I've been invited to parliament next week to discuss the problems that victims of domestic abuse face in family court proceedings. Are there any general themes that anybody would like me to raise, please?

I’m beginning to think she might not be entirely honest…

Recently, out of the blue I got a call from @DKMS_uk - the charity that helps people with blood cancer. I'd forgotten that 5yrs ago I did a cheek swab... but the call was to say I was a possible match for someone in urgent need of stem cell or bone marrow transplant.

It's a chance to help someone survive who wouldn't otherwise. Unfortunately, having just been through the next stage, I've been ruled out of donating.

So to turn that into a positive, I wanted to suggest if you fancy registering to be a donor, if age 18 - 55 you can do it here... https://t.co/WOEAyPoQqu - and hopefully one of you may be the match that actually saves a life.

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan.

The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name Madeline. She carried her transmitter from safe house to safe house with the Gestapo trailing her, providing communications for her Resistance unit.

Wireless operators in France had a life expectancy of six weeks. Noor was actively transmitting for over three times as long.

While she was in France, every other wireless operator in her network was slowly picked off until she was the last radio link between London and Paris. It was "the most dangerous and important post in France."

She was offered a way back to Britain and refused.

In fact, in her transmissions to London, she once said that she was having the time of her life, and thanked them for giving her the opportunity to do this.

She was captured by the Gestapo, but never gave up; she made three attempts at escape. One involved asking to take a bath, insisting on being allowed to close the door to preserve her modesty, and then clambering onto the roof of the Gestapo HQ in Paris.

Her last word before being shot was, "Liberté!"

We are delighted that @Wera_Hobhouse's Worker Protection Bill has passed its final stage in the House of Commons, meaning it will become law before the end of this year.

You join me in a busy magistrates court, waiting for a Met Police officer to appear on rape charges.

Most people won't set foot in a courtroom like this. It's chaotic at times, the cases are varied, and justice is served.

Here's what I'm listening to:
