Superb work again by @lindseyhilsum humane, empathetic, yet clear and factual...about a 5 year old boy, crushed in the rubble of his family home, after an Israeli strike with no evacuation warning.

رح نناضل لآخر نفس و نوصل للعدالة لإلك، لمدينتنا، للوطن. هذه الصورة من الذكرى الرابعة للجريمة لحالها بتعطيني قوة ل١٠٠ سنة لنكمل. نضالنا حقنا و أبدي، حياة يلي عم بعرقلو التحقيق مؤقتة. @TracyNaggear@4AugLebanon@thawramap@DaleelThawra
Israelis considering it’s not enough to attack two capitals on the same night, playing with our nerves by breaking the sound barrier repeatedly at low altitude above Beirut. The amount of trauma resurfacing after all the explosions we’ve gone through is hard to describe
Heard almost across Lebanon... It may be a message to Nasrallah but it's a really awful, nasty thing to experience for people traumatized by the Beirut port explosion in 2020, not to speak of past war traumas...
The Archbishop of Canterbury on the thugs terrorising Britain’s streets: “it’s not British. It’s not English. They defile the flag they wrap themselves in.”
Farage calls for Parliament to be recalled. That is the Parliament he couldn’t be bothered to turn up to when ministers were taking questions on Southport but preferred to do a video saying he was worried questions weren’t being answered, throwing in a conspiracy theory or two en route
Deafening silence from the so called law&order brigade following horrific attacks on our officers.
- Farage is now tweeting about the Workd Health Organisation& female boxers
- Suella is talking about Brexit.
What is it about the far-right riots that has got them so tongue tied?
Parliament was recalled in 2011 in response to riots; Farage said ‘troops’ should be called in to restore order.
13 years on he’s singing a different tune but then he’s been fanning the flames. Parliament should be recalled and #Farage & his motley crew should be held to account
Today marks 4yrs since our Isaac was taken from us in the #beirutblast.
Even if I had all the words in the world, they would never be enough to convey how much I miss him, or how cruel it is that a photo taken in a moment of joy now adorns his headstone.
There is no justice.
٤ سنين، بتكوني عشتي بالسما اكتر من على هل أرض حياتي 💔😞…
��ليوم، بذكرى أبشع نهار، مفروض نكون بس عم نتذكرك و كل اللحظات معك، نبكي و نبتسم. بس بعدك و لبنان محرومين من العدالة. لاقونا بساحة الشهدا او فوج الإطفاء عل٤ لنطالب بعدالتنا سوى
My latest for @TheAtlantic after the tragic killing of children in MajdelShams. Lebanon is bracing for impact. Diplomacy in overdrive. How many times can we choreograph an escalation?
At some point, stepping back from this brink will become impossible. https://t.co/sKduoOqRbh
NEW: Liz Truss LOSES South West Norfolk.
Labour GAINS by 600.
Truss first former PM to lose their seat in a century.
Truss chooses to say nothing at the count and simply leaves the platform.
Alastair Campbell, "Harriet Harman produced a report which established beyond any doubt that Boris Johnson was a proven liar"
Nadine Dorries, "Are we going to get into that?"
AC, "One of the reasons your party has done so badly tonight is because you keep defending a liar, and other people keep defending Liz Truss who crashed the economy.. This is a story of 14 years and 5 prime ministers who have run this country into the ground"
ND, "Weren't you proven to be a liar?"
AC, "No, I wasn't"
Emily Maitlis, "You are funny, let's be honest. You call David Cameron a posh boy but Boris Johnson has been to the exact same school and had the same upbringing, is absolutely fine"
Nadine Dorries, "No no no, I have to address that"
Emily Maitlis, "They're all very privileged people, but somehow you chose the one you love"
Nadine Dorries, "Noooo.. Boris Johnson had no money growing up.. He knows what hardship is like"
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "He went to Eton, what are you talking about"
Nadine Dorries, "He went on a scholarship"
Rory Stewart, "No he didn't"
