CCTV suggests this necklace w. the 4 wedding rings was lost round Haymarket W1. The Police no longer deal with lost items so even if someone went to hand it in there is no central system to find it. She is desperate to have this personal treasure back. Please RT #reward #lost

Lucille Ball, doing a Q&A with UCLA theater students for America Alive! in 1978, repeatedly ordered co-host David Sheehan to stop touching female students. She knew the girls felt powerless to speak up, so she used her power to speak up for them. Queen.

And @HumzaYousaf puts his hands on the female protestor, because of course he does. Would he stroke the arm of a male heckler? Would he physically take hold of him? Or would he respect a fellow man's personal space and physical boundaries when trying to reassert his authority?
🗣️“Folks, let’s not boo.” The moment a heckler disrupts Humza Yousaf’s flagship independence speech to SNP members. The First Minister leaves the stage to try and engage with protester.

Only sadness, and anger, after another deadly tragedy at sea in the Mediterranean. May the victims rest in peace. May the survivors find consolation and care. May governments cooperate to increase safe pathways and work together on collective solutions to address these flows. – at Geneva, Switzerland
It is heart-breaking. 41 bodies recovered & fears that hundreds more may be missing in a shipwreck off Pylos, Greece. Such tragic deaths at sea are avoidable. We need more safe pathways for people forced to flee. They should not be left with impossible life-threatening choices.

Charlotte Owen has gone from parliamentary intern to Baroness in 6 years, a record? 🤨 (incidentally we were at uni together and no one remembers her showing any great prowess for legislative scrutiny)

Word of the day is ‘mumpsimuses’ (16th century): those who insist they are right and apportion blame to others without looking at themselves.

Anyone would think Nadhim Zahawi personally jabbed each of us with the covid vaccine the way Ministers are talking this morning. It’s thanks to our nurses and doctors you idiots!

I’m not sure the strategy of ‘you’re not clever enough to understand our growth plan you plebs’ is going to wash with voters.
