In 1963 my dad took me to my first term at college. He noticed some foreign students with surprise. I looked forward to meeting them so was annoyed. In today's i I read in anger and sadness that Islamophobia has been normalised in the UK

So on top of unspeakable tragedy, strain on emergency services, attacks on police causing serious injuries and more strain on those services as a result, now the local community has to deal with the clean-up. Disgusting

It won’t be enough in itself, but mockery goes a long way when dealing with fascist dickheads like Tommy Robinson @TRobinsonNewEra

@BrettZongker @adalimon @librarycongress @NewsHour This reminds me of two lovely women I met in the Randolph hotel, Oxford this June. They gave up their seats as my four friends and I were hovering to find a space for coffee. They were going to the Cotswolds and we were celebrating my special birthday!

@janemerrick23 I remember the happy days when you girls were small; we went by train to Southport for the beach a few times. You all loved the sand and sea. One day the tide far out then the next we had to climb onto the prom as the sea rushed in.

🧵On March 29, 2023, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia for doing his job.

He was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 16 years in a Russian prison today.

We’re offering resources for those who want to show their support for him. #IStandWithEvan 🧵

The last time there was a “beauty parade” at conference in a Tory leadership contest was 2005, when the frontrunner faltered and a new exciting contender ended up winning. A lot of the possible candidates this time will fancy themselves as the Cameron figure …

It is very moving to hear Keir Starmer, watched by her parents from the gallery, say that Jo Cox would have played a big part in government. I would dare to add that she would have been in the Cabinet #PMQs

This line I wrote two weeks ago seems to be more true every day

‘Possibly should have bought an umbrella’ is proving a surprisingly big theme of 2024
