Sunak and Braverman are at odds with the far more compassionate views of the majority of the British public. Justin Welby is right to speak up. https://t.co/pUuy1SlIyy

The UK statute book used to contain a law designed to ensure a disease-free supply of women for exploitation.

The fact it’s no longer there is thanks to a woman called Josephine Butler – but hardly anyone knows her name.

That's why I just wrote this...https://t.co/ggpFV4Rbms

Google ‘forefathers’ and twenty million results appear in a split second; try ‘foremothers’ and the total’s less than 300,000.

This is the #story of one foremother everyone needs to know about

One of the most heartbreaking sentences ever written:

“The child was pretending to eat out of an empty lunchbox because they did not qualify for free school meals and did not want their friends to know there was no food at home.”

Best #book I've read this year, by far

'...by working out what we are prepared to die for, we might discern what it is we want to live for'

Thank you for #writing this and also for ruining my mascara, @_F_B_G_

I was told I could watch my dad's coffin slide into the cremation furnace via webcam. Meanwhile Boris and co are spaffing wine up the walls and vomiting on the carpets. What did we do to deserve these shameless bachanalian con artists?

Just as our cast began rehearsals for our #refugee play, our brilliant 21-yr-old composer & conductor, @ArsonFahim, a former refugee himself, left Kabul to take up a music scholarship in the US.

Two weeks later, the Taliban took Kabul.
Arson's family is still there.

On the inside we come to know who and what and how we love and what we can do to deepen that love; only from the outside, and only by looking back, does it look like courage.

A £4bn cut to #UKaid saves 0.4% of gov spending

£4bn is the combined domestic public spending on health in 27 low income countries. Supporting them instead would end the pandemic sooner,boosting UK revenue by £30bn this year alone

The economic case for the cuts doesn't stand up

I stand by our "foreign" doctors.
I stand by our "foreign" nurses.
I stand by our "foreign" staff, our key workers, our friends, our neighbours, and all of our superb people. They aren't "foreign" at all. They are us.

The walk to the pub last night was quite good.
