    27 children. No matter if Palestinian or Israeli, it is always the people who pay the price never those who win power from ordering violence and destruction. Thinking tonight of all families I met from Gaza and all in the region who hope constantly for peace. Feels so hopeless.

    amazing thread.

    *Thread* This week, a 28-year-old man was convicted of offences after he caused so much distress to his partner that she fell through a first-floor window trying to escape him. Read that again. This woman willingly jumped out of a window rather than having to face this guy.

    The Ballymurphy families have fought for five decades for the truth. On Tuesday, they were completely vindicated. We owe it to them, and to all the many families who lost so much in the conflict, to finally deliver truth and the prospect of justice.

    Get down the job centre and ask one of the work coaches. Or is that not good enough for the masters?

    Cameron says there should be more guidance for ex-PMs who don't just want to "be on the board of some big bank and make the odd speech around the world".

    Well colour me surprised that the government in an attempt to look hard has not thought through their "free speech" crusade. Holocaust denial... Seriously

    "Number 10 contradicted the Minister, saying: “Holocaust denial is not something that the government would ever accept.” Asked if Boris Johnson agreed with Donelan, his spokesman said: “No.” And asked if holocaust denial was anti-Semitic, he said: “Yes.”

    Honestly I've learned more about the menopause in the last hour than I ever knew and believe me when I say I have intimate conversations with women on a daily basis. I feel as if I will at least know what to ask for now.
