Matthew Parris may think your life isn't worth much, but thankfully the God of the universe thinks otherwise. You're fearfully and wonderfully made. You are not a burden. thetimes.co.uk/article/7ac1f…

Such admiration of the Princess of Wales’ parents who have kept silent over the past few weeks - in their shock and worry for their daughter they must have been furious at her treatment on social media - not sure I would have behaved with such grace if it were my children

I will keep banging on the warning drum of the dangers of #freeports and #CharterCities @campbellclaret @JimFunnel1 They are free for all zones for the wealthy, dark money, criminals, tax avoidance, low regulations, low workers' rights, low environmental protections. They should not be allowed! @VoteTrueAndFair
I am at a loss to understand why so much of our media neither seems to bother nor care about the reality of these Freeport scandals in the making. So important that the people of Tees Valley show the rest of the country they get it and kick out @BenHouchen .. maybe then press will wake up

Individual racism = What Frank Hester said. Systemic racism = Diane having to sit silently while others discussed her life. Camouflaged racism = Garnering money and support from her pain while continuing to marginalise her.

I condemn the recent kidnapping of more than 200 students in Nigeria. No child should endure the horror and trauma of being forcibly abducted from their schools. Children around the world — from Nigeria to Gaza to Afghanistan — must be able to access school safely and freely. I urgently call on all relevant authorities to facilitate a safe return for all those abducted in Kaduna State and I stand with their grieving families in these trying times.

UNICEF is deeply concerned for the safety & wellbeing of hundreds of children reportedly abducted this week from a school in Nigeria.   Abducting children is a grave violation. Schools must always be a safe place.   We’re calling for an immediate return of ALL abducted children.

On this #IWD24 one small but important thing diplomats, aid workers, and @UN @UNAMAnews officials should do to stand with Afghan women is stop calling the Taliban “the de facto authorities”. This euphemism kowtows to Taliban demands for normalization.

Happy International Women's Day all you International Women. Amazing how much free labour is asked for of women in this week in order to promote International Women's Day, so instead put your international feet up.

On about the fifth name you can see that I look up and I choke as I go on to read the next name because what I saw when I looked up was the families of killed women standing up in the gallery as a mark of respect. It took everything I had to not just break down in tears.
