This was the moment five years ago today when two men who had been removed from their home in Glasgow during Eid by immigration officers were released, following a long stand-off between police and protesters on Kenmure Street.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, marking over 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. As survivors grow fewer and antisemitism rises, today is more vital than ever.

There will be an Opposition Day Debate in the Commons today about David Lammy’s proposals to restrict and to limit the public’s right - your right - to a jury trial.
Here’s what MPs should ask him on behalf of their constituents👇🏼 📣

AOC: New York, we have chosen courage over fear . We have chosen prosperity for the many over spoils for the few. When the entrenched ways would rather have us dig in our feet and seek refuge in the past, we have chosen instead to turn towards making a new future for all of us.

Dear @David_Cameron
I know you mean well, but unfortunately screening for early disease may sound logical and sensible but can also be ineffective and harmful. Recommending a bad test leads to false reassurance, and harms through unnecessary or ineffective treatment that only /
I am disappointed by today’s recommendation on prostate cancer screening from the National Committee.
Targeted screening is a natural first step - but the recommendation today is far too targeted, not including black men or men with a family history, both high-risk groups.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among British men. We are letting down too many men if we don’t push for a wider screening programme that includes all high-risk groups - and not just the men involved, but their families too, who risk losing a loved one unnecessarily.
As I know all too well, prostate cancer can be symptomless early on. That’s why screening is so essential - catching the cancers early when they can be more effectively and successfully treated, like in my own case.
I urge @wesstreeting and the government to be brave and bold on this crucial issue. Make the first step more significant than what’s being recommended. Put in place a proper, targeted screening programme that involves all those at higher-risk. Without it, more men will die, more families will lose a loved one. This is avoidable and can be done.

When we started the @lmhoxford Foundation Year for under-represented students in 2016 there were quite a few sceptics around @UniofOxford “They won’t fit it…we can’t teach them..they’ll lower standards” and so on. Well, the latest data shows that 41 have graduated from LMH so far, 37 of them with firsts or 2:1s. Now, exam grades aren’t everything: there are other measures of success. But these pioneering undergraduates have proved the naysayers so wrong. Delighted the initiative has been rolled out across both Oxford and Cambridge. Some of these 41 are destined to do great things - already are. Grateful to all those at LMH and Oxford who had faith
