It’s Anna Lo’s birthday today& I’ve been thinking about her so much the last little while. What she would have made of all of this & how she would be championing what was right. Her deeply human way of doing politics was always important, but feels especially urgent right now 💛

Delighted that over 340 new, well-paid jobs were recently confirmed in Belfast and Derry by local tech company Kainos. It’s fantastic to see a local company grow into a global leader while continuing to truly value its roots, creating opportunities and investing in our communities. These jobs will make a real difference to people’s lives, creating new and exciting opportunities for our young people to build successful careers here at home. This is a real boost for our local economy and the kind of investment that I will continue working to attract and support.

"Thames Water moves step closer to nationalisation after government objects to rescue deal." Based on Ofwat's past performance and record for decision making who can blame govt for being rattled by the whole thing. That said govt could and should end the misery for Thames Water's customers today, and all with nothing more than the stroke of a pen. It should be nationalised, today, this morning, this very minute, right now. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly0…

I once asked Henry Kissinger after a press conference what a superpower should do to avoid looking weak. ‘Don’t start a war,’ he said. He meant Vietnam, but it seems particularly relevant now.

🔥 Jennifer came from distant Colombia to avenge her brother, who was killed while defending Ukraine, the Ukrainian Volunteer Army shared the story of the young woman. She arrived in Ukraine in December of last year to help defend the country. Her callsign is Yura, with the stress on the second syllable. ⚡️She is currently carrying out missions in the kill zone alongside other fighters of the International Legion Battalion, part of the Arey Regiment. “My brother wanted to become part of history. I clearly explained to my mother why I am here and what I will be doing. She understood me, blessed me, and supported me,” Jennifer explains her motivation. During a previous rotation, Jennifer and her comrades had to evacuate a fallen soldier, carrying him for four kilometers through an extremely dangerous area.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped. Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself. A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Złamane kości, zmiażdżone palce i dopiero 21 lat na karku. Ciemna piwnica, smród krwi i kaci z UB, którzy nie znali litości dla wieku. Zamiast planować przyszłość, głośno liczył uderzenia gumowej pałki, rozrywające jego ciało. Tadeusz Klukowski - zapomniany bohater walki z komuną. Już w wieku 13 lat zaprzysiężony jako członek podziemia. Roznosił rozkazy i kolportował podziemną prasę. Członek Konspiracyjnej Organizacji Skautów i Ośrodka Krajowego - Kraj. Uczestnik akcji sabotażowych. Rozbrajał milicjantów. Aresztowany, torturowany i skazany na 2-krotną karę śmierci. 16 VI 1953 został ZAMORDOWANY STRZAŁEM W TYŁ GŁOWY PRZEZ KOMUNISTYCZNYCH ZBRODNIARZY TADEUSZ KLUKOWSKI "KRZYSZTOF". Nigdy nie zapomnimy!
