isabella and Justine https://www.tickettailor.com/events/bylinesnetwork1/2140874
In an industry where 54% of publications are run by males, we are proud to say that 80% of our Editors-in-Chief across all 10 of our publications are not male. We are also proud to champion female voices, including this upcoming webinar on April 15th at 7 pm.

Ooooh. Rats and sacks come to mind
Why aren't the Daily Mail harassing Nigel Farage when there's a credible poll showing that his party is a hotbed of antisemitism?
This week we’ve had lawyers for GB News warning us that they are watching us closely. Which is fine, because they know damn well we’re watching them too. Alan Rusbridger’s investigation into their persistent breaches of Ofcom’s code on impartiality and accuracy has got them rattled.

“Australians can now live & work freely in the EU for 4 years and vice versa
That means they now have 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 EU rights than British people. Free movement offered millions of us fantastic opportunities but Brexiteers slammed that door shut, most shamefully on their own children”
A day fighting fascism with some
absolute legends 🔥
Please welcome Stella Rogers to the crew as we discuss one of the more imporant bills making its way through parliament.
At the next General Election, for the first time, 16 and 17 year olds will be able to vote, as well as other rules being added to enforce our elections.

Having taken control of so many councils last May, Reform now has to run them – and in many cases (Durham excepted) isn’t making a terribly good fist of things. A 9 per cent council tax rise in Worcestershire!

Farage accused of U turn as he says UK should stay out of Iran war
Farage, leading, as usual, by watching which way the crowd is moving and running to the front.

In the chaos in Iran, you might have missed the news that Russia's operational momentum has slowed, even reversed, on the frontlines in Ukraine.
I'm starting to find the number of senior people associated with Brexit who have 'prior commitments' preventing them from speaking at an event slightly suspicious
If I were Zelenskyy, I'd make trump come to the Office of the Presidency in Ukraine to beg for drone defense technology and then I would berate the living hell out of him and make sure he knows who has cards. I'd also tell him that Budanov has all of the #Epstein files for fun. #SlavaUkraini
So Let's recap for a second time.
Donald Trump is not only not protecting the USA.
He's not protecting our soldiers.
He's allowing Russia to put bounties again on the heads of our soldiers , just like HE DID HIS FIRST TERM.
he's also stopping or slowing sanctions.
WHO EXACTLY DOES HE WORK FOR?
“Ukrainian defense is proving to be durable and it’s the Russian offensive that’s struggling. The way to end this war is not to rescue Putin from a failing campaign, but to help Ukraine make it fail faster.”

“You’re a U.S. senator!”
Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽
This should go great
Have the legitimate concerns of local residents in #CrowboroughSussex about a Home Office plan to house asylum seekers in a local military camp been hijacked by far-right elements? We publish an account by one woman of the abuse that she suffered when supporting a Stall of Kindness in the town
if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying
Nigel Farage spent the week before the Gorton and Denton by-election campaigning for Matt Goodwin from, checks notes, The Maldives! Total genius, I hope he carries on with this stellar political strategy.
Lauren Boebert is asked to define “inflation.” It does not go well.
‼️👀 Former PM Gordon Brown has written that he found it “hard to find words to express my revulsion at what has been uncovered about Epstein and his impact on our politics” and the “time is overdue to let in the light”.

Even in a world with search engines and AI, 3 million documents are a LOT. But now that they’re out we’re seeing news outlets from Al Jazeera to the Wall Street Journal beginning to organize & make sense of the information. 🧐
Looks like the #EpsteinFiles are gonna be with us for a long, long time!
