Earlier this year, we got sight of a video of 9 year old Max, through Children In Need. Max has autism and ADHD and really wants to be a Newsreader. In the new year, he'll be going for his third heart surgery... but this afternoon, we arranged for an early Christmas present...

Time to agree to ban unnecessary Christmas presents, the best gift may be not buying anyone anything. Watch & share if you agree… Watch the full @itvMLshow (pre) Christmas special on itvX

We’ve been using @hootsuite for years but their price increases have just gone mad. Leaping from Ā£300 to Ā£1,068 annually. Does anyone use and recommend another system for multiple insta and FB accounts? Ideally something you have road tested.

When there’s an active shooter in a school, you don’t bomb the school.

I needed a break from watching the news and sobbing. Tough times. This was an excellent brief distraction although it’s not without tears

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

NEW: Weekend @TheNewsAgents The world has rightly shared horror at Hamas’ barbarism in southern Israel. But as Israeli forces gather at the gates of Gaza, a simple question- Is Israel about to commit war crimes? Has it already done so this week? https://t.co/QE2EOEWTPd

šŸ”“BREAKING: Israel has given Al Awda Hospital just two hours to evacuate. Our staff are still treating patients. We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients.

ā€œThe horror is so far from what I could have imagined, it's appalling… but humanitarian law is not opt in, opt out.ā€ @aliciakearns says Britain has a duty to be ā€œtough with our friendsā€ and any response to Hamas should be spoken about as counter-terrorism. @lewis_goodall

Giving a 24hr evacuation order before midnight isn’t a 24hr warning. It’s intentionally limited. If your baby was on a ventilator in the north - would you leave it or take it with you to die in your arms? This isn’t right.

My heart is broken for Israel. It’s also broken for all the innocent injured, immobile, old and ventilator dependent adults and children who are about to be flattened in Gaza. Violence of this scale is not the answer to terrorism. It breeds more terrorists.
