Dylan tonight after a flawless bake off season #GBBO

Our 190 incredible Labour women MPs, helping to make up the largest cohort of female MPs ever 🌹

Good job he didn't walk slowly down a road to protest against fossil fuels, otherwise he'd have been banged up for years.

I was set upon by a group of immigrants in Dublin yesterday. They gave me a triple heart bypass and saved my life 🫀😊

Just the Editor of The Spectator being body slammed by a cat… Will miss this place when it’s gone

I'm sure I'm not the only woman who recognises the tone of this carefully crafted email The need to dress up a reasonable and urgent point in layers of self-deprecation, jokes, apologies and non-threatening punctuation (!) so your competency isn't perceived as aggressive

It's disturbing, and worrying. @RishiSunak is playing a dangerous game. Trying to be the hard man... 'Oh I went to Israel'... but what he's doing is what the #Tories have been so good at, he's creating a new divide in the UK, which could have very serious consequences for us all!

Piers Morgan: “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th” Mohammed Hijab: “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan: “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” Wow

By far the most powerful Israeli response I have seen. This 19 year old girl survived the horrific massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri. This is her message to her fellow Israelis and to the world. Watch the whole thing.

“People with #chronicillness often don’t tell people when they are struggling. Because they are sick so often… Many times, you might notice they disappear for a time…this is when they are trying to manage their symptoms and are too sick to do much else.” buff.ly/3ZU23cv

BREAKING: Israel has beheaded at least 10 toddlers as verified by reporter Noor Harazeen in Gaza

🇵🇸 #Gaza: This statement by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s daughter, Maria Guardiola has put a lot of politicians, celebrities, journalists and others with a platform to shame: ‘My God. So is this really what we're going to do now? Just sit back and watch a genocide happen on the telly? Then decades from now, when it's in the history books, all look round at each other and ask, 'how did that happen?' For the first time, I truly understand how mass atrocities have been able to occur throughout history - again, and again, and again. We never learn. What does the death count need to be before someone finally speaks against this madness and urges restraint, not more arms? 10,000? 100,000? A million? More? When have enough Palestinians died? I get that lots of us are scared to speak up. I get we're afraid to say the "wrong thing. But I won't sit by in silence and live with the fact that I never spoke up when an atrocity on this scale was committed because of fear. We can express our complete condemnation for what the Israeli govt are doing and also assert our unwavering belief in the equal value of Palestinian lives, without inciting hatred against Jewish communities - another persecuted people. Indeed, many Jewish and Israeli people, in the midst of their deep grief and knowing the pain of persecution too well, have had the bravery and strength to be the very first to do so. This is quite simple. We are watching an occupied, oppressed people face annihilation by a nuclear state with the full backing of the western world. This is not - and has never been - an 'equal fight'. Right now, it is a massacre on a scale I don't think I've ever seen in my life. 6,000 bombs dropped in 6 days already. On a strip of land just 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide at its widest point. Whole neighbourhoods flattened. Families wiped out. Hospitals collapsing under the weight of the casualties. On a population of 2 million - half of them children. 70% of them refugees. And now, the forced movement of 1 million people. A choice of forced migration or death is ethnic cleansing. The fact that it is impossible for that many to leave in that time means that this is now a genocide. We have gone way, way beyond wishy washy 'praying for peace', 'all life is precious' IG statements, posted to show you've done your bit of performative activism. Show you mean it. If you have any kind of platform right now, please use it. Speak. Because it's becoming glaringly obvious that the world is happy to walk into an unspeakable horror that we didn't even bother to try to prevent.’ #Palestine 🇵🇸

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population. There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel. I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians. And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza. Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold. Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.

Horrific crimes against civilians are not redeemed by horrific crimes against civilians.

Researching the past will flood you with the work of historians. Research further back and you'll need the archeologists. Further still and the paleontologists have your answers. Where they drop off, the geologists pick up. Beyond their realm, only the physicists can help you.

The first research study testing the absorbent qualities of menstrual products with actual blood was published... last week. Literally, last week. Previous testing tended to use liquids such as saline or water. Let's take a look and see what they found...

We couldn’t agree with this more. Please RT if you do too.
