Good meeting. We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results. Thank you @POTUS.

She's raising money for the North London Hospice that looked after her.

👋🏻🏃🏻♀️I’m running the London Marathon to raise money for the @NLondonHospice who cared so brilliantly for my very dear friend Laura who died last year.
It’s a very special place & it relies of donations to keep going. Here’s my fundraising page 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Looks like another bumper year for the illegal black market in accommodation preying on desperate @edfringe performers now trying to find affordable places in '25 that no longer exist since the @scotgov & @Edinburgh_CC got to work killing off locally owned self catering. #SaveSC

Fascinating report. The “lost boys” will be one of the biggest themes in next ten years IMO.
Young women are now consistently earning more than their male counterparts for the first time, according to a report that warns of a social “crisis” gripping young men ⬇️

When I studied French and Spanish at Uni, the fun part was learning the various and equivalent idioms. Many come from historical and cultural references points. Having worked and lived in different countries, I enjoyed the curiosity and discovery of the cultural journey.

It’s a thought that if it weren’t for Alister Jack and the Tories, the thing that Anas Sarwar says he knows now that he didn’t know then to be wrong, would be the law.
