An entire culture, history and people are disappearing under the rubble – buried by the moral cowardice of our political leaders.
Artists whose work we will never know.
Teachers whose lessons we will never learn.
Children whose laughter we will never hear.
We must keep raising our voice for an immediate ceasefire. For the universal application of international law. For our shared humanity.
For the only path to a just & lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

I have found 19th Century non-fiction texts (and 'light show') useful from english.ox.ac.uk/diseases-mo… Lots of really interesting texts. @EnglishFE3 @draperel @AQAEnglish
Any ideas on where to find accessible and interesting 🙃 19th century essays for GCSE English Lang for use with FE 16-19 resit students? 🙏 @draperel #teamenglishfe @AQAEnglish @Themeconference

An emotional goodbye to our dear friend @jonsnowC4 tonight. A true titan of real journalism - never afraid to challenge injustice, always first to show compassion. What a delight and an honour it has been sharing your studio. Bereft without you! Thank you and Godspeed 🥰

“The most Christian thing that has happened in my lifetime is the Welfare State.”
Donald Soper, Methodist minister and Labour peer, died #OnThisDay 1998. A lifelong socialist, Soper argued that the policies of Margaret Thatcher were inherently incompatible with Christianity.
