Well worth watching complete footage before deciding who was in the wrong. You may well conclude that the Met do not in fact have anything to apologise for & that certain figures are misrepresenting what happened for their own political advantage. news.sky.com/story/sky-news…

The actual Sky footage appears to contradict this political stunt. It's a test for British journalism

Important at this critical moment to recall that #Netanyahu ’s aim for many years has been to persuade the US into a military attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Biden knows this as well as anyone and must not be dragged down that path. #Israel

Thank you North London Book Fest for a great evening at Ally Pally last night with the lovely Robin Lustig and Cecile Pin. Here's some pics...

First novels, belonging and identity were discussed North London Book Fest in a panel expertly chaired by the wonderful Robin Lustig. Hearing about the refugee experience from Cecile Pin and Leo Vardiashvili was moving and insightful, thank you so much for sharing.

I'll be in conversation with Cecile Pin and Robin Lustig at North London Book Fest at Alexandra Palace.

Great company, event and venue - come say hi!

The Monocle Daily: Is a far-right takeover of the EU under way? Robin Lustig and zodiak discuss populism in Europe, Denmark’s plans to conscript women to military service and the rise of a card game that’s taking the Chinese Communist Party by storm bit.ly/3VAPkLV

There are about 2m Palestinian citizens of Israel. Is it now the Home Office’s view that they are all eligible for political asylum in the UK? Could be interesting. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…

Every time someone like Lee Anderson MP talks about 'taking back Britain' or the 'real people of this country', my mind hears the unspoken word. White. I wish they'd be honest enough -- or brave enough -- to say what they really mean so we can all see them for what they are.
