Benjamin Netanyahu operates a brutal regime of apartheid over the Palestinian people. Instead of rolling out the red carpet, Rishi Sunak should confront the Israeli PM over human rights abuses, ban the trade of illegal settlement goods, and call for justice, equality & peace.

Such a sweet way of organising a refreshing ONLINE research meeting! Thank you Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster Uni @juditkormos & colleagues - see you very shortly

Thanks should have gone to @TinekeBrunfaut & the Easter bird flying from Rome!

My #polling station was only safely accessible by car. Walking, I had to pass a man wielding cutters going up the single lane road; going down scramble up a steep verge to avoid a lorry. I find it tragic that the right to vote, gained through such struggles is compromised now

ON THIS DATE, 113 YEARS AGO... “Hope you are well, Ted is still alive” Caroline Buckman was sent this postcard from her daughter. Caroline not only worked, but lived in the former Lewes library. The famous Virginia Woolf would often visit the library, eventually moving to Lewes

"On Saturday I wore my poppy and keffiyeh in Newcastle, marching for a ceasefire. I walked with very old and very young, Black and White, Muslim, Christian and Jewish all supporting Palestine and a ceasefire. We had a minute's silence in memory of all those who perished in wars.

Please listen to this. It's the voice of empathy and humanitarianism speaking. And tell me if you think it's remotely plausible to accuse her of being a self-hating Jew or an anti-Semite or a crypto-Hamas supporter. This interview alone reveals the bankruptcy of those smears:

We will be marching for a ceasefire on Saturday, not in competition with Remembrance weekend, but as part and parcel of it. We are remembering all those who have been killed in war, and we are trying to prevent more human life from being destroyed.

Looking forward to speaking at this event at Kyambogo University tomorrow, organised by Monic Rwaheeru, Director of The Champions Route Foundation and advocate for disabled persons’ rights in Uganda. KYAMBOGO UNIVERSITY @DeLCLancaster Lancaster University #strokeawareness #disabilityinclusion
