Thankful to these incredibly courageous women from #Afghanistan who chose to give their first interview to BBC Newsnight after arriving in #UK. Both are senior judges .. and had to come here to escape persecution. If you watch one thing today, pls make it this..

I’m shocked how many people, who were born after WWII, try to explain to me, a Holocaust SURVIVOR, what the Holocaust was. They assume they know more about it than I do! What would be the term for this? Shoah-splaining?

Azeem Rafiq on #r4today: “Don’t think our parents had a choice - they looked the other way because they came here for better life - but I don’t want to look the other way” (talking about tackling racism). Once again, emotive testimony from former cricketer .. Difficult listen

I'm not an A-List magazine front page celeb or VIP but just thought if anyone is interested I'd share my experience so far of #Covid_19 ..The grimmest,most debilitating,scariest illness I've had since the childhood diseases. (I AM 2x vaxxed but not yet boosted due to chemo.) Fun.

I curse to the core of my being ST DALFOUR chestnuts, the jar of which I've been trying to open for 45 minutes. Had my carer not been in such a vile mood I'd have asked her but I had to bow and scrape to get her to do anything this morning. #Covid_19 #hungry

The original goal was £38,000. Generous help has come in with a US campaign push by @Philly_Vickie ; goal now £29,000. 44 years in my beloved London home--rented for years, bought when career took off but illness struck. Pls RT; prefer to lend? Pls DM. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/c…

25th amendment being invoked (briefly). Last happened with Bush and Cheney when Bush had an operation. Will, however fleetingly, mean that for the first time a woman will have the full command of the United States' executive branch.

To those asking, no this doesn't make Harris officially President, even for a brief time. Under the provisions of the 25th Amendment she will however be Acting President.

It's a difficult time for so many of us. It's hard raising funds, for anyone. Carol is a brilliant woman giving her life work to the world. Cancer,covid, chemo,crap. She fights everyday to stay alive can we help her stay in her home and take that burden from her. Giving hope.

I’ve never been a fan of HS2 due to its potential to destroy parts of England’s natural habitats and carbon trapping environments But on principle, we were promised levelling up and as usual we were let down As a lifelong northerner it is jarring to say the least

To my family, friends and those with whom I've been in business correspondence : #Covid_19 has devastated me so my apologies for my silence. I hope to be in recovery mode next week. 💖 🙏

Beyond belief.

Needs to get on his bike, get a job, and break the cycle of welfare-dependency.

Today I am supporting our midwives as they march and stand up against: Poor staffing Increased pressures Unworkable hours Burn out Unfair pay And more.. We depend on our maternity services for life itself, and midwives are vital to that #MarchWithMidwives #marchformidwives
