@DonnaIRL So sorry to see this Donna 💔

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

I’d like to talk about my Dad.

He came to England from India at age 17.

He had a brutal childhood- he’s refused to talk us kids about it but part of his childhood involved living on the streets as a child in India

Coming to England saved his life. Literally.

He has worked - shop keeper, then taxi driver & has contributed to tax his whole life here. He refused to charge people for his taxi service when they visited hospitals, students who felt unsafe walking at night etc. He worked 7 days a week, and we lived month to month.

My Mum, at the age of 64, still works full
time as an insurance broker & has also paid tax her entire working life.

My Dad retired at the age of 70 during the pandemic as he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully he’s currently in remission 🙏

As soon as he was given the “all clear” he could finally pursue his dream - to feed those in need.

At the age of 70 he asked my Mum to teach him how to cook.

Every Tuesday he buys food to feed about 100/200 homeless people a week. He wakes up at 3am every Wednesday to cook the food, package & distribute it with a team of volunteers who also provide them warm clothing, cut their hair etc with nothing but love.

The volunteers are from all backgrounds, all colours, all ethnicities as are the people they serve.

He is the kindest, most compassionate person I know. To have people judge him based on the colour of his skin breaks my heart beyond measure.

I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, together with the unconditional release of hostages & the delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.

If you see any garlic floating your way it’s probably mine

Crop for 2024 let’s just say is well watered

Now going to pour a big glass of wine and think happy thoughts

If you see our garlic on shelf please buy it now,

Retweets very much appreciated

No change has been made to inform & support co-parents where the other parent is being treated for their mental health
Had Una Butler, mother of Zoe & Ella, been listened to in 2010 then Henry, Conor, Darragh and Carla would be alive today

Well, Nigel Harman’s routine was a Gen X woman’s dream come true, wasn’t it? Dennis Rickman? Dancing to Nirvana? And absolutely smashing it? Yes please! #Strictly

This statement by Sinéad O'Connor about the consequences of tearing the picture of the Pope:

[James @james_j_bailey]

Sinéad O'Connor was brilliant, smart and courageous as fuck. I hope she’s remembered for her sense of humour, too.

Here she is attending an anti-Sinéad O'Connor demonstration in disguise. Truly one of a kind 🖤

[rob delaney @robdelaney]

I saw Sinéad live many times. First time when I was 12. With my sister, with my mom. My wife and I listened to her all the time. My son Henry listened to her & I think about him when I listen to her now. I was so sad when her son died. I love her she is my hero in art & honesty.

Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. https://t.co/gSjPY8WjKL
