In an exclusive interview, the head of the British army General Sir Roland Walker tells us “justice has to be done and justice has to be seen as being done,” in the case of Agnes Wanjiru. I shared this with Agnes’ sister Rose who has been waiting for justice for 14 years.

This is a reckless act of escalation that endangers us all. No discussion. No debate. What a disgrace. How on earth can the Prime Minister still pretend we are not involved? It doesn't matter how he dresses it up. Britain is participating in an illegal war of aggression.

The Green MPs and Peers have written to Keir Starmer to urge for an end to the UK's involvement in the US and Israel's illegal war. Under international law, the UK is obliged to have no involvement in illegal military action, including the use of UK bases and UK-made weapons.

I have a homie who is finishing up his dissertation in the UK and needs an outside reader. His work is on race, education, and embodiment. It's the embodiment piece--how youth carry their bodies, dress, talk, and resist--that he needs the support with. Any scholars come to mind?

This woman epitomises Jewish supremacism. She was born in Hammersmith after her family immigrated to Britain from Poland and Russia. She now thinks she's entitled to stolen land in Palestine. No you're not, Melanie. She's getting a small taste of what her beloved Zionist entity has been doing to Palestinians for nearly 80 years. You don't belong in Jerusalem, Melanie. So stop whining and go home to London.

Something beautiful for your TLs. Dementia is hard on caregivers, particularly family who takes on that caregiver role. It takes its toll. Fiber arts & crafting is so good for the brain, whether for stress relief, memory strengthening, etc. And stories like this warm the heart 🥹

@jcniala Fantastic JC, congrats 🥳 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Being an ordinary person in 2026 is weird. You wake up, make coffee, hit the gym, drive to work, answer emails… while somewhere else missiles are flying, flights are being cancelled, families are hiding in basements. The world is burning in one tab, and you’re expected to be productive in another. Modern life is emotionally absurd.
