On the same day in the Telegraph:

As someone who volunteers every week for @care4calais.org with asylum seekers & refugees, I wanted to share a message that counters the hate and reveals the reality behind the headlines. Read more here metro.co.uk/2025/08/26/v.

Exceptional, complex layered article on the legacy of the war in Sudan where 14 million people have been displaced, more than in Ukraine and Gaza combined. @theatlantic.com by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social with powerful photos from @lynseyaddario.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Searing interview with Dr Khamis Elessi from Gaza City on BBC Radio 4 WATO on the horrific conditions in Gaza and vulnerable people being treated like cattle. He urges David Lammy and Keir Starmer to stick by their words and act before it is too late. Hope they were listening.

Tragic that offenders featured in tonight's BBC Panorama - Why I joined a Riot - cannot see asylum seekers as human beings. One even asked if wanting them dead is racist???? The media and politicians have a lot to answer for. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

As the far right gains ground in the UK, one East London football club is standing firm. At @claptoncfc.co.uk refugees find not just a team — but hope, solidarity, and resistance. ⚽✊ open.substack.com/pub/louloulo... #RefugeesWelcome #NoPasaran #GrassrootsFootball #ClaptonCFC

Current tense negotiations between the IMF and Kenya highlight the failure of the global economic system and why it needs to change says Janet Ngombalu of @christianaiduk.bsky.social in @ipsnews.net and allafrica.com/stories/2025...

The worst possible reaction. It’ve vicious, nasty, and certain to fail.

Hello, a friend's brother died recently, aged 43. They were very close so he is understandably very upset. He is also very distressed as he is unable to support his parents to pay for the funeral. Grateful for any help you could give, either to donate or share www.gofundme.com/f/help-fund-...

As the US calls the World Bank to invest more in fossil fuels, Ghana's experience serves as a stark warning

As the conflict in Sudan enters its third year, leaders gathering in London this week should urgently work to protect civilians and guarantee safe, unfettered aid provision.

David Lammy. Again just words. Useless without action. Stop all arms exports to Israel, call a genocide a genocide, fully support ICC & ICJ in investigating Israeli war crimes, suspend trade agreements with Israel. Reevaluate your diplomatic stance with Israel. NO more empty words.

On Transgender Day of Visibility I am sharing this film I worked on with Oscar Sharples from Transilience & the incredible young people they work with for the Young Gamechangers Fund (Restless Development, Global Fund for Children) supported by the Co-op Foundation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4x-...

Gaza's Eid marred by Israeli massacres of children and expulsion orders - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gazas-eid-marked-israeli-massacres-children-and-expulsion-orders

Great explainer (nice photos of the king too). The trial finished today - awaiting the judge's rulings. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Have a ticket for this important sold-out event tonight at the Frontline Club but can no longer go. Anyone interested? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/panel-disc... #HumanRights

Middle East crisis live: Israel accused of using ‘food as weapon of war’ in aid blockade on Gaza

Powerful speeches after No Other Land deservedly wins Best Documentary at the Oscars. It's an incredible doc. Great that people in the UK can watch it on TV here www.channel4.com/programmes/n...

Prime minister Keir starmer says @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social priority is lasting peace but is it really? Isn’t it securing minerals from Ukraine? #BBCLauraK

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such

Repulsive. And of course Z started out by saying thank you twice.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

Just punched the table listening to @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social am so angry. Who the hell does he think he is? He made Zelensky tough? What a load of rubbish. What a total narcisist, bully, idiot and worse. A joke of a President. This is just too much.

It's now 151st day of Laila's hunger strike in protest at her British-Egyptian son’s wrongful imprisonment in Egypt and she is seriously ill. @primeministeruk.bsky.social I know you are busy today, but this is really urgent! Please call President Sisi before it is too late. #FreeAlaa

A crushing blow to aid sector following USAID scandal. Why can't Starmer tax the richest in society rather than taking from the poorest?

I've just signed "Marks & Spencer - stop advertising on GB News" - Will you support the campaign too? actionstorm.org/petitions/ma... @StopFundingHate

Very satisfying to deactivate my @airbnbhelp.bsky.social account. Found out that their co-founder & current board memberJoe Gebbia is joining Elon Musk's DOGE. Small acts of resistance against Trump, Musk and their billionaire cronies! www.reuters.com/world/us/air...

Feel like you know nothing about Sudan? I sat down with the team at Prospect Magazine to talk about the conflict, and why it’s NOT a forgotten war, but an invisibilised one: www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/pro...

Angry and saddened by this. Tirana deserves to be treated as she always treats others - with respect and integrity. HRW is weaker for this. We need leaders like Tirana now more than ever.

#Gaza: @chrislockyear.msf.org explains how North Gaza is almost inhabitable. The situation is appalling; there is nothing left. youtu.be/wz8qK7xNd9Y

🚨 BREAKING: 62 UK MPs and peers in the House of Lords are demanding a ban on the import of goods from Israel's illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. These imports are illegal — and the UK government must take action. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

Fascinating discussion today with @ibtrust.bsky.social @odi.global @yaldahakim.bsky.social @dianewriter.bsky.social Andrew Connelly, Emma Young, Nazek Ramadan, Vivienne Francis. Lots of food for thought on how media can change minds on migration debate & represent refugees authentically

Kudos to @stellacreasy.bsky.social for speaking out on this. With so few safe and legal routes to UK, how else are refugees supposed to arrive here. And how come this new guidance bypassed Parliament? Shame on you @teamlabouruk.bsky.social for this cruel and vindictive move.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

On 6 Feb MPs will be debating a new debt justice law thanks to @bambosmp.bsky.social. I've written to my MP to attend the debate because debt should no longer be used as a tool for rich countries to exploit the global south. Write to your MP too 👉https://tinyurl.com/57b9xxkd

New report lays out full extent of UK-Israel military partnership in Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/new-report-lays-out-full-extent-uk-israel-military-partnership-gaza

Over 46,000 dead, people driven to starvation and madness. And still west supplying arms to Israeli gov. Not much for Yousef Hammash in this vital @c4r.bsky.social film to ask 'for the west to say this is wrong and look with humanity in the eyes of Palestinians' www.channel4.com/programmes/t...

25 years after Jubilee 2000 debt campaign, we face worst global debt crisis in history. 3.3 billion people live in countries that spend more on debt interest payments than on health, education or climate action. New report outlines solutions cafod.org.uk/about-us/pol... #DebtJustice #Jubilee2025

Heartbreaking that as we commemmorate the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust there is a resurgence of the far right 🥲 Now, more important than ever to stop this.

Colossal death toll of children, 20,000 still missing, 40,000 orphans, thousands of amputees, complete psychological destruction. Yes. Truly heartbreaking. Inexcusable and Infuriating.

All hail Bishop Edgar Budde. Thank you for your bravery. Love Trumps Hate.

Thankfullly missed all the Trump inauguration footage, was at Zuraski v Texas doc screeing @amnestyuk.bsky.social Harrowing but brilliant film about abortion ban in Texas and women whose lives were traumatised by it but fought together to try and end it. togetherfilms.org/films/zuraws...

“The opportunity to vastly improve the life chances of millions of people across lower income countries is staring the government in the face. The government can pass new legislation to ensure banks and hedge funds #CancelTheDebt” - Heidi Chow

A shocking piece here into the use of aid funds to support elite hospitals which the poor can’t afford. Babies going untreated, patients (and corpses) imprisoned, people dying while their means of payment is screened. At hospitals backed by the World Bank!! 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Cannot recommend this film enough. Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat. player.bfi.org.uk/rentals/film... About the assasination of Patrice Lumumba in DRC. Incredible score, footage and editing and resonates with what's happening today.....

Thanks @fifdh.bsky.social for the webinar today. The amazing changemakers Mayye Zayed, @thehopeguy.bsky.social Adrian Kawaley-Lathan & Juan Mejia have really inspired me & given so much food for thought in my work as a human rights storyteller. Yes to creating hope and empathy to drive change!
