This week, we unpack the UN Security Council passing a resolution demanding ‘an immediate ceasefire’ during Ramadan. While this is a major breakthrough in terms of Britain finally voting for a ceasefire, we still see past the facade of what's clearly a temporary one. Hun, you can't "pause" a genocide.
Sorry for the late episode, we've all been through it this week, so we're taking a break from recording to relax during the Easter Bank Holiday. This means there won't be a new episode next week. A new episode will be published on Tuesday 9th April. 💜
In the Spotlight: The Damilola Taylor Trust opened by Richard Taylor OBE as a memorial to his son with the aim of providing a legacy of hope and opportunity for disadvantaged and under privileged young people.
RIP Richard Taylor 🕊️
