This is quite remarkable.

With others in Parliament, I heard the evidence of Dr Ghassan.

It was most the devastating first hand testimony.

That a state such as Germany won’t even allow him to speak is extremely worrying.

The “Rules Based Order” is in roaring form. After six months of throwing international law on the bonfire, all to shield Israel from accountability, something has broken. Israel smashes norms, and other states increasingly follow suit. Every week a new low. We are in freefall.

No ongoing risk. Attacker believed to be a 40yo man. Yet to be formally identified. “We don’t have fears for that person holding an ideation.. it’s not a terrorism incident.” - Webb

Today, none of United Nations's planned humanitarian missions to northern #Gaza was allowed through by the Israeli authorities.

We can't stress this enough: the Occupying Power's obligation to facilitate aid does not end when commodities are dropped off at the border.

#AccessDenied

Israel's military bombardment is systematically dismantling #Gaza 's healthcare system.

We've set up medical points, like this one in Khan Yunis, to provide vital care for displaced people.

On the first day of Eid, we got Eid gifts for the journalists, the true heroes, from our friends in America

Israel's 'investigation' into the killing of seven WCK aid workers in Gaza was led by the CEO of the company that supplied the murder weapon.

It’s here at last! THE DOG SQUAD: THE SHOW, out now! Ice creams and feather boas, performing dogs and amazing kids… and just look at that yellow and pink, it is DELICIOUS 💛🩷

this november we should celebrate the 15th anniversary of labor continually flogging this dead horse.

All these parents facing their first Eid without their kids, and all these kids facing their first Eid without their parents. Utterly heartbreaking on a scale that I don’t have words for 💔

Climate change.

The world’s biggest exporter of olive oil, Spain, has halved its production due to drought and extreme heat, increasing its price (at origin!) 112% since 2022.

It’s happening to other food crops too. Olive oil today, everything else soon.

A United Nations UNICEF vehicle has been attacked while waiting to enter northern Gaza.

This Eid al-Fitr, as we end the holy month of Ramadan, our hearts are with the Palestinians in Gaza experiencing starvation and ethnic cleansing. Palestinian children are celebrating Eid on top of the rubble of their homes, schools, and masjids.

Analysis by the ABC and David Killick in todays Mercury suggesting a consistent view that the “deal” struck by the new JLN members with the Rockliff minority Government isn’t that great a deal at all #politas abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Gutted to see the redundancies at openDemocracy - the UK is losing so many vital independent journalists and outlets at the moment, there are real implications for scrutiny of politicians and corporates. Solidarity with everyone laid off.

Edinburgh friends my bestie from Harris is hoping to be in Edinburgh with her daughter on Sat June 8th for the Taylor Swift concert - but accommodation is proving to be an issue.

Anyone have a spare room they’d be willing to let them crash in for the night?

Please join me in praying for the well-being and swift release of Laylan Nasser, a member of St Peter’s Anglican Church in Birzeit, in the West Bank, snatched from her family by Israeli troops at 4am on Saturday without giving any reason or saying where she is being held
