"Would you live in Rwanda?" It's a fair question to ask the government, PM, home secretary, and any British citizens who supports this disgraceful deal

Our new partnership with Rwanda will mean those who are resettled there will be given support to build a new life.
That includes help with employment, learning the language, accommodation, and healthcare.
So that they can resettle and thrive.2

Imagine being the journalists given the job of making this policy sound good: detaining traumatised refugees fleeing to the UK, a country they believe to be welcoming and decent, and instead of giving them asylum, removing them 4,000 miles away to Rwanda #Refugees

Written during what I call 'autopilot'. The stage where you're doing what has to be done and can't breakdown emotionally yet. Lasts through the funeral and sorting of a house filled with a lifetime's possessions (at least 75% books 📚 in mum's case.) Whenever I read it now I cry

Remembering the absolute life force that was mum today. Love this from her obituary @Josh_ua_Surtees -“Through hills in Derbyshire, mountains in Scotland, fields in Wales, rivers in St Lucia, lakes in Italy and beaches in France we followed her joyfully.”

So excited to officially announce that I have been selected as a athlete for the Tokyo 2020 games. I have qualified in the marathon swimming race (10KM, open water).
My selection makes me the first black woman to represent GB in a swimming event at the Olympic Games.

The current cricket season is a disaster. All white ball cricket is an entertaining sideshow and should never take precedence over the longer form. Would it be a good idea to interrupt the football euros for 8 weeks of 5 a side, or the rugby 6 nations with 2 months of 7 a side?
