Must be disappointing for the Tories. They almost managed to stop a couple of small boats.

International women’s day ! روز بین المللی زنان

Wishing better days to women all over the world, specially to women of my country, who are fighting for their basic rights.

I wish the world doesn’t forget about women who are struggling to live in peace and freedom !

'King Charles shouldn't be blamed for things his ancestors did.'

The Irish response when the King visited Ireland in 1911.

I told her 'I can't comprehend how we ended up here, we deserved better', and she quickly corrected me 'we deserve better, still'.
Indeed, we deserve better . We keep showing unequivocal resilience and determination to build a better Sudan. We deserve better.

I'm going through reports about the early days of the 2018 revolution in Sudan for a piece I'm writing (don't try this at home, bad idea). The more I read, the more I go back to a chat I had with Kholood Khair a couple of weeks ago, as were reminiscing about all the hopes we had.

One of our ongoing campaigns is 2 get Leicester City 2 create a network of roads across the city which bikes & pedestrians can travel through but cars cannot.

Private Eye Magazine on the Attorney General's cynical attempt to stop juries reaching not guilty verdicts in trials of those exposing government lies.

What is it about juries you don't trust Victoria Prentis?

The world's just breached 1.5oC for a whole year. The Labour Party have ditched their key green pledge. It would have lowered bills, created jobs, funded green energy & home insulation & fought climate change.

Happy 100th birthday to the Shipping Forecast!

First broadcast on New Year's Day 1924

My initial Met Office training included a day with the forecaster preparing the Shipping Forecast. It felt quite special to hear him rehearse aloud carefully-worded drafts to get it just right

On turning down an #OBE , Benjamin Zephaniah (RIP) wrote 'Up yours, I thought ... I get angry when I hear that word 'empire'; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised...'
