Am currently in #Turkey visiting relatives. Woke up at around 04.20 local time to a huge earthquake that lasted a lifetime. Aftershocks too. Am now sat outside in the car wrapped in blankets. Roads and pavements are full. And we’re about 300 km away from the epicentre…

In Olympic shooting, they use equipment like: > A lens to avoid blur > A lens for better precision > ear protectors for noise Then a Turkish guy (Dikeç) came and won a silver medal with just a pair of GLASSES.

#Gaza has become hell on earth. Families continue to seek refuge, trying to escape war, but there is no such thing as a safe place in the Gaza Strip. No one is safe: not civilians, not aid workers, no one has been spared. We need a #CeasefireNow.

Decades from now everyone will say they were against what Israel did in Gaza. In the social media age we will know who is lying. Perhaps if our leaders won't act out of concern for Palestinian lives and dignity, they can be convinced to consider their own personal legacies (7/)

Great to hear a deal to free hostages may have been struck. Can they please now work on a ceasefire? thetimes.co.uk/article/52b17… #CeasefireNOW

The UK government has failed to provide diplomatic protection to the Palestinian Mission in London, in line with international norms. The lack of any action by the British government is inexplicable and unacceptable.
Increasing attacks against the Palestinian Mission to the UK as the British Government continues to ignore requests for diplomatic protection On Saturday 18 November, 2023, at 23.05 the Palestinian Mission to the UK was attacked and vandalised. In addition to death threats, damage to vehicles and vandalism of property, this is the fourth attack in the last few weeks. All attacks and threats have been reported to the British police and the president of the State of Palestine has requested immediate diplomatic police protection to the Mission in London from the U.K. prime minister, holding the UK government responsible for the safety of the Palestinian ambassador, staff and families. Until today, the UK government has failed to provide such diplomatic protection, in line with international norms. The lack of any action by the British government, ignoring Palestinian rights and concerns, is inexplicable and unacceptable.   It is the responsibility of the U.K. government to enable the Palestinian Mission in London to function unhindered. We urge, yet again, the British government to take immediate steps to ensure the security and safety of the Palestinian Mission, its ambassador and staff.

The Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza might be killing children at a rate unprecedented in 21st-century conflict, this data suggests. (By @RubyMellen @arturgalocha & @juledurg) washingtonpost.com/world/int…

I am deeply disturbed by the horrible situation and dramatic loss of life in several hospitals in Gaza. In the name of humanity, I call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire.

Credibility: The Israeli army said it had targeted “a suspicious vehicle containing several terrorists” The only people in the car were three girls, ages 14, 12, and 10, their grandmother, and their mother. All were killed except the mother. hrw.org/news/2023/11/14/leba…

This letter is so badly written I’m still unsure as to whether it’s real or whether I’ve been duped by a parody account 🤔
Enough is enough, I have submitted my vote of no confidence letter to the Chairman of the 1922. It is time for Rishi Sunak to go and replace him with a 'real' Conservative party leader.
