Toto Schillaci – a tribute. Schillaci, who has passed away aged 59, was the comet that tore across Italia 90, helping light up an unforgettable World Cup. The Sicilian’s eyes burned with intensity, and his whole body exuded a passion for goals, for the game and for his country.

671k 18-22 have yet to claim their Child trust fund money per latest data from HMRC released today. As this is an average £2.2k = huge sums that have often forgotten about! Use HMRC online tool gov.uk/child-trust-fu… to trace if you have one if this might apply to you

Very pleased to be working on this important project - and with this super team. The new website gives a hint of what's to come in the months and years ahead.

Ministers use diplomatic language to maintain relationships. It’s not something backbenchers do. But WG use language to indicate strong intent. The Minister’s statement & funding commitment is a shot across the bows of Cardiff University leadership. They are being closely watched 👇

My case included claims of automatic unfair dismissal for whistleblowing, unfair dismissal and discrimination. Of the 6 staff made redundant in 2021 who fought their cases, 5/6 staff won substantial elements of their cases and I was offered a financial settlement. WhistleblowersUK 2/3

There's a growing row brewing in Wales over the recent benefits cuts. Wales' First Minister Eluned Morgan said she'd written to Liz Kendall (Sec of State for Work and Pensions) calling on a Welsh specific assessment of the changes. Then it starts getting weird... [Thread]

We are expected to be good Americans and look the other way as Israel prevents food, water, and medicine from reaching the remaining people of Gaza. Israel is literally starving them to death…We must speak out and demand a change in policy. We can’t be complicit in starving kids

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

BREAKING - I understand a large number of MPs - potentially 80+ and including select committee chair are signing a reasoned amendment to the welfare bill which declines to give it a second reading

This is what matters. Not chants, artists, festivals. While the UK press and political establishment are engaged in navel gazing fury, innocent men, women and children in Gaza continue to be massacred with impunity. For shame. Our future generations should never forgive us.

This is prominent Palestinian journalist Bayan Abusultan after miraculously survived an Israeli strike on a cafe that, with one of Gaza's last reliable wi-fi connections, is widely known as somewhere journalists gather to work. Early reports indicate 33 civilians were killed.

‘What disturbs you the most about the Glastonbury chants?’ ‘They get more attention than the genocide of Gazans.’ Journalist rachel shabi, who is Jewish, weighs in on the fallout of Bob Vylan’s controversial performance.

This would be sensible if the aim is to craft long-term, considered policy rather than impose what would now be, on the latest u-turns, a short-term fudge that risks compromising the Timms review. But, what is going on with Labour's management of the Work and Pensions portfolio?
