Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children.

RIP Diogo. You made us happy. We will cherish you forever. Devastating news and condolences to his young family, his brother's family, friends, LFC, Portugal and the other clubs he played for.

"Assassinations are used as one of the methods of controlling government opposition when all other methods such as detention or intimidation have failed." Anthropologist and anti-apartheid activist David Webster was assassinated on this day in 1989. He was 44 years old.

It's 36 years ago today since the tragic events at Hillsborough.
If you listen to one thing today listen to this.
Commentator Peter Jones with his final report on BBC Sport On 2.
Simple, but very powerful words

No one should go to a football match and not come home!

RIP The 97

RIP Breyten Breytenbach. Anti-apartheid poet and activist. Charged with treason in 1975 & sentenced to nine years in prison. On his release he spoke on our campus in the most profound Afrikaans tinged with a French accent. A courageous man, a life well-lived. Rus In Vrede Breyten

Gisèle Pelicot walking to take the stand today, her strength echoing in every step:

“It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them,” she told the court.

"I want all women who have been raped to say: Madame Pelicot did it, I can too. I don't want them to be ashamed any longer,"

Oh Rafa. What a sportsman, what a tennis player.

Epic test. Boks victorious 31-27. All Blacks as competitive and skilful as ever. Fab crowd reflecting the diversity and strength of our nation. 35 years ago who foresaw this crowd singing Eddy's anti-apartheid song, Give me hope Jo'anna at EP. We've come a long way. Never forget.

Every #DDay I come back to Harry Billinge ❤️

If you’re tempted to moan about something meaningless or complain today… watch Harry and think about what he, and many others, went through for the freedoms we all too often take for granted.

There aren’t many of those heroes left but they have so much to teach us.

We’ll be playing music to commemorate the anniversary throughout the day on @ClassicFM

Just SENSATIONAL from @EbenEtzebeth ... Is there any better insult disguised as advice out there? Hah!!!

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

At 3.06pm – the time at which the 1989 match was stopped – staff and players across the club fell silent and 97 biodegradable balloons were released at Anfield as a poignant tribute to the 97 supporters who died in the disaster.
