Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe spent six years being held by the Iranian regime after visiting her family in 2016.

She told @EmmaBarnett how she's coping two years on from her release, and how she's still fighting for other imprisoned women.

Going to bed with the threat of a confrontation between Iran and Israel closer than ever. Many predict an Iranian attack within the next 24 hours. Israel promises to respond in kind. There will no winners, only further suffering and death. Very dangerous times ahead

People who idolise Winston Churchill seem to forget he was a big racist

It’s scandalous how the media have allowed us, and our politicians have allowed us, to forget the hatred shown against Diane Abbott.
