@LucyMangan Just enjoyed your latest Digested Week and can offer a bedroom solution for you: separate duvets are the way forward!

@ukhomeoffice @SuellaBraverman All this would be great, if refugees were given the *option* of going there, and freely chose to do so. It's not great when it's not an informed choice.

@kieranmc80 @UWE_Research @DrNickAddis @UWEBristol Love the project, and that @kieranmc80 video was accessible as subtitled - @DrNickAddis video is not. Please add Addis subtitles if possible!

What does fighting against gender based violence mean in Iran?

Nasrin, an Iranian torture survivor and activist, answers the question to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

As we remember the 32 people who died simply trying to reach safety a year ago today, let’s remember that this government has had 12 years to create safe routes to stop the deaths.

They’ve chosen not to. They have closed routes down. It’s as simple as that

@Baddiel Delightful. Possibly not one to invite round for a cuppa and a discussion on tolerance and respect though 🙄

Preventing asylum seekers from working hurts all concerned, & with Government concerned about unfilled job vacancies the sensible move is to lift the ban!

[Refugee Action @RefugeeAction]

Giving people seeking asylum the right to work is worth £300 million a year to the Treasury.

So today we're asking: Jeremy Hunt, do you want this cheque?

Wow, sign of the times in my email inbox from @TheSUatUWE . A timetable of when free meals are available to students and staff. Slightly surreal, but hope it helps those who need it.

@DrNickAddis @UWEBristol @MagillDr @PSqCriminology Hi @DrNickAddis - are these sessions recorded? Can't attend live due to other commitments.

[Lucy Luke @thepurplebikini]

@Peston Think I would have refused to go in!

[Lucy Luke @thepurplebikini]

@alandavies1 We always seem to find it easier to respect the known individual over the nameless many.

Still managed to work during #SavingSessions with #Octopusnergy. Charged the laptop earlier, and tea is cooking in the hotbox, the ultimate energy-saving cooker.

Beautiful, fun art with an inspiring theme of resource use. https://t.co/jeFdVxxoJh

A reminder.

We believe in the power of kindness

Kindness is what drives our people powered movement, & is at the heart of everything we do

On this kindness day, let's keep fighting together to make sure the UK remains a place of compassion & kindness & say loud and clear: #Refugeeswelcome

[Lucy Luke @thepurplebikini]

@DrNickAddis @andydnewton @uwe Looking forwards to watching the recording

[Lucy Luke @thepurplebikini]

@DrMarySD @lfoulkesy This one - really great and not preachy.

[Lucy Luke @thepurplebikini]

@ctmccartney As a mature student studying law/crim it is interesting what is/is not common knowledge. However - there's a tendency for lecturers to be happy that one person knows (me), and carry on - please be sure to explain to the youngsters!

[Freedom from Torture🧡 @FreefromTorture]

We rebranded the refugee "processing centre" in Manston so everybody knows who's responsible for it.

[Lucy Luke @thepurplebikini]

So glad I've got tickets for this! @livingspit on top form again by the sound of it
