@JosephineCumbo I received a letter about that, it was actually quite upsetting. I'm supposed to inform HMRC every time I leave the country and provide evidence that my kids are in school in the UK (before September!) . I've been here for 10yrs not claiming CB this feels like harassment.

@JosephineCumbo Agreed, I've been looking anecdotally at private market performance among LGPS funds, it's hard to generalise / compare but real term performance has often been far less rosy than yesterday's announcement suggests..

I’m honored to receive the Pulitzer Prize today. Great thanks to the prize’s jury and board members for honoring me.
I dedicate this success to my family, friends, teachers, and students in Gaza.
Blessings to the 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023.
Blessings to the souls of my four first cousins, two of whom were killed with their husbands and their children. Blessings to the soul of my great aunt, Fatima, whose “corpse” remains under the rubble of her house since October 2024. Blessings to the graves of my grandparents who I will never find.
Blessings to the souls of my students who got killed while looking for food or firewood. To the school where I studied and where I taught, to the library that I founded and to which I added one poetry book before 2023.
Blessings to many more, many more.
I’m praying for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and JUSTICE and PEACE!

David Brooks of Broadstone articulates his concerns over the Govt's push for your #pension money to help the UK economy. Both the Govt and UK regulator are yet to produce solid evidence that a home investment bias will lead to BETTER financial outcomes for retirement savers.

Last night in Gaza, we operated on a 15 year old girl who was riding her bike when she was shredded by an Apache helicopter. She will be lucky if she keeps 2 of her limbs after 12 hours of collective surgery

Yesterday David Lammy was unequivocal and clear that Israel is breaking international law in Gaza. Today Number 10 contradicts that and says it is merely “at risk of breaching” the law. It is an extraordinary position to put the Foreign Secretary in - who will now have to say why he was wrong, or why Number 10 is wrong. For the FCDO press office to also contradict the Foreign Secretary is bizarre.

She was erased from history and died of cancer.

Massacre of 201 Media Workers in Gaza: An Unprecedented Attack on Press Freedom

Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza, 201 journalists have been killed, marking an unparalleled assault on press freedom in modern history. In addition to these killings, the Israeli military has prohibited foreign journalists from entering Gaza, effectively blocking external documentation of the ongoing atrocities.

This morning, an Israeli airstrike deliberately targeted a broadcasting van belonging to the Al-Quds Today channel outside Al-Awda Hospital in Gaza. Despite being clearly marked with press insignia, the attack claimed the lives of five journalists on duty. The five slain journalists were identified as Fadi Hassouna, Ibrahim Sheikh Ali, Mohammed Al-Ladah, Faisal Abu Al-Qumsan, and Ayman Al-Jady.

This heinous act underscores the extreme dangers faced by journalists in Gaza, who risk their lives daily to expose the truth amidst relentless aggression and systematic suppression of independent reporting.

International media organizations and human rights groups are urgently calling for an end to these targeted attacks on journalists, the lifting of restrictions on media access to Gaza, and accountability for those responsible for these violations.

Palestinian Journalist Ayman El Jadii’s Baby Born Minutes After His Tragic Death :

In a heartbreaking tragedy that underscores the dangers facing civilians and journalists in Gaza, Palestinian journalist Ayman El Jadii was killed along with four of his colleagues in an Israeli airstrike near Al-Awda Hospital.

El Jadii had gone to the hospital to be with his wife, who was about to give birth. Excitedly awaiting the arrival of his child, he spent time with his colleagues while waiting. Tragically, he lost his life in an airstrike that targeted the press vehicle parked outside the hospital.

The most devastating part of this story is that his baby was born just minutes after his death. He passed away without ever seeing his newborn child.

This attack has once again highlighted Israel’s violations against journalists, hospitals, and civilians in Gaza. The death of Ayman El Jadii and his colleagues serves as a stark reminder of the grave risks faced by Palestinian journalists and the deep losses endured by their families.

Shaban Ahmad Al-Dalu, who was burned alive by Israel yesterday, had just fulfilled his dream of joining medical school a month before the war broke out.

Just days ago, he wrote:

“I have never in my life seen anything more terrifying than the thought of a person’s death, their disappearance in a single moment, their sudden escape…

And the impossibility of their return. The human mind, with all its vivid imagination and capacity for understanding and creation, stands helpless before this absence. Were it not for God’s mercy upon us, for our faith that this is His decree and our acceptance of it, we would surely lose our sanity.”

I was illegally detained by the Israeli Army with four other journalists. Here's what happened:

On October 8th 2024, at approximately 01:00 PM, a car with five journalists (an American journalist, a Palestinian journalist, a Russian-Israeli journalist, a Canadian-Israeli videographer, and an Israeli photographer) was stopped at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank. The checkpoint separates Areas C and B, all the journalists are allowed to be on both sides by Israeli occupation law. They were held for an hour and a half in their car, while the IOF collected their documents. The IOF searched the car, going through personal items. The photographer later discovered that her underwear was removed from her bag, placed on top of their belongings.

The soldiers then illegally requested that the journalists hand in their phones, and when they refused, the soldiers pointed a gun at one of the journalists, hit him with their hands and the barrel of a gun, then dragged him out of the car and slammed him onto the concrete. When lying on the ground, they pointed 2 guns at his head. The rest of the journalists exited the car and the military raided it, confiscating phones, cameras, and personal items.

The journalists were told to sit in the sun, in 35°C heat on the side of the road. After an hour, the Palestinian journalist began to feel faint and requested an ambulance be ordered. The soldiers refused and didn’t let anyone move to the shade, shouting insults and Israeli nationalist slogans. After two hours, the soldiers handcuffed and blindfolded the journalists. The Israeli photographer had a panic attack and started throwing up, and after stating she was Israeli, was allowed to remain without a blindfold. The Palestinian journalist was left in the sun for two more hours, then he was released. In the meantime, the other four journalists were stacked on top of each other into a military jeep, and taken to a military base. There they were held blindfolded and handcuffed on the floor for two hours, while being insulted and interrogated by the soldiers. The soldiers told the female Israeli photographer that she should have been raped by Hamas.

At approximately 04.00 PM the IOF passed the illegally detained journalists to the police, who took them to the police station. The two male journalists remained blindfolded until arriving at the Maale Adumim Shai Police Station in an illegal Israeli settlement 1 hour later. At the station, the journalists were forced to be photographed in front of an Israeli flag with a nationalist slogan on it, while the officers were insulting them. A journalist was threatened with physical violence for smiling.

The journalists were interrogated in regards to their political affiliation and work, refused the right to see a lawyer, denied food and water until many repeated requests (the two male journalists were denied food completely). The two female journalists were released without charges at 11:00 PM. The Russian-Israeli journalist was released at midnight. The American journalist was held for three days and was released Friday, October 11th. The army confiscated two phones and one camera that they have yet to return.

This marks a precedent for IOF treatment of Israelis and internationals, but this is the standard procedure for kidnapping Palestinians across the West Bank.
