There's always more than one side to a story. The side you think is important probably isn't. Everything is much more complicated than you think it is. Trying to provide any kind of context about that gets you hated by just about everyone. I'm going to bed.

I was going to say that "they should all be sacked", but they really need to be made to sort everything out, because it's an absolute car crash out there at the mo. ☹️

It was maliciously treated as a fishing expedition by little people who had no way of changing the outcome. Funded by the taxpayer the cover up began. Lives have been lost. Lives could have been saved by a number of people listening to the few. I hope that is never forgotten.
The compensation bill for the Post Office Scandal has now reached £1.7bn. Every UK taxpayer has paid £44. Yet in 2014, the PO started mediation that could have settled claims at a fraction. They blew it. It was treated as a box-ticking exercise and a fishing expedition.

One of the highlights of my time in Jordan was visiting UNWRA archives and examining the index cards and other records of the 750,000 Palestinians kicked off their land at the Nakba in 1948. They used to be kept in Gaza and were airlifted out at the beginning of the genocide- Israel has destroyed all the archives that remained. They form the best evidence for some form of reparations in the future and are now being scanned and digitalised
غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد النهضة (أرض) تنظّم زيارة للمؤرخ ويليام دالريمبل إلى أرشيف الأونروا وحواراً رفيع المستوى حول فلسطين Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After ARDD Organizes William Dalrymple’s Visit to UNRWA Archives and High-Level Dialogue on Palestine نظّمت منظمة النهضة العربية للديمقراطية والتنمية (أرض)، من خلال مركز النهضة الاستراتيجي، وتحت عنوان «غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد»، زيارة إلى أرشيف الصور والأفلام التابع لوكالة الأمم المتحدة لإغاثة وتشغيل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين (الأونروا)، بمشاركة المؤرخ والكاتب البريطاني البارز ويليام دالريمبل، إلى جانب لقاء عمل حواري رفيع المستوى جمع دبلوماسيين وأكاديميين وصنّاع سياسات وخبراء إقليميين، لمناقشة التطورات في غزة وفلسطين ضمن التحولات التاريخية والسياسية الأوسع التي يشهدها الشرق الأوسط. وخلال الزيارة إلى أرشيف الأونروا، التي نُظّمت بالتعاون مع الوكالة، اطّلع دالريمبل على سجلات ووثائق تاريخية توثّق تهجير الفلسطينيين وتجارب اللاجئين وذاكرتهم الجماعية منذ عام 1948. ويُعدّ هذا الأرشيف، المدرج ضمن برنامج ذاكرة العالم التابع لليونسكو، مرجعاً تاريخياً مهماً يبرز ضرورة الحفاظ على التاريخ الفلسطيني والهوية الوطنية وتجارب أجيال متعاقبة من اللاجئين. للمزيد: ardd-jo.org/news/%d8%ba%d8%b… The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), through its Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC), organised, under the theme “Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After,” a visit to the UNRWA Photo and Film Archives with renowned British historian and author William Dalrymple, alongside a high-level working lunch bringing together diplomats, academics, policymakers, and regional experts to reflect on Gaza and Palestine within the broader historical and political transformations shaping the Middle East. During the visit to the UNRWA Archives, facilitated in cooperation with UNRWA, Dalrymple explored historical records documenting Palestinian displacement, refugee experiences, and collective memory since 1948. Recognized by UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, the archives underscore the importance of preserving Palestinian history, identity, and the experiences of generations of refugees. for more: renaissancestrategiccenter.c…

Labour MP John McDonnell has urged the UK government to impose full sanctions and political isolation on Israel, warning that Netanyahu is turning the West Bank into a “second Gaza.”

HEBRON IS UNDER SIEGE. FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES. Since yesterday, at least 250 families have been displaced in Hebron, including my own sister, Hayat, and her seven children. Homes and shops are being demolished by the Israeli military. Around 250,000 people are trapped in the city, while 1,000 families in H2 remain in their homes. We are being collectively punished for something we neither did nor supported. Our suffering is being turned into political material for Israel’s elections, while innocent families pay the price. #Hebron #HumanRights #EndCollectivePunishment #StopForcedDisplacement #ActNow

Been asked a lot about “stockpiling” and it’s a really unhelpful term. This is about a bit of extra water, food, medication to get you through until responders can provide more help. 72 hours. It’s not a bunker

A store picker substituting COVID tests with Lemsip (equivalent of USA’s Theraflu) is suggestive of some kind of cognitive impairment in the store picker. Buckle up it’s going to get worse eg from personal experience when crossing one way roads, look BOTH ways now before crossing
Ok seriously @sainsburys wth? I ordered Covid tests and they were substituted with lemsip???? And flu tests were substituted with vit D tests??? Are you kidding me???? I ordered from you specifically because I need flu and Covid tests. And they were in stock.

AI models have been brought down to earth—just when everyone was getting worshippy about them. For days, physical models insisted #Typhoon #CHAMPI would hit Taiwan while Google DeepMind insisted it would cleanly miss. CHAMPI is now clobbering Taiwan. Ouchies for Google DeepMind.

BBC Sport approached @number10gov for a response to my letter to @andyburnham . The @DHSCgovuk responded and unfortunately this statement isn’t anything we didn’t already know. There are also fundamental inaccuracies within it. Please also bear with me; I’ve had an extremely large amount of messages and I’m operating with a very limited capacity. @Ed_Miliband @tessamunt @JoPlattLeigh @KatieFalkingham @BBCSport @BBCNews @UKLabour @ThereForME_UK @YvetteCooperMP

From arms sales to surveillance flights, Britain has played an instrumental role in Israel's destruction of Gaza. Shamefully, this government is trying to obstruct the truth. Sign this petition for a public inquiry into Britain's complicity in genocide. petition.parliament.uk/petit…
