Today in Milton Keynes. 2:15 at the city centre church. Not to be missed!

@janewhild Thanks

Work like this shouldn't be dependent on charity, but in the messed-up world we live in, it is. So if you can afford to, please make a donation. (I'm Alex's dad, BTW, so I can vouch for the quality of this project!)

We are taking part in the @BigGive campaign and aiming to raise £20,000 to support the adoption of a Frequent Flyer Levy in the next parliament.

Every gift that you make before Thursday 25 April will be doubled by @BigGive!

Help us reach our goal at: https://t.co/U5IKlrBf2U

The IDF spokesperson blames a "mob" for looting trucks in northern Gaza

The presenter: "When you say a mob, do you mean starving people who have been deprived of food because you havn't let the aid in?" #C4News

POV: you’re a wheelchair user and the staff haven’t turned up with a ramp, so you’re trapped on an empty train.

The emergency alarm is out of my reach so I have to rely on my shouting skills.

How would you feel if there was a risk of this happening every time you use the train?

How about we remember the Palestinian children in batches of 36 to set alongside the 36 Israeli children? There are 12408/36 = 344 batches of 36 Palestinian children, and then another 24, to remember, so here we go:

We have today written to @UKRI_News to express our anger and disappointment at their capitulation to the demands of @michelledonelan in relation to the suspension of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) advisory board

Just one of the "human animals" in Gaza.

In a recent email she said that if this is the end, she wants us to remember that she is a physics student, and that she wanted to teach others to be as inspired by science as she is.

This investigation by @Channel4News into the bombing of the Al Ahli Hospital is excellent, thorough, balanced journalism.

@HarryHamishGray ... but you can clearly see that they are not really wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists.

[David Chapman @dachapman]

@HarryHamishGray I've been cycling (and walking, driving and using busses) in Milton Keynes for 37 years. I love the city, but the redways leave a lot to be desired. They aren't wide enough for sharing between cyclists and pedestrians, and some of the redway/road junctions are lethal.

Great music this Saturday in Central Milton Keynes (at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone)

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear 🇬🇧,

Here’s your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don’t need a new system. You need a new govt that won’t destroy your public NHS to feed a private system. Your family isn’t safe in #ToryBritain.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Sarina Wiegman and her team should be incredibly proud of what they’ve achieved.

A heartbreaking loss for the @Lionesses but you have inspired the next generation!

After spending £140m on Rwanda and £1.6bn on a barge, we now have nobody in Rwanda and nobody on the barge.

Seeing students continue to stand in solidarity with us is so touching ❤️

Taking action is always a last resort. We've been telling our employers about the crisis in higher education for years now.

It's on @UCEA1 to settle this dispute round the negotiating table. #ucuRISING

🛫Bigger airports and more flights aren't good for the economy or ordinary families.

The only people they benefit are wealthy executives and shareholders who are wrecking our planet to make a profit.
