John McDonnell asks why two prominent Palestinian doctors have not been released Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya Dr. Marwan al-Hams Keir Starmer says he'll do his best to find out 👏

Not done yet... murielpearson.com/2025/10/13/not… Posting again because it is still a fragile ceasefire and there's so much to be done.

Not done yet... murielpearson.com/2025/10/13/not… The situation is changing fast. Hostages are being exchanged. My thoughts from a few days ago in this my last week as Church of Scotland Mission partner in Israel Palestine.

After a while, a blog post murielpearson.com/2025/09/12/run…

Some choose to ridicule the idea of being ‘woke’. But for me it’s about the huge challenge of working to be well-informed, thoughtful, compassionate, respectful & alive to the insights, contexts & needs of others, in order to make the planet a more just place for all!

An anonymous Labour cabinet minister quoted in the Times nails it: “The truth is there are a lot of people whose lives have been shit for a long time. They rolled the dice with Brexit, they rolled the dice with Boris and then they rolled the dice again with us. They need to see results otherwise they will roll the dice again with Reform.”

I am fasting for Gaza today#fastforGaza

We ARE becoming strangers — not because of migrants, but because of insecure work, (anti-)social media, lack of shared spaces and low wages preventing socialising. Bring back youth clubs, fix community centres, support workers. Invest in our country — don’t scapegoat migrants.

Cosmic Collaboration murielpearson.com/2025/05/08/cos… A sweet story of collaboration in a desperately polarised society.

Call for Peace murielpearson.com/2025/04/28/cal… My latest blog reflecting on Pope Francis' final call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

We shouldn’t cut a single penny in support for disabled people. We should tax the wealthiest instead. Over 50,000 have backed my petition for wealth taxes, not cuts - as part of our campaign to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts. Sign👇 change.org/wealthtaxes-no…

@alison_phipps Although known locally as the Baptist hospital Al Ahli is an Anglican-run hospital. There are no words of condemnation strong enough for what is happening across Gaza now. Jesus weeps.

Israel: Breaks ceasefire during Ramadan Bombs a Baptist hospital on Palm Sunday Nothing and no one in leadership is going to stop this wickedness; these profound sins. It is our to fast, to protest, and for those for whom this is a practice, to pray.

@DavidMcLachla19 Thankyou David. I am living very comfortably, which is part of the discomfort.

@murielpearson60 Thank you for your Blog, Muriel. It makes for very challenging reading, & much cause for prayer. I can't imagine what it is like to live - or should that be exist - in these conditions. May God keep you safe, & come to the rescue of our innocent brothers & sisters 🙏😘✝️

My latest blog following the urgent call by aid agencies for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Humanitarian Call for Ceasefire Now murielpearson.com/2025/04/11/hum…

A new poll shows 89% of Labour members support a Wealth Tax. Other polls show a massive 78% of the public back a 2% wealth tax on assets worth more than £10 Million. The Goverment should listen, drop the cuts to disability benefits and bring in a Wealth Tax instead
