So humbled and encouraged by the fantastic feedback from the participants of the ACE supported ‘Life Through the Lens’ workshops at @ProjectZeroWF1 It was such a pleasure to meet these talented young people and facilitate ways of expressing their creativity through photography.

Actress Pauline Collins, star of film Shirley Valentine for which she was Oscar nominated, has died aged 85

The John Lewis Christmas advert is brilliant. It focuses on the ties that bind across family relationships and for those of us of a certain age who fondly remember our exuberant youth in the 90s, it’s rather beautiful and poignant. Refreshingly woke free. https://t.co/M4e3DOPV0Z

If you'd ask me to explain with a single video why there is so much bloodshed in Sudan I'd probably pick this one.

🇸🇩 Darfur, Sudan: 460 massacred in maternity hospital 2,000 executed earlier this week 460,000 people trapped 🇺🇳 Reaction by U.N. Human Rights Council: 0 resolutions 0 urgent sessions 0 commissions of inquiry

The footage and information coming out of Sudan is just appalling. The perpetrators aren’t even hiding what they’re doing. Where are the marches in central London?

Shame on all of us

As an MP, you pledge allegiance to the King. It's a legal requirement. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be an MP.

You filled the streets by the hundreds of thousands “for Palestine”, claiming it’s about humanity and dead children. But when Black communities are massacred, when African migrants are enslaved in Libya, when minorities suffer under authoritarian regimes, you vanish. All what

JKR rescued women in peril from Afghanistan. Set up a female-only rape crisis centre. She funds a children’s charity and has received death threats for speaking out on sex-based rights. So for a women’s mag to say this is sickening. Obscene. You’re a disgrace @GlamourMagUK

There is an extraordinary brutality to this, yet it is interesting that royal heads can roll on the testimony of one American women concerning Epstein's abuse, but no commoners' heads have rolled despite being steeped in the ‘grooming’ rape, torture and systematic abuse of

King’s Cross Station, London this morning.

When I say I love British culture, this is what I mean. It’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.

A visibly upset Kirsty Gallacher has revealed she was “kicked like a football” by a masked thug in an unprovoked attack in central London. “It’s very sad that this is going on in the streets of London.”

I grew up in an era when mainstream women’s magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women’s magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are.

Remember him? Bishop Wilfred Anagbe - The Catholic Bishop who came to the United States to testify on the ongoing Christian genocide in Nigeria. His testimony, among others, formed the basis for this increased awareness of the situation, that you see in America today. Well,

If you’re a Jewish person in the UK just now, you see: 1. Jewish worshippers being murdered 2. Jewish schools and synagogues fortified like war zones 3. Jewish events routinely disrupted 4. Endless protests in which antisemitic chants are heard, often by masked people It’s not
