Ben-Gvir’s claim that he previously prevent today’s hostage deal for months on end shows that Netanyahu & his govt chose to prolong the war in Gaza while hostages died & Israel annihilated tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Shame on all those who’ve supported this horror inc the UK Govt

A man with long is curly dark brown hair and a dark brown beard looks into the camera. His face is serious and he is wearing glasses. His is wearing a light brown jumper and white t shirt and is visible from the chest up. Behind him are bookshelves packed with colourful books.
The Tyne Bridge is pictured in the centre of the frame over a still, reflective River Tyne in Newcastle, UK. Either side of the bridge are buildings with a warmer glow as the sun rises. The words Northern Voices in white lettering feature in the bottom centre of the image.
'I'm still trying to figure out why it took me so long to give myself permission to write about the North East.'
Episode 60 of #NorthernVoices features writer @glenjamesbrown.bsky.social on his new novel Mother Naked and Northern myth, legend and language.

Image on light green background - Flo, white woman with a brown bob haircut, grinning and Wendy, slightly shorter white woman with long brown bob, Flo’s mum. Flo is stood holding Wendy’s hand up triumphantly. Text reads: Twice the impact. Your donations can be doubled until 12pm Tuesday 10th December. Zoo Co Logo is top left. Big Give Logo is bottom right.
Shows like Perfect Show for Rachel take years of R&D to carefully create & make best they can be.
Money raised will go to our next show's development meaning you'll help Devon our next big thing.
We have 2 days to reach our goal before donations close.
Can you help us spread the word?
Probably the “best” line-up too
