Forgot to say...so proud that @latinolifeuk was recently chosen to be a NATIONAL PORTFOLIO ORGANISATION... joining the likes of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Royal Opera House, Sadler's Wells as one of the country’s most esteemed cultural institutions! Thanx to @ace__london

Proud to be out campaigning with my three boys and my grandson on Fathers’ Day!

There's something hard for us, children of the colonised, to articulate because the world is upside down. Europe and its descendants, can't differentiate between principle and episode. This is why Germany (and much of Europe) is doomed to be genocidal. Here is what I mean. 🧵

We are so proud of our UK Latin Talent, and the privilege of showcasing that talent to the world through our media, events, music label and activities as a National Portfolio Organisation. Here’s some of our favourite homegrown releases of 2023…latinolife.co.uk/articles/latin…

Hot off the success of our 2023 Incubator, we’re delighted to announced the Incubator 2024, an event for all... 6-7pm Managers Panel Discussion 7-8pm Producers Panel Discussion 8pm-9pm Q&A 9pm-10pm Networking Session 10pm-1am Live music showcases fatsoma.com/e/6nymo5sh/lat…

🇵🇸 One week until our National Demonstration for Palestine! The last one was the biggest ever march in solidarity with the Palestinian people, let's make this one even bigger! See you at the Garden of Remembrance, 1pm, 13th January. The streets are with Palestine! #FreePalestine

Thank you Democracy Now for sharing part of my sermon “Jesus in the Rubble”

The decimation of the #Gaza health system is a tragedy. But in the face of constant insecurity and inflows of wounded patients, we see doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers and more continue striving to save lives. @WHO and our health partners will continue working side by side with you, delivering supplies, supporting the provision of care, and transferring the seriously wounded. And we persist in calling for #CeasefireNow. x.com/whoopt/status/…

@Keir_Starmer You have the blood of children on your hands, and that’s before even being in power. At least this time (unlike with Blair) i know BEFORE the election. I never in my life thought I’d see a Labour party with less moral integrity than a Conservative one. But here we are…

I welcome today’s vote at the United Nations Security Council. The horrors of recent months have been intolerable.

Michelle Mone has admitted that she lied to the media over her links to a PPE firm. Enough is enough, it's time those in power put an end to this sordid affair. Sign the petition now and demand Mone is expelled from the House of Lords: 38d.gs/qhjk

@DavidLammy Meaningless. You are already supporting Israel’s intended explusion of Palestinians from Gaza. You say Gazans should be alowed back to their homes. There homes have been bombed to pieces, have you not noticed? And you’ve allowed that to happen and continue to allow it

The West Bank is vital. Only here, in what should be the heartland of a future Palestinian state, can a reformed PA be rebuilt to become strong enough to run Gaza. Labour will oppose expulsions of Palestinians and bar violent settlers from the UK. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

WHO has documented an unprecedented number of attacks on health care in the West Bank in the past two months, since 7 October 2023. 236 health attacks have resulted in: 🔹Obstruction to delivery of health care (60%; 142 attacks) 🔹Use of force against health care (53%; 126 attacks) 🔹Detention of health staff or ambulances (14%; 33 attacks) 🔹Militarized search of health assets (12%; 28 attacks) Health care is #NotATarget. @WHO calls for the respect of international law and active intervention to ensure the protection of health care.

We’ve been waiting for this for a VERY VERY long time…Maná finally comes to London. We can’t wait to sing along to their anthems next summer It’s gonna be a night to remember ¡Viva Mexico, Lindo y Querido! Tix livenation.co.uk/artist-man%C3%…

We've reached 20 on IG! A massive thank you to all the members of our beloved community. Your support at our events over the years - festivals, awards ceremonies, conferences, concerts and club nights - has helped develop the UK Latin arts industry and community. Follow us on IG!

It is absolutely farcical to try to peddle the view that foreign journalists are not entering Gaza because it’s ‘dangerous’. International journalists have been delib blocked from entering #Gaza by primarily #Israel who doesnt want them seeing the war crimes 🧵

Anyone who knows the International Committee of the Red Cross knows that their official policy is to never speak out (icrc.org/en/document/co…) Which is why such a statement by the ICRC president is so exceptional, and why you should listen. Here's what she says: "The things I saw [in the European Gaza hospital] is beyond anything that anyone should be in a position to described. What shocked me the most were the children, with atrocious injuries and at the same time having lost their parents with no-one looking after them. We are facing a situation here that will not be healed by sending in more trucks. We need to provide protection to the civilians in Gaza, to the women and children, to the elderly people that I saw today that have nowhere to go... We have to find solutions to this. We can't turn away from what is evidently a moral failure in the face of the international community."

LILA AVILÉS is reaching audiences far and wide, as TÓTEM hits the screens in the UK this December. We interview the newest star in Mexico’s illustrious lineage of great film directors latinolife.co.uk/.../no-tengo-d…... Find nearest screening newwavefilms.co.uk/view-film-deta…...

A colleague forwarded me what the IDF shares with reporters re the lists of imprisoned Palestinian women and teenagers up for release. All labeled terrorists, despite some not even being charged with anything and others picked up in murky circumstances and brutalized in jail

Enough is enough. Suella Braverman's article in the Times is dangerous, divisive, and shows she's unfit for office. @RishiSunak must sack her now. Agree? Add your name: 38d.gs/samy
