    As billions around the world tune in to the World Cup, this is what has happened to football in #Palestine. It has become one of the world's most devastated sporting landscapes. Since October 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 1,007 Palestinian athletes and sports

    The beautiful game belongs to everyone. As Amnesty Ambassador Anita Asante says: the World Cup should be a moment of unity - but we know that's not been the reality for many. Help Amnesty bring people together and fight injustice by buying one of these World Cup t-shirts

    The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our

    The NHS is 78 today. We are all protected by our NHS. From the birth of our kids, the broken bones of childhood, to our final days. Adequate healthcare for all will never be too much to ask. It is a human right. Jimmy the Giant says it best... #NHS78

    If the Secretary of State responsible for social media regulation and oversight says X/Twitter "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities" she should take more decisive action - not just leave the platform. 1/6 🧵

    I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too. A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate. It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
