Yesterday I led a debate in Westminster Hall calling for urgent action to tackle air pollution in our country. Today I have written to the Minister urging the Government to make changes to the MOT that would take dangerous polluting vehicles off the road. @wcraq
Another innocent Iranian protester is at risk of immediate execution. The Islamic Republic has confirmed the death sentence of #MohammadHosseini after a sham trial without due process. Please amplify this grave injustice. It could save his life. #MahsaAmini #IranRevoIution

And everyone agrees we should build hundreds of thousands more, seldom mentioning the build (or design) quality. Top work by Olly

The boat rides beautifully. She turns upwind like a dancer and falters into the still water under the house like a vessel of silk. — Lawrence Durrell, Prospero’s Cell (1945) Frédéric Boissonnas, "Au sortir du golfe." / L’Image de la Grèce (1919)
‘It came from IKEA in 1990. It cost 1 pound. It had been with me for 33 years’. I can’t say how happy I was to read that THE SECRET OF COOKING encouraged @realnikisegnit to reclaim her box grater.

There are some foul people on the far left and right who are antisemites and I spend a lot of my free time working to defeat them. But they are a small minority.
I don't feel alone. Dozens of non-Jews have expressed sympathy and asked if I have family in Israel etc... and I'm grateful for it.
One of the things my non-Jewish friends here in the UK can’t grasp. An open invitation to pay respect to murdered Jews is attended almost entirely by Jews. A march for Palestine attracts thousands of non-Palestinians. Which is fine - but we feel so alone in our own country
If you want to help you can always support the Holocaust Educational Trust to defend the truth of what happened and ensure young people have the knowledge to stand up against antisemitism, prejudice and extremism. het.org.uk/donate

I've been deeply shocked by the events of the past few days - all just so despairingly sad. Struggling to process it all, struggling for words. This by @ottolenghi however resonated with me. My heart goes out to all the people in the region, their friends, their families. 💔
There is no tolerance for hate in our city. I remain in close contact with the Met Police. Whoever did this will face the full force of the law. I stand with Jewish Londoners, today and always.
A Kosher restaurant in Golders Green, north London, vandalised and a bridge metres away branded with ‘Free Palestine’. As in previous conflicts involving Israel, British Jews are being targeted amid a rise in antisemitic attacks
A full and rounded life, creative and curious, touched more than once by family tragedy (three children predeceased him) and very nearly cut short by the sort of bungling one was expected to simply shrug off during the war.
Michael Bentine is somewhat forgotten now but I remember the high esteem he was held in our household, in much the same way as Peter Ustinov and Victor Borge. Polished, urbane, cultured but mischievous, twinkly, warm. Everything worn lightly. And Peruvian, like Paddington.
As clear an exposition of British foreign policy in the East as I ever hope to see.
