Shameful how long subpostmasters have had to wait, some until it’s too late

Such an inspirational line of great #womeninjournalism award winners tonight at the US embassy - many of whom have given voice to victims of huge injustice 🙌🏼

This video, astonishingly not an AI fake, marks Meta giving up on fact checking and truth. It’s shocking

Those blue skies not going to follow us back to London but Pat Barker’s Voyage Home will. One down on NY resolution to read more of the fiction I love in 2025 #books
