There aren’t words strong enough to describe the cowardice and depravity of a “military” that will methodically execute medical workers, bury them in mass graves, and tell the NYT the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without lights on. These soldiers and their superiors are utterly depraved and a threat to all humanity. Before hiding the bodies in a mass grave, they forgot to grab the cell phone of one of the medics who recorded his own assassination for the world to see — if it cares. As the “soldiers” are nearing their vehicle, and the medic knows they will murder him, you can hear him saying: “Forgive us, everyone. Oh God, accept me as a martyr and accept my repentance. Oh mother, forgive me, this is the path I have chosen to help people.”

🥹 So, it all ends for Andy Murray next week. 🧵 Time for a thread, me thinks, starting with the point I'll probably remember most from his remarkable career - the Davis Cup clincher from 2015...

A very good man doing the right thing for his country. History will remember him well.

And just like that… The Daily Mail became a supporter and enabler of economic migrants.

How it started. How it ended.

If you are wondering why we use the term "Big Four", watch this clip. Andy Murray was playing points like this and winning big titles in the middle of the prime Big Three era. One of the greatest grass court players this century.

They're watching.

The UK Labour Party says it remains “committed” to reintroducing the Lifetime Allowance on #pension savings, abolished by the Tory party in April this year. ft.com/content/4d2e36a9-00cd…

This is absolute nonsense Kemi and you know it. I met you alongside other colleagues over a year and a half ago and the definition was explained to you in detail - you were asked to detail your concerns / any objections and the basis of it . You DID NOT follow up. Instead all work on Islamophobia ( or whatever you feel we are allowed to call our racism ) has stopped. Ministers do not even engage with the governments OWN cross government working group on your preferred “anti Muslim hatred” The government has dragged its heels on any work to tackle this form of racism. The only structures and programs that still survive are what we put in place during a Cameron government over a decade ago. Amazing flagship programs like Remembering Srebrenica have been defunded. No new initiatives , no engagement with communities , no definition Instead culture wars , othering and blatant anti Muslim racism. As for “blasphemy laws” - you know this isn’t true , as was explained and evidenced in our meeting and as you are well aware the definition like the IHRA definition on antisemitism is a NON legally binding working definition not a “law” PS- just so colleagues word sensibilities are not triggered - the World will in a few weeks mark the United Nations International day to combat #Islamophobia.

This isn’t dog whistle, it’s fog horn. Sunak will remove the whip for this if he has an ounce of either decency or strength.

There’s been a car crash in which a journalist has to explain the government’s own economic figures to the government’s Chief Secretary to the Treasury, who doesn’t understand any of them. Vote. Them. Out.

But according to the right wing press and the Tories, the problem with the NHS is too many "woke diversity officers, wasting time on inclusion and equality"
