With a new series of Shetland starting last night, it's time to give you a wee bit of history about the famous Lerwick home of Jimmy Perez in the show.
In real life, it's known as "The Lodberrie" and gives us a glimpse back in time to 18th century Lerwick.

Just stop sending the bombs that are falling on them.
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.
To that end, the United States will provide nearly $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon for essential needs such as food, shelter, water, protection, and sanitation to help those who have been displaced by the recent conflict. This additional support brings total U.S. assistance to Lebanon over the last year to over $385 million.

I'm trying to get back into the habit of writing and I've put together this piece on my recent trip to Portugal. It would mean a lot if you would give it a read and share 🚋🇵🇹

This is what it feels like to be alive as we approach the end of the world as we know it. There is time to avoid the worst but it means every single one of us becoming activists. Leave it to other people and we are toast. Listen to David Attenborough who warned us time and again

British Government, you should be ASHAMED at the Windrush deportations! No more delays in compensation. This should never have happened in the first place.

Step 1: vote tactically to get the Conservatives out of government.
Step 2: put Labour under a huge amount of pressure to halt and reverse NHS privatisation.

When I was growing up we couldn’t afford books. I spent hundreds of hours in our local library. But for that library I might not be a lawyer today. The Tories have closed almost 800 of them. It’s almost as if they don’t want us to read

Thirteen years ago Jared and I entered our civil partnership - the first couple to do so in parliament. I never used to think love would come to me - but Jared made it so. He continues to do so every day.

Lest we ever forget. 4 years ago 51 fellow human beings were brutally killed in a terror attack in mosques in #Christchurch. I was in York mosque in the UK at the time & the Reverend of York Minster joined us & stood in solidarity with his Muslim brothers & sisters.
