The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

In a country like India, where politicians go to any extent to get the Prime Minister's chair, the only person who has refused to be the Prime Minister of India is Sonia Gandhi.

Tonight, God draws near to you because you are important to him. From the manger, as food for your life, He tells you: “If you feel consumed by events, if you are devoured by a sense of guilt and inadequacy, if you hunger for justice, I am with you. #Christmas

👉Plans are to reduce staff numbers and to prematurely integrate #deaf children into mainstream classes without concern for their individual needs.

The potential impact on the children's educational, mental and emotional wellbeing does not appear to have been considered at all

There is plenty of money out there. But not for deaf kids apparently.

[Chris van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈 @DoctorChrisVT]

A final thought - let’s not let the desperate state of public finances distract from the fact that there is enormous wealth in this country but it sits in private hands (this is Dari with her bro Alecks and mum Magdalena btw)

[Chris van Tulleken 🏳️‍🌈 @DoctorChrisVT]

This is Olivia. She wears hearing aids and goes to Laycock primary in Islington, a mainstream school with a specialist unit for deaf children (many of whom have additional needs). The school needs to save money and so has targeted the specialist unit for severe cuts.

Parents and pupils at
@LaycockPrimary today protesting vs cuts to the school’s UK-leading deaf ed provision. The cuts, proposed by head and governors, supported by
@IslingtonBC will have a devastating impact on the education of 64 deaf kids at the school #SaveLaycockDeafUnit

[Mike Hobday @MikeHobday]

Looking forward to talking to @LBC @Fraser_Knight today about proposed cuts to excellent education support for deaf children at @LaycockPrimary School in @IslingtonBC - #SaveLaycockDeafUnit

The human population of Earth has officially crossed 8 billion today.

It is estimated that the peak will be 10.4 billion people around 2080 sometime and after that the population should decrease.

This brave Iranian girl from the once conservative city of Mashhad is walking unveiled in the street in the midst of anti-regime protests there.

The fear among Iranians is gone. This revolution is led by women.

@UAHateNZ @GuptaPragnya Thanks for sharing!

@ShashiTharoor It seems most people have missed your point, if you’re referring to #RishiSunak’s origin as ‘visible minority’. We did miss a chance to have a person of non-native origin as PM. There was some crap on the lines of “desi beti, videshi bahu” !!

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

If this does happen, I think all of us will have to acknowledge that theBrits have done something very rare in the world,to place a member of a visible minority in the most powerful office. As we Indians celebrate the ascent of @RishiSunak, let's honestly ask: can it happen here?

[George Osborne @George_Osborne]

Rishi Sunak will be Prime Minister by the end of the day. Some think,like me, he’s a solution to our problems;others think he’s part of the problem.But whatever your politics,let’s all celebrate the first British Asian becoming PM and be proud of our country where this can happen

[Sajid Javid @sajidjavid]

I'm backing @RishiSunak - he has the leadership our country needs, and the values our party needs.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Seize the moment @RishiSunak - you’re the right person to now lead the country & restore some kind of stability/integrity. These are serious times and we need a serious & competent Prime Minister.
