@GetYourGuide I am still awaiting your response here. The emails I receive keep telling me they want to give me a refund but can’t . The provider I believed I was booking through wasn’t the provider who offered the service, this provider had very low safety standards so I couldn’t not use them

[Ruth Towell @Ruth_Towell]

@GetYourGuide I booked a tour with you this morning to later be told it was being operated by a provider who have very poor safety standards. I have now been refused a refund, despite the bad reputation being hidden at the booking stage. Compromising customer safety over profit.

[Ruth Towell @Ruth_Towell]

@GetYourGuide I keep receiving generic email responses from @GetYourGuide that feel like they’ve been written by AI. They disregard customer safety & refuse to say what safety regulations are for providers, hiding the providers details & refusing refunds when the providers details are revealed

[Ruth Towell @Ruth_Towell]

@GetYourGuide I’ve DM’d you, I hope for a better response than the generic robotic ones I’ve received from the email line.

Another brilliantly enjoyable commission featured in today’s The Sunday Times Magazine.
I had a wonderful time with Heidi Thomas & Stephen McGann, photographing them in the beautifully converted Chapel they call home.

Lovely to see my recent commission for The Sunday Times Magazine filling a double page spread today.
A brilliant, albeit very windy, photoshoot as we walked along the outskirts of the village Christina and her husband Anthony call home.

Always a pleasure to work with @TheSTMagazine on a commission and I particularly enjoyed this one - spending a couple of hours photographing (and chatting with!) Katy Morgan-Davies for this piece.

The unfair world turned me and my child into a number. We both left our home, our books and our loved ones. The grief of both of us is infinite. We cry in each other's arms and we curse those who cause us this misery and homelessness.

Here's the first half of my interview with @ClarissaWard – about what it was like to leave Afghanistan and get home to her family

“Today is the day that a generation of Afghans have buried our dreams and aspirations and our lives.” Journalist @bsarwary says goodbye to Afghanistan. https://t.co/K0LsvV9668

‘The #Taliban have changed’

So where are the female journalists in today’s press conference?

[Clarissa Ward @clarissaward]

In awe of these women.

[Ruth Towell @Ruth_Towell]

@clarissaward is doing some incredibly important reporting from Kabul alongside a host of other journalists.

[John Berman @JohnBerman]

JUST NOW: Remarkable images from the fearless @clarissaward on the streets of Kabul. She shows us a store now doing a booming business in burqas.
