With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an…

I was willing to give Milla Gauge the benefit of the doubt as she wasn't responsible for the shoddy decision making that her Brighton & Hove Labour Party predecessor supported to close Save Bright Start Nursery, Brighton under 2s room, but her willingness to lie for political gain shows she's no different. 😡

Bright Start Nursery isn’t being moved. Brighton & Hove Labour Party has scrapped all new provisions for under 2s. Can Labour council candidates at least be honest about this?

Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.

A stunning example. of how public ownership can MAKE MONEY. £8M profit in one year to be precise.

Great meeting just now with Cllr Sue Shanks and the inspirational and incredibly knowledgeable Dr Suda Perera of Save Bright Start Nursery, Brighton nursery campaign.

Clear that Labour claims to have 'saved' Bright Start are no more than hot air and their engagement with parents has been very poor

Worth sharing probably the most important academic advice I've received from a mentor - I hold onto this every day, particularly as I come closer to exploring alternatives.

Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital is now completely out of service. These are the scenes of destruction left behind after Israeli forces withdrew from the facility.

Thanks to the Armenian people. Our struggle is one; both of our people faced and faces similar campaigns of ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and dehumanization.

It's also worth mentioning that Armenian refugees came to Palestine, including Gaza, during the Armenian genocide

Palestinians are being killed because of famine in Gaza, and they are also being killed trying to reach the aid dropped into the sea. This is a genocide. This is evil.

Earlier I had to do some marking long-hand, on a print-out, with a pen. And it was really quick, and simple, and I didn't need wifi, and I didn't have a headache afterwards. We were so fucked over by Turnitin.
