Is it too early to put up your Christmas tree? The jury is still out in our UK office.

But it’s never too early to donate to our urgent winter appeal to provide warmth, shelter and supplies to women and their families in some of the world’s most challenging places.

Disgraceful.

[Voter ID Watch @voteridwatch]

I can't believe I'm writing this. I flew home early to the UK to vote for a better future for my son, but I was turned away at the polling station.

I brought a copy of my passport because mine is being renewed.

I don’t have a driving license or other forms of ID because I’ve been out of the country for over a year.

They wouldn’t accept the copy of my passport, I stood there and...I couldn't believe it.

I spent time and money coming home to vote. But I didn't mind. My family's future is at stake. My son's future is at stake.

I'd gone to vote with my whole family. We have the same address, and they'd all brought their photo IDs. But it still wasn't enough to vouch for me.

I’m a UK citizen. I've worked here, paid taxes, this is my home.

I've voted EVERY election in my life.

What have we come to as a country?!

Is this democracy? I wonder, are rich white men being turned away from voting? Or just people who look like me?

Around the world, #women and girls are disproportionately impacted by conflicts and crises they didn't cause.

Despite this, women are stepping up to lead.

The next #UKGovernment has the opportunity to support women leading their communities through crisis.

@nickwallis @lewis_goodall What a heartless, insensitive reply. Particularly disappointing coming from you Nick given all you've done to stand up for a group of people who at the time were similarly marginalised

[Ben Nolan @obi_ben_n]

Just horrible

Given Fujitsu's role in creating the deeply flawed Horizon computer system at the heart if the postmasters' scandal, it would be interesting to know if the British government is still awarding them contracts. If so, why?

@thhamilton This has made me nostalgic for when you used to be sign-off...

Have loved being a part of this. Can't wait to share the final product!

With thousands of civilians including children, reportedly killed or injured, our hearts are utterly broken for the people of Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territory.

The safety and protection of all children caught up in the violence is our main priority - now and forever.

A cada rodada fora de casa uma surpresa desagradável. E foram muitas nessa temporada. Desejos de morte, boneco enforcado, muitos gritos criminosos... Tudo registrado.

Mas o discurso sempre cai em “casos isolados”, “um torcedor”. Não, não são casos isolados. São episódios contínuos espalhados por várias cidades da Espanha (e até em um programa de televisão).

As provas estão aí no vídeo. Agora pergunto: quantos desses racistas tiveram nomes e fotos expostos em sites? Eu respondo pra facilitar: zero. Nenhum pra contar uma história triste ou pedir aquelas falsas desculpas públicas.

O que falta para criminalizarem essas pessoas? E punirem esportivamente os clubes? Por que os patrocinadores não cobram a La Liga? As televisões não se incomodam de transmitir essa barbárie a cada fim de semana?

O problema é gravíssimo e comunicados não funcionam mais. Me culpar para justificar atos criminosos também não.

No es fútbol, es inhumano.
