I met Sir David many times.
First time. He was looking at women’s health issues, researching on endometriosis & hidden conditions that don’t get enough attention. He was to soon set up an APPG. If the spotlight is now on women’s health, it is part his legacy.
Rest In Peace
Absolutely devastating news about Sir David Amess. He was hugely kind and good. An enormous animal lover and a true gent. This is so completely unjust. Thoughts are with his wife and their children.

Everyone knows Rafah was the last place of safety. Everyone knows there are something like 1.4 million of Palestinians crammed here, many in makeshift tents.
And yet we have the news that Rafah is being bombed & there will be a ground invasion.
The world looks on.
Israel is bombing Rafah and says it’s planning a ground invasion in the area. Israel declared it a “safe zone,” but now Palestinians have no safe place to go.
The UN described Rafah as a “pressure cooker of despair.” Israeli bombardment has killed 27,000+ Palestinians.

Noor Inayat Khan was a World War II hero who refused to disclose information to the Nazis.
And now she could be the first Muslim to appear on a British bank note.

I’m lucky to live in a rural area. I really feel for people in densely packed urban areas and in a flat with partners, families now on top of each other 24/7. Isn’t there a way to manage the access to park spaces rather than shut them down? People need some exercise, air

On a final note, this won't have been anything ethnic minority female authors would have wanted to do. it is far from trolling but professionalism to make their industry better & speak to their peers. People risk a lot by speaking up. It is deflating when equated with trolling.

Oh look, there is a male MP making jokes about being in the Chamber so they don’t look like the one told to stay away from the parliamentary estate <emoji>. Where is the emotional intelligence to understand how serious the situation is?

The Taliban are trying to erase Afghan women from public life, eroding human rights with no consequence
Attend March for Freedom for Afghan Women & Girls on 27 Nov to send a message for UK Govt to do more.

Thanks Rory I started to collate some of the many atrocities and abuses the Wagner Group has committed in Africa in this thread
The Wagner Group are not heroes. Ask the countries where they operate. See their background. No need to take any side
However whilst Russian forces are stretched and occupied, a chance for Ukraine in its counter offensive.

Lots of people who are on Taliban hit lists didn’t get out. The only reason we can’t mention them on here (unlike Pen Farthing) is how precarious & life threatening their position is. I really wish people would spread the attention a tad
Pen Farthing and his pets were assisted through the system at Kabul airport by the UK Armed Forces. They are currently being supported while he awaits transportation.
