On point, as usual, @MarinaHyde:
"it will never not blow my mind .... the fact that at least 26 women – TWENTY SIX – have accused one candidate of sexual assault has not even remotely dominated the news cycle. ... It is just – what? – accepted? Expected? Priced in? Boring?"

How brilliant to join @IStephanieBoyc1 at @LinklatersLLP as her official portrait is unveiled - to hang at @TheLawSociety for years to come. A truly inspiring leader 👏👏👏

Can't believe this! I knew @AstaritaMark in one of my 1st third sector roles - supporting the @VSO_Intl UK board. He was inspiring - so pragmatic & focused, a great board member, and one of the reasons (alongside @AmandaBringans) that I wanted to become a fundraiser! What a loss!

LONDON: The Tories have changed the voting system to make it easier for them to win.

They cannot be allowed to do to London what they have done to the rest of the country.

YOU can make a difference.

Roshan at Finchley Road completely saved my bacon tracking down my phone after I left it on the seat in a tube carriage. @TfL he is AMAZING and so kind and helpful 🥳🙏🥳

For anyone still “standing with Israel” or trying to inject false nuance into the Israeli genocide of Palestine, this thread is for you. These are the things you won’t be shown on the western news. Look at them now. It’s not too late to adjust your perspective.

🚨 North Atlantic right whales are on the brink of #extinction. There are so few left that we know many of them by name & we know what’s killing them—collisions with vessels & entanglement in fishing gear. Sign our petition now to help protect North Atlantic right whales. 🐋✍️

Suella Braverman is wrong.

Multiculturalism isn’t the problem.

But we know what the problem is…
