Always an amazing moment for an author to receive a printed copy of their new book for the first time - particularly on this occasion, with ‘Swan Song’ being my most personal work by some distance. At the end of the day, it’s a brother’s tribute to an extraordinary sister.

The Government is committed to a two-state solution which sees Israelis and Palestinians living alongside each other in peace and security.  We will not stand for intimidation or attempts to hold Jewish people responsible for events overseas. As Communities Secretary, I want to reassure British Jews that we stand firmly with the community here in the UK and your safety and freedom will always be our priority.

An amazing video of Dolly Parton singing one of her most famous songs in Páidí Ó Sé’s pub in Ventry Co. Kerry 🇮🇪 in 1990 How did Páidí pull that coup off #RIPDolly

Anybody wanna go to a party with me? 🤠

Working with Dolly on “Home Sweet Home” was one of the true highlights of our career. We can still hear her voice saying, “Well, how about that, Dolly and Mötley at #1?” Thank you for the music, the laughter, the kindness and the inspiration, Dolly. Our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and fans around the world. With love and respect, Mötley Crüe

The Home Office already had a 42-page guide to British law and culture for asylum seekers. This week it decided that was not enough. So it published a dedicated guide to consent, rape, domestic abuse and sex with children. It opens: “Laws and customs here may be different from your home country.” For twenty years, people were attacked for making that connection. Now the Home Office has printed it. Who's the racist now?

A fundraising campaign has been launched in memory of Kingswinford man Jim Dinan, a West Midlands Police officer of 24 years and advocate for men’s mental health, who died unexpectedly aged 50. Mr Dinan died in his sleep on Saturday, August 8, while taking pain medication for a back problem, friends and family said. They said he had otherwise been in good health and had been looking forward to an early retirement, with plans to spend more time with his wife Bel and their two children, aged 18 and 13. During more than two decades with West Midlands Police, Mr Dinan was known among colleagues for his commitment to helping others. His family said he spoke warmly about his work and regarded his team and wider colleagues as a second family. In July last year, he helped set up the Guardians Guild, a non-profit group supporting men’s mental health in the Kingswinford and Stourbridge areas. The group holds monthly gatherings intended to give men an informal setting in which to talk, make friends and build support networks before reaching crisis point. Activities have included walks, pub visits and curry nights. Friends said Mr Dinan believed it was important for men to be able to speak openly about their feelings and seek support when needed. A memorial and fundraising appeal has now been set up to support the future, education and wellbeing of his children. His family and friends said they hoped the campaign would honour his public service, his work to support men’s mental health and the impact he had on the Kingswinford community. A spokesperson said: "Above all else, Jim was a fiercely devoted family man. "Nothing meant more to him than his wife, Bel, and their two children, aged 18 and 13.” "He was a playful, loving father who would spend hours watching his children's dance routines, talking about their days and cooking for them."

This is a true story and relates to a post about ex Armed Forces and housing. Some of us have also served in the armed forces. I am one of 125 MoD caretakers across the UK and NI. We work at Army Reserve and UOTC centres. All of us have to live in tied accommodation that comes as part of our employment. The 125 of us will be made redundant on the 31st of March 2027. This is not a personal choice; we are part of the MoD's 10% cost-saving cuts. We are the lowest paid in the MoD; we earn less per annum than a 17-and-a-half-year-old in basic training in the Army. Some of us have served for decades. Yet we are committed and steadfast in maintaining the operational security and effectiveness of the Reserves Centres that we work at and in some cases manage. When we are made redundant, our tied accommodation must be emptied and ready to hand over by the 31st of March. We and our families are not entitled to be rehomed. Again, this is not our choice; this action is being forced on us after years and decades of dedicated service to the MoD, the Army, and the our Country. This is a life-changing event for us all. There is a lack of information, and as each week counts down to March, the stress on us all and our families increases. Yet, here in the UK, we have not only non-taxpayers but also people who are in our country illegally being given new priority housing. Nobody is interested in our story or wants to help, and the media, with ethe exception of (The Scotsman) either do not want to report on or publish our story, or the information they are relating to is incorrect. This is a true story and relates to UK tax paying nationals. Some of us have also served in the armed forces, and at least one of us is currently on Operational Tour, and will not be back in the UK by March 31st. 🤬🤬🤬
