His dog Anya, already bleeding, kept hold of the attacker so her handler could live.
That same man, Essa Suleiman stabbed two people yesterday in a terror attack in Golders Green.
Here’s what happened next. 🧵
“The Prime Minister lied.
It’s now in the national interest he goes.”
Keir Starmer’s words…not ours.
We’re only holding him to the standards he set himself.
@O2 I contacted you for help because despite being a fully paid up customer for almost 30 years I cannot make outbound calls while trying to get myself, my wife and child out of the Middle East. In 24 hours I’ve had 2 messages asking “have you paid your bills” you have my number
@EmiratesSupport@emirates All this says is to call you but there is no answer? I just want to be on the next available flight to LHR or for your customer service to provide some service
@emirates@EmiratesSupport could you please help with my cancelled flight from Dubai. Second time cancelled and I still can’t rebook online. I’ve DM’d already and would appreciate if you could reply
