‘This decision should have been a catalyst for action, prompting the UK to introduce a formal Gaza family reunification scheme for families such as mine. Instead, the govt seeks to shut down possibility of reuniting in safety, fuelling anti-Palestinian sentiment’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"These babies, this mother, this elder should have lived, no matter what. There is nothing that justifies their deaths. And it is simultaneously true that the Palestinian infants, toddlers, children murdered in bombings, by freezing, by hunger do not matter less than these babies."

Dismayed to see @rcphysicians.bsky.social only today - literally years after doctors started raising concerns - finally issue an "urgent" call to the govt to address its deliberate suppression of resident doctor training places. This is not what good leadership looks like (1/3)

I’ve started reading this, & I think it is wonderful & wise & v needed today. It can be used as daily reflections during Lent, & has questions to ponder at the end of each short chapter, & can be used individually or in groups, but obviously it can be read in any way you want. I recommend this.

A wave of ‘muppet’ directors is coming - ordinary people hired off Facebook to front fraudulent companies, while the real masterminds behind the frauds stay hidden. It’s already a problem, but it’s about to explode. Here’s why - and how we stop it. 🧵

I feel very lucky to be one of the writers @dc-litchfield.bsky.social illustrated in 2024. I LOVE what he did with the text of 'The Boy, The Troll and the Chalk!' I am looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings (spoiler - I'm v lucky again!) & it's so exciting he is now illustrating his own novel!

My husband made some bread, so I had a lovely fresh slice with butter & marmalade & a hot cup of tea this morning. I'm writing a picture book text & it's one of those tricky ones where it isn't quite working. Sometimes they come out right all in a rush, sometimes they have SO MANY versions & edits!

Praying for this, and for all the hostages to be released, and all the violence to stop, and a just and lasting solution to the war. There are brave Israelis & Palestinians who have lost family members, who are coming together & working for Peace - if they can do that, then politicians should too.

How to fend off Reform on immigration: explain the positives of migration. Combat climate change. Talk up international obligations the UK has. Seek peace in the world. Encourage compassion and empathy above division. Labour has lost its way. Farage is simplistic - flimsy. Knock him down.
