It was a great pleasure today to attend the launch of Watchlist's annual report to the UNSG in advance of his CAAC report,
A challenging internship that has drawn on both emotional and intellectual strength.
I learnt a lot with my great team, Joe and Gloria.
Yesterday I visited Southwark Cathedral, it was beautiful and moving.
The exhibition by
@OpenDoorsUK
brought the sober reminder of persecuted young women and other Christians around the world.
Their stories are important. The children persecuted in conflict must be known.

While many European countries are taking real action to help with the cost of living, Westminster inaction is failing families.
Interesting to see in the Times today, the choice of Royal photograph has Princess Charlotte covering Harry's face and HRH Camilla Parker-Bowles' hat covering the face of Prince Andrew.
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE NATIONAL
Start talking about the fact Sturgeon got officials to alter evidence, change dates and cover-up for Alex Salmond.
This is corruption. This is obstruction. This is dangerous.
NEW:
Green Party London Assembly Member Sian Berry has resigned her seat just 3 days after winning it.
She is also the Green Party's candidate for Brighton Pavilion in the General Election.
Here's a man who took a crisis conjured by clowns, cowards and bankrupts - and saved the foundation of society.
Gordon Brown is one of the best statesman and economic thinkers of all time.
#OTD
2009. Prime Minister Gordon Brown is honoured in New York as 'World Statesman of the Year'.
Bono was in attendance as Henry Kissinger praises Brown for his "vision and dedication" in handling the world economic crisis.
After an urgent request from NATO, Iโve authorised the activation of a battalion of British soldiers to keep the peace in Kosovo
In the coming days, hundreds of service men & women will deploy to ensure the safety & freedom of all in Kosovo and I know they will do the UK proud
British drinking laws should consider permitting beer & cider sales in licensed pubs & bars to 16 & 17 year olds.
Bring it in off the streets and into a safer environment:
> sober adult around to clear glass
> get cut off when had too much
> no smoking/exposure to drugs
I keep telling you people, when they say "there's no money left" what they mean is there's no money left for you.
They can continually find money for overpriced barges, faulty PPE and now a 45% increase in the yearly grant to someone with a private fortune of nearly ยฃ2bn.
George Galloway is a dangerous misogynist, homophobe and antisemite.
He was keenly in the pay of Russian propaganda (RT) and defends torturous regimes like Bashir Al-Assad.
His election represents hate and intolerance.
The man pretending to be of the Clergy,
@CalvinRobinson
has blocked me.
He's a disgrace to his professed faith, and should feel ashamed! He's a vile man hiding behind a fake title to pass off his own political views. It is an insult

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tells SNP conference her party will make "the positive case" for Scottish independence
Jacinda Ardern's legacy will be abandoning the Western Intelligence community and devaluing NZ's commitment to human rights, all for a few pennies from China.
A fact very important in all this SNP business funding fraud, is that when it came to grants they universally(!!!) cut all grants by 25%
Not only did they STEAL business grant money, they also cut the money that did get through to businesses.
Val McDermid going after Keir Starmer's knighthood as a sign he's not 'for the working class' on the BBC.
This Val McDermid, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, who studied at St Hilda's college, Oxford?

Gromit; Labour.
Assuming Dog enfranchisement, Gromit diligently fills in his postal ballot for Labour excited by the prospects for nuclear technology and the need for new housing.
Wallace; Labour (tactical)
Small business owner/inventor with a precarious income, owns a mortgage and worried about how his interest rate changes will affect him.
After a run-in with Feathers McGraw, very anti-tennant making him cautious of Labour.
Call it now!
I wanna know your predictions for seat numbers of:
Tories

Then ome back here on the 5th of July to see who got closest.
"They're only empty words until you get into government."
"With the great respect, [signing] this is going to make absolutely no difference because that's not going to pass, is it?"
Jess Phillips is spot on here.
These media stunts mean nothing.
We were really disappointed to hear this from
@JessPhilips
when we challenged her to back the
#GreenNewDeal
bill in Jan. Jess, we're building a political consensus around this bill, and you're either with us or against us - there's no time to play political games with our future.
Feathers McGraw; Conservative
Very pleased with the lack of police due to budget cuts and the cuts to security budgets by the National Museum due to poor funding, McGraw is awaiting the sell-off of National treasures to have another chance at stealing.
Shaun (the Sheep); Labour
Shaun would never change his baa-llot, dedicated TUC delegate every year for the NUS (National Union of Sheep, of course), he's a firebrand loyalists to the Unions. Militantly pro-Mick Lynch and loves Sharon Graham. Advocates closed shop.
