As Global Co-Chair of @IPNEducation I utterly condemn the arrest of @matiullahwesa founder of @PenPath1 and girls’ and women’s education right defender in Afghanistan.

When the Home Sec makes an important statement about anti social behaviour and only 8 Labour MPs bother to turn up…
…..it’s not as if they are out of town as there are votes today…🤷♀️

RT @RishiSunak: We’re cracking down on anti-social behaviour. That means:
BANS on NOS
BIGGER FINES for graffiti
MORE POWERS to stop drug use

Honoured to welcome @RishiSunak to Chelmsford today at the Essex Girls (and Boys) Club😉
Anti-social behaviour can have a devastating impact on those affected.
Extra funding for Hot Spot Policing will help our local police target specific areas.

Heartbreaking. 🥲
RT @Gerashchenko_en: Several kids that Russia kidnapped were returned to Ukraine. Listen to what they say.
They were told their parents abandoned them, promised adoption into 🇷🇺 families and told they are now forever "children of Russia"
And Russian discipline: getting beaten with a metallic rod.

RT @ZelenskyyUa: Zaporizhzhia. Right now, residential areas where ordinary people and children live are being fired at.
This must not become "just another day" in 🇺🇦 or anywhere else in the world. The world needs greater unity and determination to defeat Russian terror faster and protect lives.

RT @NilofarAyoubi: The school year has just started in Afghanistan, but girls aren’t allowed by the Taliban to attend classes. The education that they so desperately crave, the opportunity to learn has been ripped away from them, leaving them with nothing but tears and https://t.co/pIyo6KDycu…

This morning I met brave women from Afghanistan who spoke of the deep, deep trauma faced by women and girls in their country.
Tonight we hear news of an earthquake … bringing even more trauma.

RT @shabnamdawran: As we celebrate Nawroz, we must not forget the struggles of Afghan girls and women who have lost their basic rights. Education is a right that must be accessible to all. Let's stand with them and advocate for their freedom this new year. #Nawroz #Afghanistan #EducationForAl

RT @NasimiShabnam: This #Nowruz, will mark the 2nd year of the Taliban BANNING girls over age of 11 from going to school.
That’s 545 days since the Taliban closed school gates to girls. Afghanistan is the ONLY country on earth that bans girl’s education. A grave injustice.

RT @SteveBarclay: I have made a formal offer to unions following constructive talks.
It will give staff including nurses, paramedics and physios a fair pay rise while protecting our commitment to halve inflation.
NHS workers do a brilliant job and I urge union members to accept this offer.
