General dogsbody duties in return for a free ticket! I don't think she has phone service there. It's just up the road from where I live!

Great to be part of an exciting week of music for Palestine. Our ‘Days Like These’ benefit for @amostrust.bsky.social comes days after #T4PLive and 4 weeks before #GigForGaza. Hopefully this will be a watershed month for raising funds for urgent aid for Gaza 🇵🇸 www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/3E0062...

Dear Colleagues, As backbench MPs in the governing party, you have a unique and vital ability to influence the decisions of our government. I know many of you share my deep concern at the scale of human suffering unfolding in Gaza. I am writing to urge you to use your position to press the government to live up to its legal and moral obligations, and to support the following measures without delay: Enact a full arms embargo on Israel, including on components for F-35 fighter jets, and suspend all military cooperation with Israel. Conduct and publish a comprehensive risk assessment of genocide in Gaza, in line with our obligations under the 1948 Genocide Convention. Recognise the State of Palestine immediately, rather than treating recognition as a bargaining chip. Set out how the UK will hold any nationals implicated in war crimes in Palestine to account under UK law. Ban the importation of goods produced in illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Deploy every diplomatic, legal, and economic instrument to secure an immediate and lasting ceasefire, the release of all hostages, unfettered humanitarian access into Gaza, and accountability for war crimes. In January 2024, the International Court of Justice warned of a “plausible risk” of genocide in Gaza, a warning the government must take seriously. UN agencies describe Gaza as “the hungriest place on earth,” where blockades and bombardment have cut off nearly all life-saving aid and over a hundred people, including children, have starved to death since this conflict began. Amnesty International has meticulously documented patterns of deliberate starvation, the systematic destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure, forced displacement of entire communities, and dehumanising rhetoric from political and military leaders—actions that meet the Convention’s criteria for genocidal intent.

I have written to every backbench Labour MP urging them to press the govt to implement key measures regarding Gaza.

I repeat my call here: I know you did not stand for election to preside over inaction in the face of such crimes. Call on the govt to act, today.

Shows a hand written notice that is pinned to a post. Notice is written in marker pen and reads "Thankyou to everyone who helped when my car got stuck on Good Friday. Especially the lady in charge of the rope." A smaller sign below is written in different handwriting and reads "Lady in charge of the rope appreciates the thanks. Always rewarding to help anyone in distress."

Spotted on a walk in Yorkshire this year...

Sometimes we all need the help of a woman. And a rope.

Keep the two distinct in your head.

One of the best things about the exec team at BNU, if I come up with an idea that’s not going to work, they tell me it’s not going to work and why. No sugar-coating, no artificial deference or demurring, just the unalloyed truth.

Honestly, if you’re a leader, surround yourself with people 1/

Over 100 journalists demand 'immediate and unsupervised' foreign media access into Gaza Signatories are calling on both Israel and Hamas to allow foreign journalists into Gaza to report independently on the war, something they have been barred from doing since the conflict started in 202...

Screenshot of a FB memory from 6 years ago. The text reads "I now live in Orkney! Gorgeous day to arrive in Kirkwall with glorious sunshine and warm weather! A lovely welcome from Stacey (and Luna) made it perfect!" It shows a collage of 6 photos showing the loganair plane on the tarmac, 3 photos during the flight showing us flying north over the Forth with the bridges in view and the other two showing Scapa flow and some of the islands laid out below us. One photo shows the peedie sea and Kirkwall laid out behind it. The last shows the view of cows in a field and houses behind that which was the view from the house I stayed in my first year in Orkney.

Celebratory #Cheese this evening shared with my visiting parents as I mark my 6th anniversary of moving to #Orkney. I've never regretted my move up here and I never forget how fortunate I am to call it home ❤️🌊 #SelfCare #AttitudeOfGratitude

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines.

I made veggie scotch eggs and leek and manchego rolls for a picnic today. Delicious...need to refine the scotch egg recipe though so the yolk is runny!
