A noteworthy tweet from #SriLanka’s former president, especially in how it articulates more bluntly than most the belief - widely-held in SL - that the deadly 2019 #eastersundayattacks were planned & facilitated for the political benefit of “a few powerful Sinhala politicians”.
Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga@CBKsrilanka

@Justice4Hejaaz This pogrom against the Muslim people is a repitition of attacks against them in 2013/ the Easter bombings clearly organised by a few powerful Sinhala politicians / the Hejaaz Hisblluh case / the Dr.Shafi hoo-hah and many other events to demonise the Muslim people .

President Cyril Ramaphosa has finally warned Vladimir Putin not to come to South Africa in person for the BRICS summit, because he’d be arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court. Putin will have to appear via Zoom instead. Distinctly humiliating.

I wish I’d had access to one of these kits when I was diagnosed nine years ago.

I was on my phone and reading about Bryony Gordon’s interview with Prince Harry. My six year old boy looked at the photograph and said ‘is that you and mummy?’ It made me wonder just how little attention he gives to me or my wife.

Such sad news. Like millions of others her voice was part of my life’s soundtrack. Is there a more moving love song than “Songbird”? bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

I’m in the chemo clinic watching Rishi Sunak become the first person of colour to be PM. For a 1st generation migrant like me, born in Sri Lanka, it is a moment of great pride to live in a European country where this is possible. Racism is not over, but we’re on the right path.

So the long-awaited eval of NTP Y1 by ⁦@TheNFER⁩ finds that broadly tutoring is associated with better grades (with an avalanche of methodological caveats), but that the scheme failed to target disadvantaged pupils adequately schoolsweek.co.uk/tutoring-schem…

Thank you for so much support. Sooner or later my cancer was going to find a way through the drugs. That it’s taken eight years is tribute to brilliant medics - and some luck. Now they’re re-jigging the treatment and remain hopeful. So am I. bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…
