I had a great time in Liverpool meeting those benefitting from free devices and skills training to get online.
Our Digital Inclusion Action Plan will make sure that everyone, no matter their background, will not be left behind as we move forward into the digital age
“Many people with talent aren’t able to express it in the digital age, which is why workshops like these are so important.”
As government launches its Digital Inclusion Action Plan, @peterkyle met residents @LpoolCityRegion who benefit from free tech & digital skills training.
Our Digital Inclusion Action Plan will tackle the challenges of digital exclusion to make sure everyone can reap the benefits of the online world.
@peterkyle met with residents in @LpoolCityRegion to see how access to tech, data and essential skills are transforming lives.

Yesterday i celebrated my 36th birthday. i feel proud to look at the song lyrics and know that NONE of them are true anymore.

BREAKING: Hundreds of American Jews are holding a sit-in at Congress and they won’t leave until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
As thousands protest outside over 500 are inside, including two dozen rabbis, holding prayerful resistance.
They’re saying “not in our names, and never again. And we’ll continue our civil disobedience until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Ceasefire is the first step to stop the ongoing genocide and over 2M Palestinians in beseiged Gaza, unable to leave…
We have the power to stop this violence…
We stand for justice and dignity for all people. The only way to ensure that for Palestinians is to demand a ceasefire now! END THE GENOCIDE ON GAZA.”
Power to these people 👊🏼
"Mom, I'm fine." The last words of six-year old boy, Wadea after being stabbed by an Islamophobe 26 times
A landlord in the US was so distressed by the Pro-Israel, hateful anti-Muslim news reports, he unleashed his anger upon an innocent Palestinian family who lived in his house. When the mother asked him to pray for peace, he stabbed her and then went on to stab and kill her six-year old son, Wadea. The last words the boy spoke were, “Mom, I’m fine.”
Look at what hatred and evil is being created about pure and innocent human beings who happened to belong to a land called Palestine. This is the result of people having been blinded by the darkness of propaganda, and starved of truth or compassion.
Though our hearts weep for the love of this one pure young boy, who’s life was extinguished - stabbed no less than 26 times - by one man’s vicious explosion of bitterness, let’s not forget the thousands of other innocent victims on all sides of this dark and gruesome war of propaganda in the land once called ‘Holy’.
The only solace I can gain from this, is in the words the small boy spoke as he left this blood-drenched, dying world, “Mom, I’m fine.” It tells us of the reality behind life and death in the grand scheme of things:
“Surely God's friends — no fear shall be on them, neither shall they sorrow.” (Q 10:62)
You can almost see a cloud of angels fly the soul of the boy, away towards the heavenly light, and through the doors of God’s mercy, as he enters the eternal home of peace and happiness. This is the first stage of never ending happiness, as he is given the glad tidings of Paradise and eternal bliss, and his book is recorded in ‘Illiyyun (the highest heaven); then his soul will rejoice and be happy, and will never feel misery again.
Wadea must have seen the ‘betweenness’, which most of us are veiled from.

Do you think children should be separated from their families in cases of deportation? This might seem ridiculous. But this isn't a joke.

Imagine if all children were on an equal playing field. Imagine if we all started at the line equal instead of 20 yards behind. Imagine children waking up believing that their dreams could come true. Imagine what that belief could do for the future of this country...
