The novelist Kurt Vonnegut wrote in 2005 that Susan Sontag said this when asked about the Holocaust: “10 per cent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 per cent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 per cent can be moved in either direction.”

I just went to Cobham to get my kids some toys and went into a shop called FARRANTS There is a MASSIVE picture that is pride of place at the point of payment. It is an image of black men, broken black men at a tobacco plantation with their overseers next to them?!?! I kid you not! This is in a family store, this imagery is massive triggering and racist. And there is no conceivable reason it should be there! I’m so thankful I wasn’t with my girls. How on earth could anyone have shopped there and found that image acceptable. This is exhausting and damaging to many people.

This video from Ireland is incredibly painful to watch, the way this little black girl keeps looking, hoping to be seen and treated like everyone else…. This kind of experience can do serious damage to a young person, where is the duty of care?! I am so glad Simone Biles reached out to her.

An urgent update on Sudan. I beg you all to share this far and wide. Across Sudan, acute malnutrition is expected to worsen in 2026 according to the alert, with a 13.5% increase in cases of acute malnutrition in children under five and pregnant and breastfeeding women – from 3.7 million children and women in 2025, to nearly 4.2 million in 2026. Violent conflict ensues, undermining humanitarian service delivery and disrupting people’s access to agriculture production and livelihoods, exacerbating vulnerability and suffering. Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) – the most dangerous and deadly form of extreme hunger – is expected to increase to 800,000 cases, up 4% since 2025. Save the Children UK
