    UNHCR’s press release following my visit to Greece. 👇🏻 It is especially urgent to focus on refugee children. We need to make sure, even extra sure (because they are children) that they are accommodated in safe places and not exposed to risk.

    Another life lost because of the failures of the asylum system. The Home Office must do better to protect vulnerable young refugees.

    “Tell me, what is required of people who are living in warzones? To surrender life to war? To bury ourselves alive because none of us know when the war will end?" A must-read by three inspiring Yemeni women

    This is a great thing to apply for. I got this grant in 2016. Paid for us to rent bikes, cycle 100 miles round the Berlin Wall in a day and eat a kebab at the end. A great day and my resolution for 2019 is to have another day like that.

    The sheer staggering ignorance. In comprehensive inner London last year 59% of disadvantaged pupils got good GCSEs in English and Maths. In selective Kent it was 35.6%.

    *All* working class pupils are disadvantaged by the bog-standard comps Mr Lammy’s Labour Party has imposed on them since it was taken over by well-off bourgeois bohemians in the 1960s. Don’t think he was referring to them.
