Impossible not to be starry eyed at the ever wonderful, trenchant, wise Mary Robinson in fine form on the platform of the #SkollForum #SWF24 on the imperative for government and UN leaders to have moral consistency, play by the rules we have created and collaborate with others.

1/ A 🧵 on UK stockmarket - Today we announced a capital raise at a significant premium to the share price and an intention to delist from the London AIM market. Firstly, I am obviously sorry for the loss of liquidity/tax benefits that some retail investors will lose. That said,…

Nadhim Zahawi I admire immensely your work on the Post Office scandal but please can I urge you not use the phrase “committed suicide.” The illegal status of suicide was lifted more than 60 years ago. I lost my son to suicide. He was a good man and didn’t “commit” anything.

Thank you Owen Farrell for being a legend on the rugby field and also for all the incredible support you’ve given to Joining Jack & Duchenne UK 🙏 #EndDuchenne

There is nothing worse than shutting down a muni course. But to do it at a time when playing golf has never been so popular is criminal. I am begging you to sign this petition. Dalmuir ain't hosting the Open any time soon but it is an absolute treasure. Let's keep it open.

Congrats to all the BAFTA nominees in best documentary - esp the 20 Days in Mariupol team Raney Aronson-Rath FRONTLINE who are regular co-pro partners. Very well deserved 👏🌟👏

They just keep going - but the pain these journalists are carrying from losing their family colleagues & homes is huge

Happy New Year!

Well said. Israel complains about journalists ‘distorting the truth’ and then denies access to a war zone except in controlled embeds. Same hypocrisy as in 2009 during Cast Lead.

Very sad news… CNN Gaza reporter’s relatives killed and childhood home destroyed in two separate strikes - my condolences to Ibrahim and his family. cnn.com/2023/12/04/mid…

Delighted to pick up the Rose D’Or on behalf of the brilliant team behind Children of the Taliban 🌟🎉

The idea of a copy of the Handmaid's Tale smuggled into Iran's Evin Prison for the women to read fills me with joy.
