Watch this emotional interview with Holocaust survivor Renee Salt BEM and her son Martin on @thismorning with Dermot O'Leary and @AlisonHammond to discuss her liberation at Bergen-Belsen, 80 years ago.

[H.E.T. @HolocaustUK]

Today is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Today, we remember the tens of thousands of Jews who were murdered there and all who survived against all odds, as well as the brave members of the British Armed Forces who liberated the camp.

It was a privilege to take part in this special event, alongside such inspiring people. Holocaust survivor Eva Clarke and Bosnian Genocide survivor Smajo Bešo’s powerful testimonies remind us of where hatred can lead, we must make sure their stories are never forgotten!

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, City Hall’s service provides an important opportunity to listen to the stories of survivors and reflect on some of humanity’s darkest chapters.

As global tensions continue to escalate and divisions within our society increase, it is more important than ever to remember we have more in common than that which divides us.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The truth that I have seen here today will stay with me for the rest of my life.

So too, will my determination to defend that truth, to fight the poison of antisemitism and hatred in all its forms.

Kamala Harris addresses young people watching her concession speech.

"It is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it's going to be okay," she said.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

Check in on your friends & colleagues - many shaken by the scenes of far-right violence across our country, incl our parents & grandparents generations who lived through similar scenes years ago. It’s heavy and triggering. As for others, your silence and apologism has been noted.

[John Spiers @squeezyjohn]

How dare you. You’ve spent the last 8 years weaponising immigration, dog-whistling to the far right, all while neglecting the working classes as your economic chaos makes them poorer and takes away their public services.

You did this.

[Abbie Healy @AbbieHealy02]

@carlitrotter Ahhh ok yeah hopefully it all works out, good luck!🫶🏻

[Abbie Healy @AbbieHealy02]

@carlitrotter Ahh ok no worries💔 how many of you are in right that could swap into left?

[Abbie Healy @AbbieHealy02]

@carlitrotter Just realised me and my other friend could swap into left so you and another would be in right would that be ok?

[Abbie Healy @AbbieHealy02]

@carlitrotter Hi we could swap two right for two left and then we would be in left and you in right? Would that work

[Abbie Healy @AbbieHealy02]

@georgiatoni_ Hi is there any chance you could please sell this for face value or swap for left before selling, am trying to get my sister in the same section as me :)

Listen to this Victoria Derbyshire interview with an asylum seeker…

…it absolutely blows the Rwanda narrative out of the water. THIS is what has been entirely missing from the national conversation - the viewpoints and motivations of asylum seekers.

[Dawn Butler ✊🏾💙 @DawnButlerBrent]

The immoral Rwanda Bill does not reflect the British values and kindness that I know and love.

Let's not forget that when we dehumanise others, we chip away at our own humanity too.

We must treat everyone with decency, as I made clear in this video👇🏾

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Parliament passed the Rwanda Bill last night, clearing the way for the Tories' cruel anti-refugee policy.

Today five people – including a child – died in the Channel as they sought sanctuary in Britain.

Instead of demonising refugees, we must show humanity & create safe routes.

Of all the new year (and Truss) honours, one really stands out: Rizwan Javed, a Tube station assistant, who has become an MBE for saving the lives of 29 people by talking to them on the platforms. The best of us
