27 year old Zarifa Ghafari became Afghanistan's first female mayor in 2018. The Taliban killed her father & has vowed to kill her. “I’m sitting waiting for them to come. There is no one to help me or my family. And they will come for people like me.” inews.co.uk/news/world/afg…

The Vote Leave cabal promised us £18bn a year (£350m/week) for the NHS. That would easily cover the cost of Social Care reform. Vote Leave are now the Government. Where's the money they promised? Why are they raising taxes instead?

Congrats @thecct for inspiring a great article on a really important topic. Brill writing on #heritage crafts from Laura Freeman in the Times. thetimes.co.uk/article/8f0fe6…

Thank you Graeme Smith. That is all. #soniceforsomeonetogetit

93k NHS staff vacancies. £6bn spend on temporary staff to fill gaps. 55% of staff working unpaid extra hours each week. 44% saying they've felt ill with work related stress. NHS desperately needs long term workforce planning. Govt must make this happen this week. R/T if you agree

If you care about the NHS, please take two minutes to watch this video. It explains why the NHS Bill - which MPs will vote on on Tuesday - will be such bad news. Please let your MP know what you think of it. Please also RT so others can understand too.

Two people had the nous to try to help this hapless driver in a dangerous situation without regard for themselves. That’s what people do, day in day out. We just don’t see it broadcast in the same way as we do the bad stuff. #everydayheroes

As the drought warnings kick in and the great and the good assemble to speak crisis I am sitting next to one of many of my farm wetlands created by the beavers. The solution is obvious. Let them be. Reintroduce them swiftly in numbers everywhere. They will reirrigate the land.

The hashtag #GoHomeMeghanMarkle is trending. That’s grotesque. It’s 1st degree bullying on a shameless level. What on Earth does that say about the people of this country? How can we talk about the Queen exemplifying compassion and be this baseless and unkind at the same time?

Reminders for the week. Pass them on to family, friends and loved ones…

We thought the horrors that befell these two girls couldn’t happen again - wouldn’t be allowed to. Today, thousands of people deny the Holocaust and the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide of its own while the world watches and the “West” facilitates.

On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan. The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name

Ian Hislop, "Three British aid workers have been killed, whereas 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.. It's grim but true. If you kill people who aren't Palestinians, then it suddenly becomes unacceptable" Clive Myrie, "How has Netanyahu explained the deadly strike?" Paul
