Flavour of the protest outside the Cambridge Union. Police have maintained a hands off approach and the protest remains peaceful and loud.

Asylum seekers do not want to stay in hotels. These hotels are not luxurious. I know. I've visited several across the UK and reported on the terrible conditions. Mould. Crumbling walls. Asylum seekers developing asthma, skin conditions and mental health issues. Constant limbo.

Imagine knowing your father was kidnapped hours before having to face Messi in the World Cup. Incredible story on @mikel_john_obi and the trauma he's had to endure.

Boris Johnson has finally announced the start of the inquiry into how Covid was handled in Britain. None of this would’ve happened without the tireless campaigning of @CovidJusticeUK - especially @jo_goody . Bereaved families deserve answers. It shouldn’t of taken this long.

Take half hour of your day to read this takedown of Modi by Dexter Filkins and tell me that @RanaAyyub isn't a hero

Dexter Filkins’ @NewYorker story about Modi’s India performs a very simple service that way too much American journalism on Modi has refused to provide: Simply going over the record and examining the man’s words and actions.

Yesterday we published a video showing a young boy running to his grandmother after she was shot dead in a so called “safe zone” in Gaza. Colleagues in Jerusalem, Gaza & London have now patched together what took place on that fateful day.
