[The Purple Pimpernel @Eyeswideopen69]

Tory baroness Michelle Mone, allegedly defrauded the treasury of £29 million.

Liz Truss spent more than £15,000 on in-flight catering for a single trip to Australia.

Meanwhile, Tories are losing their tiny minds, over a capital gains bill of £1,500.

Hollow and infantile.

If we're really going to halt & reverse the decline/extinction of wild species then we're gonna have to embrace some fundamental truths & implement radical change to how we behave on planet Earth. The great thing is, if done well, these changes mean a lot better life for YOU 🫵

Over the years I’ve lost two friends, one Palestinian and one Lebanese, and nearly lost a third, a French cameraman, to the willingness of IDF soldiers to open fire even though they knew perfectly well who they were. But they felt sure their superiors would protect them.

[Fascinating @fasc1nate]

On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan.

The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name Madeline. She carried her transmitter from safe house to safe house with the Gestapo trailing her, providing communications for her Resistance unit.

Wireless operators in France had a life expectancy of six weeks. Noor was actively transmitting for over three times as long.

While she was in France, every other wireless operator in her network was slowly picked off until she was the last radio link between London and Paris. It was "the most dangerous and important post in France."

She was offered a way back to Britain and refused.

In fact, in her transmissions to London, she once said that she was having the time of her life, and thanked them for giving her the opportunity to do this.

She was captured by the Gestapo, but never gave up; she made three attempts at escape. One involved asking to take a bath, insisting on being allowed to close the door to preserve her modesty, and then clambering onto the roof of the Gestapo HQ in Paris.

Her last word before being shot was, "Liberté!"

Another painting from the 'Human One' series tonight. This one depicts the feeding of the 5000, or at least the aftermath... The crowds have dispersed and Jesus is at prayer, in the presence of his Father.
more tomorrow 🙏

Diane Abbott inspired me as a teenager and I thank her deeply for all she has done.

"You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise."

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Labour party member Diane Abbott says she is hoping for public support from the Labour leader, Keir Starmer, over the latest appalling abuse & threats she's received.

Susanna Reid: "Well I hope he gives her public support" #GMB

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

Frank Hester's comments about Diane Abbott are abhorrent. His comments highlight the appalling targeted abuse, rooted in sexism and racism, that black and ethnic minority women in politics receive on a daily basis.
