So proud of @WelshDragonParr for the #Carnegie nomination for this brilliant book. Please #teachers #parents #librarians share this moving funny clever story of a boy with divided loyalties, with kids aged 10-14+ and all who love a real-world page turner.
Over the moon. Completely. Thank you to all involved with @CarnegieMedals. As Mick says: "The boy's all right." 💙 @KidsBloomsbury #Carnegies2025

Thank you to @Soc_of_Authors & @PhilipPullman @wmarybeard @MichaelRosenYes & many more for understanding how @guardian’s hasty & shortsighted plans to offload @ObserverUK to a financially struggling start-up will impoverish us all https://t.co/JsMW0eEi00

Well said, Yossi Beilin
Israel should use Hamas leader’s death ‘to get back to the negotiating table’ for a two-state solution. Yossi Beilin, former Israeli deputy Foreign Minister, tells #R4Today if the head of Hamas is not alive, then the main obstacle is much weaker.

Wise words from @Lifschitz_sha, daughter of 84-yr-old hostage Oded Lifschitz. This is now the moment for a negotiated ceasefire for sake of the hostages and the people of Gaza. I hope, wish, pray those in control listen to her. Play back @bbcradio2 at 08.00.59 today to hear her.

Unbearably moving eyewitness testimony and live phone video footage give this #Storyville @BBCTwo such impact. PLEASE watch it if you care at all about understanding Israel Palestine and what happened on #October7th

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Whether it’s the far right or far left there can be zero tolerance for antisemitism, Islamophobia or racism in any form. There is no place for such hate in our community. 2/2

#RefugeesWelcome means ALL refugees and those descended from them, including Jewish families and Muslim ones, all part of our diverse and peaceful suburb.
Hi @MetCC this has been shared with me. The inclusion of Zionists in this makes this a hate crime. This group will be in North Finchley tonight. They are clearly threatening the local Jewish community.
