Hetty Baynes is the actor in this ad. She co-wrote a film with Ken Russell, her then-husband. Why does my brain retain information like this, yet I can’t remember my own PIN number?

Rest in Peace Garland Green

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Alf Dubs, a Labour party member for more than 50 years, accused Starmer’s government of using asylum like a “political football” while courting voters on the right of the Conservative party and of Reform.

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

Rest in Peace

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

She’s a wonder, Wonder Woman ❤️

Rest in Peace to Claudette Colvin ❤️

And if you or I had spent three weeks generating hundreds of thousands of non-consensual nudes and child sexual abuse images, while bragging about, and profiting from, so doing, do you think the govt would keep changing the subject to whether or not children can see those images?

*posting on twitter* oh ho, I’ve made a wry observation. Better make sure a bunch of pedophiles see it

Had to go with my dad’s workmates. Parents thought I was too young to go on my own

“We’re not finished yet; there’s a lot more to do.” In #GazaCity, Doctors Without Borders teams help 300 children receive medical care each day. Watch Dr. Jennifer Hulse explain our vital services and what it would mean for Palestinians if Israel stops us from working in #Gaza.*

And a good morning to everyone reading the “later life” section of Brigitte Bardot’s wikipedia page for the first time

Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial. We must force the government to act, before it’s too late ⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/3e3320

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Rare foray onto Facebook today. There’s an outpouring of love for Jimmy Cliff on my timeline. And rightly so. Rest in Peace youtu.be/twf7LhQIBkQ?...

The only Legitimate Concerns about asylum seekers are concerns for their well being and safety. For a rich country like ours to incessantly whine about these people as if we are their victims is perhaps the single most pathetic spectacle in British politics over the past quarter century.

What does Shabana Mahmood think would’ve happened to her parents under the new rules she’s complicit in bringing in? #StopPanderingToRacistsChallenge - failed again by Labour

No single industry is more responsible for the dire straits we find ourselves in than big tech and its gang of billionaire cartoon villains. If you're a Democrat and you still want to play nice with these guys you're nuts

Great news!

Today our teams across the #GazaStrip were treating severely wounded patients in attacks by Israeli forces, causing alarming civilian casualties. We have seen injured patients in Al Aqsa, Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals.

WCK is in Jamaica ahead of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa’s landfall. The storm is expected to bring destructive winds, torrential rain & widespread flooding. We’re working with local partners to serve meals as quickly as possible. Read more: wck.org/news/hurricane-melissa #ChefsForJamaica

who invented autoplaying videos of tv shows if you hover over them for one second in the streaming app. who devised this and where does he live. i just want to talk

This made me laugh more than it probably should 😂 #funny

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.” Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Here's Patricia Routledge being given a Tony Award for Beat Actress In A Musical, which she won in a tie with Leslie Uggams, by Groucho Marx.

Good on Labi. Showing Tommy Ten Names the musical door

Sky News and the BBC repeatedly mention the "migrant crisis" in doing so they are normalising and legitimising far right talking points. There is no "migrant crisis", there is only migrant hysteria, which the British media is feeding into instead of countering.

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Rest in peace Chris Steele-Perkins. Who photographed one of my favourite images of all time. Young people dancing in a Wolverhampton club in 1978

Yvette Cooper should be ashamed. But won’t be

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

The Israeli government has adopted the double-strike tactic used by Bashar al-Assad in Syria: target a hospital or heavily populated area, then hit it again when rescue workers, reporters and medics turn up, to kill or maim them too. Hideous war crimes piled one upon another.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

They put paint...on a plane...that took off anyway to deliver weapons to an army overseen by a leader wanted for war crimes.

“For infants, we have virtually no baby formula. Children are being given 10% dextrose (sugar water), which has no nutritional value ... When an international colleague tried to bring baby formula into Gaza, Israeli authorities confiscated it.”

If only there had been people ten years ago who said mainstream politicians and press were unifying around overtly racist, increasingly National Front politics, while terrifying the public with largely fraudulent concerns about Palestinian Solidarity as a way of suppressing and excluding the left 🤷🏼‍♂️

It is very late to get off the bus supporting this war effort, but it is not too late. Have a think; are you really going to be the last person you know making excuses, as the situation gets worse and worse? If not, why not get ahead of the curve and stop now?

Walter Scott, founding member of The Whispers — best known for the hits "And the Beat Goes On" and "Rock Steady" — has died

somewhere in the great beyond there’s a bar full of people who just yelled NORM!

we have to do the racist thing or people who wear a different rosette will do the same thing
