I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit.
I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country.
This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran.
We must take a stand.

Always remember the outrage when he tied his “uncle” to a field gun and blasted him to smithereens. A trick he learned from the British in India.

@TheCinesthetic I was on working in the Creggan Estate the night of the Omagh bombings, they were celebrating

The ending of Derry Girls (2018–2022) hits perfectly. The chaos, the humor, and then that shift into something real with the Good Friday Agreement. It wraps their story and their country at the same time.

I can’t stress this enough, as they say on the internet.
I’ve worked in telly comedy for almost 30 years of my life. A VETERAN.
There is nothing harder, in the telly game, than getting a new comedy show off the ground.
The reaction to a snippet of that new show, or a promo for it, is almost always wildly negative. Comedy always begins from a position of fighting up out of a trench into a hostile no-man’s-land. Bombs of “THIS WILL BE SHIT” landing all around you.
How often have you heard about a drama show - “It gets great five episodes in.”
When have you ever heard anyone EVER say that about comedy? You get one episode AT BEST. Usually, you get about ten minutes. Sometimes one look at your face is enough for people.
Basically, what I’m saying is - give telly comedy a chance! Don’t go in, all arms folded and grumpy. Most shows you see on TV are people reading off teleprompters and actors turning up to recite memorised lines. These comedy performers and writers will have been working like fuck to make you laugh. There is no harder working room in telly than that comedy room.
So PLEASE. Relax, be open, and give this and ANY OTHER NEW COMEDY a chance. It is only here to try to make you smile.
Clip here is fun. Godspeed to all involved!

@DeathlyAcorn @Doylech I had no issue how they treated us.
I did have an issue with them executing young girls for learning to read, raping kids as young 7 because it was part of a land deal, literally skinning a student alive because he no longer wanted to follow Islam.

@CraigSh17821849 @Doylech You mean when you illegally invaded their country? Yeah I can imagine that might wind them up

Anti-Muslim hatred and bigotry has become so commonplace not least in the Conservative and Reform parties, that Badenoch would have to sack quite a few more than Nick Timothy to look convincing.

"If he were in my team, he'd be gone." Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says Kemi Badenoch should sack shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy over his social media comments about Muslims praying in public places. trib.al/BcAvZ7E 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233

Labour's @Keir_Starmer on fire against Tory Islamophobia - no wonder they don't want it defined!
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country. I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths. That’s British values. The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

@StephenMorganMP No Stephen, what division was spread when they blew up the kids at a concert, when the blew up the trains & buses, when they beheaded Lee Rigby & when they walked into a Synagogue and randomly shot Jews
English
Comments made by the Shadow Justice Secretary against public prayer that took place in Trafalgar Square yesterday only serve to spread division and target the Muslim community.
This country stands up against all forms of hate and bigotry to protect the communities that make Britain the diverse and beautiful nation we all love.

@DeathlyAcorn @Doylech I've seen Islamists in action, not just against soldiers but against anyone who deviates or criticises Islam.
They way they treat each other is horrendous

@CraigSh17821849 @Doylech The next victim of someone praying in a public square?

@Sophotogenic @DeathlyAcorn @Doylech I've served in Afghan & Iraq, it's terrifying me watching this happen.
English
@DeathlyAcorn @CraigSh17821849 @Doylech Muslims are ethnoreligious.
I can GUARANTEE that every single one of the Muslims who blew themselves up in London in 2005 were praying as they did it. I can GUARANTEE that the Muslim who blew up those people in Manchester was praying as he did it.
English
@andrewpakes_ Everyone of those people would pick any majority Muslim country over the UK.
English
This is how far off the path some Tory politicians have gone.
Trafalgar Square hosts special occasions for many faiths and communities. And rightly so.
Singling out an Iftaar is about stirring division. We should all call this nonsense out.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

@ThomasWillett9 Where are the women & the members of the LGBTQ community?

Over recent years, Trafalgar Square has hosted Diwali on the Square, Good Friday Passion Play, Chanukah menorah events, Christian gospel outreach services & Interfaith vigils and peace prayers.
If you’re only taking issue with Islamic events, you’re Islamophobic.

As a Christian, I am pleased that we allow Muslims to meet and pray in Trafalgar Square. It means we live in a country where freedom of religion and respect for others is still alive.
It is not, as the Faragists are now claiming, divisive.

@ShockatAdam I wonder why an MP from Leicester needs the Islamist vote?
English
Bigotry. Plain and simple.
Why are celebrations of every other major faith in Trafalgar Square embraced, yet a Muslim Iftar - peaceful, family friendly, open to all faiths and none - is suddenly labeled as “domination” and “division”?
