So many pictures of murdered and maimed children. So many.
But also there was a beloved music teacher, Elham Farah, shot in the leg by a sniper to use as bait, then run over by a tank, in November 2023. A beloved old woman. A teacher.

I urge the UK and the whole international community to resist him.
Recognise Palestine now, before it's too late.
Crucial to be aware of this ongoing threat of ethnic cleansing.
In this moment, it's essential the UK govt turbocharges efforts towards Palestinian statehood and holds the US to account to ensure it keeps within the rule of law and respects human rights including self determination.

James Watt Brewdog's CEO is worth £262,000,000 he is refusing to raise the wage of his staff in London by the £1 an hour to keep them at the National Living Wage.
Brewdog is apparently a 'nice' company, but wage freezes don't seem very nice.
Do they?
A tweet by Veronica Sixsmith reads: "The Carter Center posted some beautiful photos from President Carter's state funeral. I would like to commend the photographer of this shot for finding the perfect angle here. The right-hand column is doing the Lord's work." Below the tweet is a photo of previous and current presidents and their spouses in attendance at the funeral. There is a column blocking Donald Trump.
Give this photographer a bonus.

Shame on every politician and journalist staying silent while @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social is trolled by the richest man in the world. Musk could not give a toss about abused children.

Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

I’d add only that a) It’s clear many of the political & media figures deliberately ignoring these facts are playing with the sort of fire we saw on our streets this summer & b) Laura Kuenssberg’s failure to point this out to Farage was an appalling dereliction of duty.

Some people in recent days have alleged a ‘cover-up’ over the grooming & rape of hundreds of young girls in predominantly northern UK towns, leading to calls for a ‘national’ public inquiry into child sexual exploitation

This is genuinely terrifying. With his endless wealth, he could have dedicated himself to building bridges and making the world a kinder, gentler place.
Instead, he is platforming Tommy Robinson a lot!
