@Mr_Andrew_Fox Thanks so much for taking time out to come to South Hampstead tonight - it was a privilege to be in the audience.

A truly remarkable article from Brendan O'Neill. Incendiary moral clarity. "In the hours and days after the pogrom, a dawning, chilling realisation came: the West’s activist class and its educated elites were sympathising more with the pogromists than with the pogrom’s victims. They went from saying ‘Never Again’ to saying ‘All Right Then, One More Time’." spiked-online.com/2024/10/07/the…

Read it and weep. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/0…

@FranceskAlbs RESCUED not released! There is nothing perfidious about saving your own. The UN is active in the area hostages were held - yet not one visit. How dare you accuse Israel. Hamas can stop this. They, and you, choose not to.

Relieved that four hostages have been released. It should not have come at the expense of at least 200 Palestinians, including children, killed and over 400 injured by Israel and allegedly foreign soldiers, while perfidiously hiding in an aid truck. This is "humanitarian camouflage" at another level. Israel has used hostages to legitimise killing, injuring, maiming, starving and traumatising Palestinians in Gaza. And while intensifying violence against Palestinians in the rest of the occupied territory and Israel. Israel could have freed all hostages, alive and intact, 8 months ago when the first ceasfire and hostage exchange was put on the table. Yet, Israel refused in order to continue to destroy Gaza and the Palestinians as a people. This is genocidal intent turned into action. Crystal clear.

Noa Argamani was held hostage in the Home of Abdallah Aljamal Photojournalist/Editor for Al-Jazeera and the Palestinian Chronicle. Abdallah and family members were killed attempting to prevent her rescue. ‘Al Jazeera Journalists stay neutral’ NOT!

One of the Israeli Hostages that was Rescued yesterday during the Joint-Operation in Central Gaza, 26-Year-Old Noa Argamani was being held Captive in the Home of Abdallah Aljamal, a Photojournalist and Writer/Editor for both Al-Jazeera and the Palestinian Chronicle. During the Operation, Abdallah and several Members of his Family were Killed while attempting to Prevent the Rescue of Noa.

I found this incredibly affecting. Gave me a chance to see the man behind the stunts; someone who comes across as warm and gentle and sincere.

Dear Clacton. Brexit. That’s all

@itvlondon no reporting on today’s peaceful march through central London in support of the hostages who have now been held by Hamas for 237 days. SHAME ON YOU🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️🎗️

@TheFigen_ Your observation is correct. My father took me to Waddesdon Manor specifically to show me this painting when I was 10. I was so fascinated by the alternative reflection - it was directly responsible for my art degree. ❤️

This is one of the most extraordinary details in art history. The mirror in Van Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait. The couple, seen from behind, and two other figures, one of whom may be the painter himself. But in the reflection the couple is not holding each other's hands Am I seeing it wrong?

@BBCSport - its about a marathon not about blinkin’ boxing!!!! #loveanthonyjoshuabut……

@MadelineBell + @ianshawjazz = the best musical combo we've experienced in a very, very long time. Thanks so much!!!!!! @cadoganhall

@BBCNews @GaryLineker and everyone else who has not mentioned Hamas’ culpability (in Oct 7, in diverting funds/food, in the use of hospitals, schools and community property to hide themselves and their arsenal etc etc etc) nor a whisper about hostages - where are you on this?

@MrAndrewCotter OMg that ear! ❤️

(Very) early this morning on their favourite beach. Well… there’s enough dark stuff on here, so why not just be a dog for a bit?

@RoyalFreeNHS today I witnessed the NHS at its ABSOLUTE BEST at Barnet General Hospital where my 90 year old Mum who’d been referred to the TIA clinic had an MRI, ECG, Dopplar and Blood tests and then saw a consultant - all within 2 hours!!!! Seriously impressive - thank you!!!

@crispinbutler my extraordinary neurodivergent neighbour who is a super-talented illustrator has just painted the store, I thought you might appreciate the work

@MichelleObama international women’s day for which women? Your silence is deafening. #BringBackOurGirls

When a senior leader of a terrorist organisation, in response to a request about the status of hostages taken 150 days ago, that "such valuable information can not be given for free" what further price does @kamalaharris expect the hostages families to pay?

‘Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.’ Our freedom is Fragile. The duty to defend it belongs to us all. ⁦@HMD_UK⁩ ⁦@HolocaustUK⁩

@OfficialFV Your team at the Staples Corner store just went way above and beyond to help me, thank you! (everyone’s so quick to complain on this platform I thought it important to celebrate people when it was so well deserved)
