For more than 20 years, Canadian photographer François Brunelle has tracked down strangers who look almost identical despite having no known family connection.
He photographed these unrelated “twins” together, often as they meet for the first time.
Andy Burnham says he wants to release low-risk female prisoners early.
I suggest he starts with these three women from Palestine Action who were jailed as “terrorists” for trying to stop the mass murder of children in Gaza.
Good news!
Sandie Peggie has been granted leave to appeal on 13 grounds in her employment tribunal case against NHS Fife.
Judge James Tayler of the Employment Appeal Tribunal found there are reasonable grounds for the challenge to proceed to a full hearing (expected in the first half of 2027).
This is a significant step forward after the December 2025 judgement that upheld only some of her harassment claims while dismissing others (including all claims against Dr Upton).
Sandie has shown incredible courage standing up for single-sex spaces and the rights of women in the workplace. Well done to her and her brilliant legal team. The fight continues and justice is moving forward.
I look forward to returning to Dundee to cheer Sandie on and to delicious snacks from Fisher & Donaldson.
Today, I saw a Palestinian child picking up the brain of another Palestinian child.
Yes the actual brain.
He used a small rag to pick it up.
I also saw an infant ejected from his mother’s womb, due to the sheer power of the explosives Israel used in Gaza last night.
But the most inhumane thing was witnessing someone open up a baby’s soft pink onesie - only to discover pieces of bones and diaper inside.
Israel evaporated her little body with chemical weapons that are internationally banned.

The argument made by the copper here – that police don't get to choose which laws to enforce and which ones not to – is complete nonsense.
Police make an active decision not to storm Glastonbury and arrest everyone in possession of cannabis, as they know it would be a disproportionate use of their time and resources.
They choose not to throw all their resources at tracking down bike thieves in London, as they know there are more serious crimes they should prioritise.
They choose not to throw all their resources into enforcing the hosepipe ban, as they know it would be disproportionate and ineffective.
They could also make a decision not to have 50+ officers forcibly arresting old age pensioners for holding up signs.
Thank you Netherlands. Thousands of children’s shoes line Dutch beach in memory of ~22,000 Palestinian children killed in Gaza!
Don't stop talking about Gaza.
🚨 BREAKING:
Dutch doctors and activists display 1,400 pairs of white shoes in a square in the Netherlands in memory of fallen healthcare workers in Gaza.
Rachel Fletcher, a police officer who bravely stood up against the vile policy of letting male officers forcibly search female detainees, was fired on Friday, IMO as retaliation. She's a single mum with two kids. I've donated to the GoFundMe for her https://t.co/EOc4SXjsSP
People of Clacton, @ByDonkeys have absolutely lifted the lid here.
You pay Farage £94k to be your MP. He’s hardly ever there.
Meanwhile his 12 other jobs have paid him £1,182,498 since the election, Mayfair gold dealers, tax-avoidance passport hustlers, US anti-abortion outfits, thousands of Cameo videos, the lot.
He who pays the piper dictates the tone.
When the bigger cheques come from multimillionaires and foreign interests, what makes you think he’s representing you?
