Today marks ten years since Jo was killed. We remember Jo as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, campaigner and public servant. We remember her courage, her compassion, and her belief that we have more in common than that which divides us. 1/2

10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist. At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk

Reading this from 2013 ? It’s the other way round . Caroline is wrong . Stand-alone Midwifery degrees should never have been introduced . Midwives should be nurses first . theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

For those asking - no England's women don't have a curfew. Grown ups and all that

GUARDIAN: You said King Charles had raised Ukraine with Trump. Is he still helping you? ZELENSKYY: Yes, but I will not tell you how. GUARDIAN: What's he doing? ZELENSKYY: No, I can't. It's up to His Majesty to answer such questions. GUARDIAN: You have good relationship? ZELENSKYY: Yeah, we have very good relationship. We and Ukraine love His Majesty. You know, this morning when I spoke by phone with my wife, first of all — with all respect to Keir — my wife said, "Best regards to His Majesty." And then to Prime Minister, of course. GUARDIAN: Would you like to invite King Charles to Kyiv to meet Ukrainian people one day? ZELENSKYY: Between us, this very day, today, I want to invite him very much. I don't know from security point of view and so on. Yes, of course, we want to see him in Ukraine very much.

On the shambles that is @AvantiWestCoast . Expectations met (low). Got an earlier train but running late so any hope of getting earlier connection gone. Train I was going to get cancelled. Musty taste in my mouth from the “hot meal” limited options. Foul.

“Made a note in my diary on the way here. Simply says: "Bugger.’”

WTAF do these Mental Health MDTs do? These is an out the worst example but I am sent rubbish like this all the time.

Psychiatry as a profession…..you will not learn till there’s accountability and dismissal. Can the failing Psychiatrists from the Nottingham Inquiry be dismissed asap. Can we make an example of them to improve standards….now…let’s not wait for the conclusions. Our country needs to be in safe hands now and we don’t have time to wait for another disaster. I would like a call from @jamesmurray_ldn your private sec has my number. Let’s get rid of terrible Psychiatrists and shine a light on the good services. @rcpsych @nuwandiss @AllisonPearson @redrumlisa @Fhamiltontimes @Alison1mackITV @EmilyMayTV @GBNEWS @MartinDaubney

Angelina Martynyuk died on July 26, 2025💔. She served as Senior Sergeant and commander of the reconnaissance section of the 155th Mechanized Brigade. She was killed during mission near Pokrovsk. So young and so beautiful, she was only 20 years old🙈💔 Rest in peace, hero🫡🙏

This is Olha, she was 22-year-old. Russia killed her yesterday in overnight attack on Chuhuiv, Kharkiv region 🕯💔 She was seven months pregnant. Olha’s husband is currently serving in the Armed Forces, defending Ukraine. ​Olha worked as a psychologist at "Shans" (Chance), a local comprehensive rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, where she dedicated herself to helping children.

Leadership isn’t an HR process.

Good. Maybe Russia should fuck off out of The Crimea and everywhere else in Ukraine. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn75…

GLP-1 Inhibitors will be the next “outrage” drug in 5 years. “Why did nobody tell us”, law suits etc. Everyone wants a wonder drug. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62r…

Today I am in Britain. We will have our bilateral talks with Keir and a meeting in the E3 plus Ukraine format: President of France Emmanuel Macron, Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz, and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer. Our teams have already done substantive work to prepare all the meetings. Now it is important to discuss everything and agree on the key things at the leaders’ level. The main focus is our defense in the war, greater cooperation for the security of all of Europe in the area of air defense, and our shared view of diplomatic prospects – Europe must be part of the negotiations and must be strong. A meeting with His Majesty King Charles III is also scheduled for tomorrow. I thank the United Kingdom and all our partners who, through real steps, are helping us strengthen the protection of life and increase pressure on Russia for its aggression. Russia must end its war.

Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service? Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers. They succeeded. Please remember these heroines who saved lives:

Factually incorrect. Numerous French Resistance women enabled D-Day, and reporters such as Martha Gelhorn were present. The landings continued for all of June, July & August, which saw numerous female staff landing in Normandy.

We thank all the soldiers, sailors and airmen who sacrificed so much to enable this generation of boys to play on the beach at Gold Beach/Arromanches

Let’s never forget this, in the photo, is where nationalism and ethnic supremacy ends. Let’s remember why NAZI powers had to be defeated. This is why bloody campaigns such as that fought in Italy and Normandy were fought. #DDay82 Relevant now as ever.
