This poor couple are clearly just being held as hostages for some future deal. Itโ€™s scandalous that theyโ€™re being held prisoner, and Iran should release them at once. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c68xโ€ฆ

This eveningโ€™s Sky News Afghanistan special, brought to us by intrepid journalist @AlexCrawfordSky, piles horror upon horror. But it is worth watching to understand the reality of life for women in Afghanistan today, in their own words. In this clip, a woman bravely agrees to be interviewed with her voice distorted. She was particularly distressed because, on the day of the interview, the Taliban were in the streets loudly celebrating the anniversary of their takeover. Hearing those celebrations was deeply painful for her.

Penrhos was created as a nature reserve in the early 1970s . The then Prince Charles actually officially opened Penrhos as a nature reserve ,local People and visitors alike have walked around taking in the #beauty and wildlife enjoying the #tranquillity of the #woods and the #beaches truly enjoying #nature but now Penrhos is under threat! There is planning permission to destroy this beautiful haven and make it another generic holiday camp โ€œwith all mod consโ€at The huge cost of destroying acres of land that is home to some of our rarest #wildlife !

Penrhos is a haven for wildlife, Here are some of the different habitats that our wildlife call home at penrhos and some just visit .The Cymyran and Beddmanarch bay SSSI coastline seen here supporting 3 red listed Curlew, the drumlin with beautiful wild flowers including yellow rattle and then the woodland with ancient and mature trees which supports red squirrels another endangered species. This area should be protected and should never have been sold ! Let alone granted planning permission to build a 500 chalet holiday village with parking for 1000 cars !

This thread explodes the myth that changing room crimes are a recent phenomenon. Predatory males have always sought easy access to their victims. โ€˜Family changing villagesโ€™ or โ€˜all genders changingโ€™ are euphemisms for mixed-sex changing rooms where male predators know there will be women and children in a state of undress - easy access to their victims facilitated by local authorities who put cost before safeguarding. Our Leisure Centre Reports uncovered the scale of sexual crimes in mixed-sex changing rooms. Link to our reports page: womensrights.network/wrn-repโ€ฆ
Replying to @DrPamGosal
Around 30 yrs ago, a female child was brutally raped by a stranger in Highland Councilโ€™s Aquadome pool. It happened in the unisex changing areas which they then scrapped, returning to single sex areas. Someone at Highland Council should explain why they think theyโ€™re safe now.

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public still has NO IDEA Artemis II is, right this minute, taking humans to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE MUST GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

My dear client. He sat beside me when I told his story to the Inquiry. I feel numb at his passing. He suffered so much and endured tremendous grief. He was stoical but marked by tragedy. Those malignants who put him through all this are beneath contempt.
#PostOfficeScandal #ParmodKalia #StateSponsoredCrime The Quiet Dignity of Parmod Kalia (6th December 1958 โ€“13th March, 2026) Parmod Kalia was a trained Banker. An Associate of the Institute of Bankers. Assistant Bank Manager. Treasurer of an International Charity. A man for whom every penny had to be accounted for. He chose the Orpington Post Office for the quiet life. Stable hours. Time with his wife and four children. The Horizon system repaid that modest ambition with a phantom shortfall of ยฃ22,202.01. Post Office Ltd told him he was "the only one." The National Federation of SubPostmasters โ€” his supposed protector โ€” told him to repay the money and fabricate a story. He borrowed ยฃ22,000 from his Mother's life savings. Post Office pocketed every penny. Then they prosecuted him anyway. 6 months in Prison. 14 years in hiding. 3 occasions where he nearly took his own life. A 17 year estrangement from his son Mahesh, who was just 17 when they took his father away. Children who grew up asking: "Dad, have you taken the money?" His own children. Asking if their father was a thief. Because the State told them he was. His conviction was finally quashed in May 2021. He should have spent his remaining years in peace, rebuilding what was stolen. Instead, the Post Office unleashed elite City law firms to fight tooth and claw over every penny piece of his Redress. They challenged causation. They delayed. They low-balled. They rejected his interim claim of ยฃ100,000 on "public interest grounds." Highly paid lawyers โ€” billing more per hour than Parmod earned in a week โ€” deployed forensic cruelty against a traumatised, terminally declining man whose only demand was that someone look him in the eye and say: 'we did this to you, and we are sorry'. He tragically died on March 13, 2026. Still fighting. Still waiting. Still uncompensated. Still dignified. The inhumane savages masquerading as lawyers who wage this war of attrition against Parmod, his family and hundreds like him will simply move on, adjust their cufflinks, sip their flat whites, and open the next file. Another victim. Another billable hour. This obscene tragedy simply cannot continue. The time is long overdue for the Prime Minister to intervene โ€” to show some leadership, some backbone, and some basic human decency. These are not commercial disputes. These are traumatised victims of a State-sponsored crime. The lawyers instructed to handle their redress must be ordered โ€” ordered โ€” to show compassion, humanity, and urgency. Every day of delay is another day stolen. And as Parmod Kalia's demise has proved, the days run out. Rest now, Parmod. The truth outlived them all. The shame belongs to those who made you wait. @Keir_Starmer @darrenpjones @biztradegovuk @AGinsight @liambyrnemp @commonsBTC @RachelReevesMP @DavidDavisMP @kevinhollinrake @CastletonLee @Janetsk20073533 @SeemaMisra_OBE @edwardhenry1 @BBCEmmaSimpson @nickwallis @Karlfl @marksweney @hrw @Cyclefree2 @DanNeidle @SkyNewsAdele @BBCBreakfast @ElCShaikh @VarchasPatel @Pinsent_Masons @hmtreasury @HouseofCommons @premnsikka @TimBushLondon @UKHouseofLords @TjX50 @Malcolm22206844 @NFSP @postoffice @PostOfficeNews @NFSP_UK @voiceofthepm @NigelRailton
