I hate to be the bearer of tragic news. I was working on a story about a young girl when I learned, through Dr. Saya Aziz Bajalan, an Australian physician working in Gaza, that she had suffered severe injuries. I asked Dr. Bajalan if she had any details about her. The only

In the 70s, Black & Asian people faced housing discrimination, racist violence & huge levels of income inequality. Their presence in inner city areas like Handsworth is tied to that history. If you want to talk about integration let's not shy away from talking about white flight.

STUNNED to find out that someone who ordered a cartoon to be erased from the walls of a children’s facility as it was too comforting and films people on the tube turns out to be a dog whistling racist who doesn’t like the fact our second largest city is proudly multi cultural.

The BBC would never do this to a leader on the right… they’d be too frightened of a Daily Mail front page etc.
I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: https://t.co/Q27Jy5fuX7

Great at to see @ChrisGPackham up for a fight. Anyway, just because you can’t see the snails does not mean they are not important. Oxygen is invisible but quite important… (And actually she is wrong, you can see them, they are not microscopic) @CommunityPlann1
So @RachelReevesMP says ‘some snails on the site that are a protected species or something . . . They are microscopic snails that you cannot even see, and they haven’t been able to build there’ . . . Or something . . . or something . Spoiling for a fight I feel . Ready ?

Dont forget that Rachel Reeves and Labour were elected on a promise to protect nature and the countryside. Even Reeves made videos promising to be a ‘green’ chancellor. She lied to you and needs to be held accountable
It's not just about "some snails." Their plan would only be possible by draining hundreds of square miles of Suffolk countryside waterways.

Huge respect to Lord Heseltine, stoically turning up, at 92, in that racist sandpit of halfwitted baby freaks, to teach them some history, remind them what an electable Tory party looked like and tolerate inanities that must be insufferable for a political titan of his standing.

The Greens requested interview on Laura Kuenssberg with Zack Polanski when elected, but were denied, with promise to interview him during conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester https://t.co/cKCg03EE6z

Call me old fashioned, but I’d suggest that supporting a country that is accused of conducting a genocide is rather more ‘un-British’ than protesting about it. A once human rights lawyer who betrayed any ethics he ever had for his political ambition.
