Without asylum:

Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist

Queen would have been without a front man

The other queen wouldn't have had a husband

Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea

And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

The signs from Australia (their worst flu season on record), Japan (where they’ve had to close schools) and India indicate that this could be a long, drawn out flu season here with hospitals at capacity

If you haven’t had your flu vax get it

The @libdems.org.uk and I have written to the Conservative leader urging her to condemn the comments by one of her MPs who said large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

With more defibrillators set to be installed, it’s also important that everyone learns how to use these devices.

I’m urging Londoners to watch our short training video on how to perform CPR and use a defibrillator to step in and assist in an emergency:

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.
The Bishop of Birmingham has written to the Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick about his comments about Handsworth

Just watched the full 55min doc on Netflix:
Famous Last Words:
Dr. Jane Goodall.
Probably the most moving & poignant 55mins of captivating beauty that made me weep uncontrollably for sadness & joy in equal measure.
The wisdom and integrity of this amazing human will stay with me forever. RIP Dr JG ❤️
Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

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

THE ECHR PROTECTS US ALL

We must protect it, not leave it
When the Tories were last in office - according to international Human Rights Watch - UK was on course to make list of countries that abuse rather than protect human rights. Is it any wonder they want us to join Russia & Belarus as only European countries outside the ECHR
