@ContemporarySix Lovely to see the Valettes. I live in the south so won't be able to get to sadly. My grandfather Charles Holmes and also a pupil of Valettes was instrumental in persuading Manchester Art Gallery to take the Valette oils of Manchester scenes.
We know almost nothing about her, her political views, or what she’s done to get there. But now she’s in the House of Lords, she can make laws for the rest of us for life. Thank heaven Boris Johnson took us out of the unaccountable EU!
I often think - how did us Ukrainians, ordinary people with ordinary professions, get so brave, so resilient, so strong?
We are the ones who survived.
Once in school my history teacher said it was impossible to read about Ukrainian history without sedatives.
That's true. 20th and 21st century: war, occupation, hunger, war, occupation, repressions, revolutions, war again.
In each family there are people sent off to prison camps, exiled to Siberia, Holodomor victims, dead in WWII...
So each Ukrainian living now is a winner. The one whose family survived and got through the horrible past of occupations, genocides and wars.
We know what it's like to fight for our existence. We know what it like to protect our land.
We fight and we stand now. We know how to survive, and now we will win this battle.
A strong nation will become the nation of winners. Our children will grow up in peace and safety. Horrors of war and genocide must become something from history books.
A respected lawyer, attorney, professor, PhD in law, father of two children Oleksandr Polivodsky was killed in action yesterday. There are no words to express appreciation for the sacrifice and service of Ukraine's fallen heroes. Rest in glory

Sad to see @DominicRaab leave gov. PM should have backed him. I was Dom's PPS when he was Housing Minister & saw his commitment, grasp of the brief, was always curtious & honest. This has set a dangerous precident. I previously backed him for leader as he is a true Thacherite.
Until Wednesday, this was a huge hedge in Sawston, South Cambridge, that was a haven for sparrows and other birds and wildlife. Why did you chop it down, @Redrow? Why in the middle of the nesting season? @ChrisGPackham, @RSPBEngland, @SouthCambs, @RobGMacfarlane
The BBC needs its credibility restoring and that starts at the top. The Chairman of the BBC is supposed to protect its independence.
I don’t believe Richard Sharp has done or can do. He must now go.
Do you think that Fiona Bruce (sat here with her husband who is paid £3.9m a year to advertise for the Conservatives) should apologise, resign from Refuge and resign from BBC Question Time, for trivialising domestic abuse?
The BBC have suspended Gary Lineker until he apologies and agrees not to post anything critical about the Government on Social Media.
If you stand with Gary Lineker against the Government and the BBC. RT and Like this post to show your support for him.
This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker#ImWithGary#MOTD#ToryFascists
Gary Lineker risked his career to defend the world's most vulnerable people.
The Tories risked the world's most vulnerable people to save their careers.
