10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.

At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

@LBFlyawayhome I found this beautiful book for £2 at my local animal rescue open day today. Published in 2007, this copy looks like new!

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

It's no surprise that Nigel Farage hardly ever bothers to visit Clacton or turn up at Parliament. When he was an MEP, his attendance record was 748th out of 751. He's a workshy grifting gobshite.

We’ve had a drop of rain overnight - the sun is out now and it’s warm outside - Robin having a paddle 😊

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

At the table in London, we are all determined to take action for a strong and lasting peace in Ukraine and to ensure our collective security.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I always look forward to sharing my annual list of favorite books, movies, and music. Today I’ll start by sharing some of the books that have stuck with me long after I finished reading them.

Check them out this holiday season, preferably at an independent bookstore or library!

@vicgoddard @UCL_Holocaust I took a group of sixth formers a few years ago. They had to look after me- tissues, hugs, reassurance. I was completely overcome

@Philippa_Perry Into the final quarter. Happier than ever- what a time to be alive!
