@EastMidRailway absolutely disgusting customer service. Over £200 to upgrade off peak ticket for a 70 minute journey, and now I have to wait two hours. There is something very wrong about this monopoly on trains from Leicester. Treated like an idiot, zero respect. Vile, company.

Mariella Frostrup, "I just don't know when we started dehumanising people to the extent that we do now" >Huge clap< *In response to Nadine Dorries's long rant on leaving the ECHR and using the Royal Navy to address Farage's Brexit Small Boats Arrivals* "I find it really shocking" "Imagine if nobody wanted to come here then we'd really be depressed by Britain as a nation" "Of course it is an issue. But we've decreased our budget for international development" "We have a completely shambolic asylum system" "You talk about people coming here illegally, but what are the legal routes?" "We still don't have proper legal routes" Nadine Dorries, "We do" Mariella Frostrup, "Explain. I'm a woman in Congo. I'm one of the 80,000 women who has been raped as a result of the conflict going on there. I need to escape. My family has been wiped out. What's my legal way of applying to join my sister who is in the UK?" *Nadine Dorries goes silent* "It is impossible, our system is broken" "The way we talk about people trying to come here, and the way we completely ignore the dilemmas that they face. And the fact that we have been instrumental in a lot of those conflicts" "What happened to Afghanistan? When we were determined that people from Afghanistan could come here because of the way they supported us during that war" "And now we're talking about them as if they're rubbish on the street" "I think it's a shame we're allowing Reform UK to set the tone and the agenda and the way we talk about illegal immigrants" *Nadine Dorries is now biting her lips* >Another huge clap<

Global Head of Programme Communications Paul McCann explains whether HALO can clear Gaza’s explosive hazards. #Gaza @TheHALOTrust

@EastMidRailway once again it's FREEZING COLD on the train from London to Leicester. Massively overpriced journeys, train cancelled this morning, and now no heating. Brilliant job.

This is shocking beyond belief: @rickygervais @FIFAWorldCup this killing must stop..it shames #Morocco it shames the beautiful game!!

"There's widespread contamination from unexploded ordnance and landmines and there is a serious risk to the people returning to these areas." Idleb Syria: HALO Supervisor, Salem, speaks to @bbcworldservice about the threat to families returning home following the fall of the government and the urgent need for HALO's work.

🚨 Message from our HALO team on the ground in Idleb, #Syria. As the situation in Syria moves rapidly, the risk to life is high. Families are trying to return home to areas littered with explosives. HALO's Syria team is already on the ground ready to support.

🎥 Hope for the future in #Afghanistan. HALO Trust CEO James Cowan recently visited Ghazni, where he saw the legacy of decades of war at the Balla Hissar fort. James explains how our work offers hope for the future, as land that has been made safe is now used to grow crops:

The HALO Trust was honoured to be joined by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Téte António, Minister of External Relations for the 🇦🇴 Republic of Angola at an event in New York last night to commend Angola’s progress in mine clearance. Read more>> bit.ly/3Zw23kT

@SW_Help worst train journey from Waterloo to Salisbury in 17:23 train - NO AIR CON and it must be over 39 degrees. No water provided either and the toilets are disgusting. Honestly how you can charge the amount you do for tickets is a joke.

@SoVeryBritish Soggy cucumber 🥒

What instantly ruins a sandwich for you?

@_XDogs Of course!

do you think pets should be allowed in the hospital room to be with their dying loved one?

#IAEA needs to send inspectors into Gaza to check whether #Israel used #DU (depleted uranium) in the ammunition in their aggression; to do thorough investigation on the soil, air; all this is the responsibility of @iaeaorg Palestinian ambassador @SalahAbdelShafi tells @AJEnglish

@Dalbodog Beautiful beyond words. Thank you xx

"Yesterday I adopted the oldest, and sorest shelter dog. I'll never forget his eyes. When I went into the cage he didn't even bother to look, he knew I wouldn't even see him. Curling around the corner He'd accepted his fate. The volunteer said to me many times... Are you sure this one? Are you sure? YES! This is my dog. He opened the cage and 3 animals fell on me. I ran towards him, suddenly he looked at me as if he saw an angel... I hugged him and told him that now he'll be happy again. Then he sleeps in my lap... probably the first peaceful sleep he ever had. Give it a life. Give it a hug. They need us." From a dad who saved a soul. Credit: Animal Alternative Therapy
