Blair Peach was born in New Zealand. In 1969, and moved to the UK with his partner, Celia. Peach taught at the Phoenix School in Bow in East London, a school for young children with special needs. #Defiance

Camilla Tominey This is Nike's Brazil kit. It may be a bad idea, but the argument about whether they would do it to any other country could be checked by asking them, or reading the online copy about the 2024 kits

Patriots. Woke up content? Happy? Indifferent?
Tune in at 7am when I’ll get you furious about Nike tinkering with the St George’s flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Good morning @lbc

I was sad on Friday one MP “filibustered” my bill to Ban Conversion Therapy talking for over an hour about another bill & other irrelevant conspiracy theory stuff.

The haters may win a battle but we will keep pushing to ban this disgusting practice they deny is happening.

Young men are being raised on a toxic online diet of Andrew Tate & his ilk, and it's doing them serious harm, writes Sam Delaney 'Sort Your Head Out' OUT NOW. ✍️

“Tate is, of course, the symptom & not the cause of this lonely and pitiful brand of modern masculinity.”

Ricky Gervais explains how Remain would have won the 2016 EU Referendum.

I don't think any tribute to Steve Wright can be made without at least a passing mention of the brilliant Chris Morris satire of his shows. (Morris was an admirer of Wright's, before anyone thinks he was having a dig.)

Liz Truss “49 Days to Tank an Economy” would be a better read from a credibility perspective.

Liz Truss popconuk

Don’t know who wrote this.

But it’s absolutely spot on!

Defund The BBC It wouldn’t surprise me if Defund the BBC is itself funded by shady right wing sources trying to suppress anyone not following a right wing narrative

#BorisJohnson backed Brexit because he wanted to be PM. He didn't care about you, or the country - or sovereignty, the single market or Port Talbot steel workers.

He just wanted to be Prime Minister.

And if you're still in denial about that you're the reason romance scams exist

The irony 🤪

Gillian Keegan MP God - a fairy tale to subdue the masses
Save - from what?

Gracious - privileged tax dodger
King - an incongruous throwback to medieval times

Plus: Glen Hansard and Lisa O’Neill perform ‘Fairytale of New York’ as a reflection after Communion.

Can honestly say this is the first time I’ve ever seen dancing in the aisles at a funeral…

The passing of Benjamin Zephaniah on the very day Suella Braverman and her band of ultra right freaks are causing their usual divisive havoc is a great reminder of why Britain needs far more Zephaniahs and far fewer Bravermans in its public life.

He, the best of us. She, not.

That winning formula:

- take complex issue (Brexit, Northern Ireland, Asylum)

- tell everyone it’s simple, if England was sovereign 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

- demonise those raising rational objections

- resign when you get close to having to implement what you said was ‘easy’.

Rinse. Repeat.
