Diane Abbott was the public victim of racist and misogynistic abuse, possibly even a hate crime. Today she had to sit in her workplace silently watching mostly white men discuss her as if she was invisible because another white man denied her the right to a question.

Abhorrent.

Phew. The endorsement we’ve all been waiting for

Thank you for all the lovely get well messages. Now back home taking it easy. Apart from answering door for flower deliveries. I knew that flower arranging session I did in the psychiatric hospital would be useful for one day

Is Rishi Sunak the only leader in Europe to express no sympathy whatsoever with the dire plight of the dispossessed and starving Palestinians under daily deadly assault in Gaza and the West Bank? Or maybe he finds himself alone in that corner with Geert Wilders? If so, what…

'But the world, or more specifically the West, doesn’t do anything. Worse, the liquidation of Gaza, though outlined and broadcast by its perpetrators, is daily obfuscated, if not denied, by the instruments of the West’s military and cultural hegemony: from the US president…

PM is real threat, failing to name racism, undermining rule of law with terrible Rwanda Bill, trampling over rights to protest. This didn’t need “urgent address” he could’ve said it in Parliament. Fake theatre from desperate PM of a dying , discredited govt

There are camera crews here from across the country at the #RochdaleByElection - but even in this day and age, there’s only one woman among them, Jo Crawford of Times Radio

Three very different political personalities all over the news today. The funeral of one who showed courage beyond most of humanity in seeking to face down tyranny. The latest ego-boosting by election win for a man who thrives on hatred and division and adds Rochdale to his list…

Every single press confernece he is asked the same question. When he started on ATP Tour it was “ah but when r u going to win Wimbledon?” Every single time. Let him enjoy whatever time is left of his career. He is 50 in the world, has a metal hip, a bipartite patella + 4 kids.

#giffgaff Follow up to previous post. I have been relieved of 2 payments one for £15 and the other £20 despite getting frequent texts telling me my usage warrants an £6 or £8 goodbag - nothing ‘goody’ about giffgaff.
