The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Her name was Amna al-Mufti. She was 11 years old.

Just one atrocity of many.

Sad news. I always enjoyed reading his writing. We need more like him, who didn’t just go after click bait stories.

Had the pleasure of meeting him once and chatting for five mins. Came across as a lovely person and also a Fulham season ticket holder to boot!

RIP Paddy 😔

Why on earth is the FA Cup 5th round draw on that well known hotbed of football fanaticism, the, er… One Show??! 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Should’ve been after the Villa/Spurs game, or if the FA want to be proper, get it on Radio 5 on Monday lunchtime.

ITV London, "1 in 4 firefighters who responded to the Grenfell tower fire in 2017 are living with long term health disorders, including cancer and respiratory diseases"

"There's a call for an urgent review and better protection for firefighters"

I truly hate games against that mob.
I could quite happily go somewhere and lock myself away where my mind would be taken off of it and then just check the result later.

But I know if we were ever to win there and I wasn’t there to witness it I’d feel sick.

With huge sadness I’m resigning as Vice President of RSPCA, a role I’ve held with pride for over 15 years. But their Assured Schemes risk misleading the public & legitimising cruelty. I tried with @ChrisGPackham to persuade the leadership to act but sadly failed

#COP29 ends in betrayal of the Global South. Failure of wealthier countries to deliver sufficient finance shows yet again the sickening injustice & inequality at the heart of this process. Solidarity with all who fought for better - the fight continues

Under the initiative #hungerdoesntwearclubcolours the Lillies have given donations to local Foodbanks at both Manchester City and Everton this season. This Saturday we will be holding our own Foodbank collection before the game against Wolves. Please donate if you can.

You know you’re having a good day when a member of one of the greatest bands ever follows you back… 😃

This is awful & heartbreaking. Schoolchildren from struggling families have pretended to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food.

Ending child poverty must be a priority for the Government
