Never ever ever buy from @ao. Washing machine worked for 5 weeks then stopped spinning. 3 weeks and counting and their supplier's contractor's subcontractor "hasn't yet received the parts". Advice to others: never accept a repair - request a refund. 😡😡😩

LIVE from the International Court of Justice: I'm watching the #ICJ's order following the #genocide charges lodged by South Africa. If you're interested in law, #HumanRights or international relations, it's a fascinating judgment to hear. #Gaza #Israel #Palestine @CIJ_ICJ

"As a Muslim, he spoke about being pinned down as a teenager while having red wine forced down his throat. He recounted how a fellow player, who was fasting, would be blamed for any mistakes." - SG @ZaraM01 #Islamophobia in action. ➡️Read: bit.ly/3Hod4sS #AzeemRafiq

We are sad to learn of the death of Hajra Catic, a mother from Srebrenica who passed away yesterday. She campaigned tirelessly for justice and truth but sadly died without ever finding the remains of her son Nihad which had been her only remaining wish. buff.ly/3H7B57k

Just watched this documentary on so-called “virginity clinics” in the UK, purporting to certify and even “restore” women’s virginity through hymenoplasty. #HonourClinics Presented by @SaharZand and featuring @PayzeeMalika @nazirafzal itv.com/hub/britains-virgini…

I appreciate the complexities of tackling so-called “honour” based violence, but I do think half the problem lies with double standards some people apply to women and girls. #VirginityDoesNotDefineMe #HonourClinics

My thoughts and love are with David’s family. They are all that matter now. This brings everything back. The pain, the loss, but also how much love the public gave us following the loss of Jo. I hope we can do the same for David now.

I’ve just singed @FreefromTorture’s Official Record of Support for #Refugees. Pls do so too! “No one plans to become a refugee. But when someone is forced to flee for their safety and leave their home behind, they deserve our compassion and solidarity.” act.freedomfromtorture.org/a…
The Union Flags have been lowered to half-mast above Downing Street as a mark of respect for Sir David Amess MP.
