Women's football isn't a smaller version of the men's game.
Great article by @msmirandasawyer about the ever-inspiring @LewesFCWomen.
And the "woman in charge of a film festival for women over 50"? C'est moi and c'est @WO50FF! 😊⚽️🧡

Congratulations to the Mother of the House, re-elected for the 10th time to represent the people of Hackney North & Stoke Newington 👸🏾
With 264 women elected last night, @HackneyAbbott becomes the longest serving woman MP in the most representative Parliament in history.

When Labour lost the support of voters in the 'red wall' in 2019, politicians and pundits said, rightly, that the party should listen and engage with them.
Why is that same courtesy not extended to Muslim voters who are just as much a part of Labour's working-class heartlands?

Walthamstow from the bottom of my heart I am truly grateful to be re elected to represent our community in Westminster - we have rejected the hatred and division so many wish to foster and I will do everything to stand up and speak up for the future of hope and change we need.

When you've got to announce the election results at 9 and perform When Doves Cry at 10.
Unbelievably proud of the work everyone @WO50FF & @VirginAtlantic has done to bring the world's first dementia-friendly in-flight entertainment programme to the skies!

I was able to achieve my dreams because of access to public services.
As your Independent MP I will fight for South Chingford Community Library and prioritise building our public infrastructure.

My only response to this is:
In order for me to write poetry that isn't political, I must listen to the birds
and in order to hear the birds
the warplanes must be silent

If you can't get enough of #TracyChapman #FastCar this love letter from @sarahkendzior is a must read.
If you have never met Sarah; she writes history.
I wrote about Tracy Chapman and what "Fast Car" means for America in the 1980s and now sarahkendzior.substack.com/p…

“I saw In Auschwitz that if a dominant group wants to dehumanise others, as the Nazis dehumanise me, the dominant group must first dehumanise themselves, the same holds nowadays for Israel.
I am appalled about how hateful, how dehumanised, that they do not see any human aspect in any Palestinian anymore.
The Zionists have no right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose, they have given up everything which has to do with humanity and with empathy”
