Really appreciate @_LFI sharing this today. As a boy I was so inspired by the bravery of Rabin’s administration who did the hard yards of the Olso process vs the lazy inhumanity of their opponents. I’m astounded that those who provoked his murder have had their way for 30 years.

Thirty years ago today, Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by Yigal Amir - in what would later turn out to be one of the most successful political assassinations in human history. The assassination derailed the peace process and led to the collapse of the national left and the rise

Today, Israel and the world mark 30 years since the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin - a visionary leader who dedicated his life to public service. His legacy, rooted in courage, dialogue and the pursuit of peace, will continue to be an inspiration to us all.

Beautiful 2b reminded of how American politics can stir envy in my stiff British heart. Whatever ppl think of @ZohranKMamdani, you can’t mistake his campaigning genius - the clarity of message, the compassion & the fun, & most notably the visibility he’s given to everyday NYers.

… demonstrate commitment to quality in clienting, & follow through on assumptions about the dignity & care that should accompany older age. This should signal a new norm, inspire a new pattern book,& new forms of housing management. Why should anyone fall short of this standard?

No doubting Big Ben’s been well refurbished but the more important message Stirling Prize winners can send tonight is to affirm thoughtfully designed social housing for older people in the community by giving the win to Appleby Blue @UnitedStSaviour @RIBA

This is Jane Goodall’s final message recorded in March that was only to be released upon her passing. What an amazing woman. It’s worth a listen.

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that thisĀ has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency

If people could learn even a little from Jane Goodall about how to observe the natural world around you, what it means to be human and understand yourself, and how to go about valuing the life around us our world would be much improved.

Jane Goodall has died at 91. Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://t.co/axM4A5nkhh
