My dad & grandad were London cabbies. Dad is no longer here but I know exactly where he would have been today, on Westminster Bridge waiting to take our veterans home. Two generations of my family belonged to this trade. I have never been prouder of either of them. There are some debts a nation can never repay but it can always remember whom it owes.
London cabbies lined up on Westminster bridge ready to take veterans home, free of charge, from the Remembrance Sunday service in Whitehall. 👏👏👏

Shabir Ahmed, the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang, spent 14 years in prison for his horrific crimes. The maximum sentence for avoiding Labour's holiday tax? 14 years. It sounds too insane to be true - but it is.

If @Ed_Miliband truly wants to develop an “ethical foreign policy” that promotes and defends our values and interests, he should prioritise securing the release of Joshua Wong, Jimmy Lai and other prisoners in China, and addressing the human rights and humanitarian crisis in Myanmar #FreeJoshuaWong #FreeJimmyLai #FreeZion8 #FreeZhangYadi Stop #UyghurGenocide #FreeTibet #SaveMyanmar Miliband, the PM for world affairs? thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…

URGENCE ABSOLUE : Saghar Gholami, 19 ans, condamnée à la pendaison en Iran. Arrêtée en janvier 2026 à Gonbad-e Kavus pour avoir manifesté pour sa liberté, elle risque le gibet à tout moment. Le silence tue, brisons l'isolement ! Partagez massivement son nom. #SagharGholami
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The girl in question was arrested in Jan 2026 on national security grounds but she was released on bail mid-April. Even grok verified it. No credible report of her fresh detention again or any exection risk. The post is misleading. x.com/grok/status/21…

❄️ Hossam Abu Safiya is shivering to the bone… His prison cell is colder than his body and harsher than the night. The freezing concrete is taking a devastating toll on his health, and his weight continues to drop day after day. If we do not act now… he may disappear too. ✊🏻 #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

There’s something about @Taylor_Fritz97 that I’ve always admired.He is such a genuine, classy, noble person, and this photo captures that beautifully. I sincerely wish him health, happiness, and all the Majors he deserves. Above all, his son is lucky to call him Dad. ❤️

#الدكتور_حسام_أبوصفية ما اختار أن يكون بطلاً لكنه دخل التاريخ رمزا أبديا للظلم الطبيب القابع في أسر القتلة يطلّ علينا على استحياء ، آثار التعذيب على ذراعيه، والتنكيل بادِ على هيئته. يسترق النظر إلينا ليتأكد من خذلاننا . أيّها الصامد العظيم كلّما طللتَ ابكيتنا 💔

Wilhelmina Barns-Graham moved to St Ives in Cornwall in 1940 (the date of this work) when it had become a kind of wartime capital of English modernism, then represented by a very small number of artists including Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo.

We need more people speaking out against the genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Thousands have been killed for their faith - and the world keeps ignoring it.
