🌻A message to be heard & understood

D🌻💙💛back home from the march in London... I couldn't take many photos as was packed 10s of 1000s turn up...was worried to get this tablet broken .... so I let reporters, paparazzi, individuals, organisations take photos of my placard.... many nodding in agreement..one lady in Piccadilly cried and hugged me .....

Was good to see one of our regular paparazzi reporters from years campaigning for Syria...

Managed to talk with Ukrainians and they said they were touched how many Syrians coming to support ...but then same perpetrator of war crimes same pain .... had lovely natter with a catholic priest and given prasad oranges from Hare Krishna devotee... and theatre land doorman was thumbs up support of my placard.... from the heart of a midwife, mother and grandmother.... introduced myself to the Mayor of London but his minders bustled him away...!... So sad has I had important message from Hamish and Toby .... however got the message to the Ukraine support UK ....and a Sky reporter...

In Oostende News with amazing people

Family Link Up

Beautiful Sunday in Windsor

❤💙💚💛🧡💜👑 well have you guessed where I have been ...yes Windsor...and joined evensong service in St George's chapel Windsor Castle with our Queen in her Private residence safe and well looked after...the choir sung like Angels and was an oasis of peace.. .

Lovely chat with the staff ...they were laughing at my realisation I am a Coronation make baby girl ... 1950s born ... and police were chatting too told them always feel at home in the castle as was born in Skipton we have a castle not as big mind ... one of the police was saying he had only visited friends up in Skipton a couple of weeks ago ...

Now some prayers for a lovely lady from Latvia I met in the shops... she has family trapped in Ukraine they are resigned to staying and was heartbreaking to hear they want to stay together be it survive or die.. they are trapped...🙏🤲 pray they are kept safe. Tonights service was bringing a message of being God conscious all the time to live in the Peace and love of God Arabic for God is Allah.. to respect all nations and cultures. Praying for leaders to lead in Peace .....so so needed to share and care for one another ...

The Ukrainians are now understanding Syria and the pain Syrians faced in the hands of the same psychopath perpetrator... I can see Syrian and Ukrainian mothers coming together to support one another 🙏🤲💞 Also pray we have mothers and children missing in Europe ..husbands left to fight desperate to contact ... I must see how the Red Cross family link up can help..& hope not fallen in wrong hands..

You see how it is so important to have befrienders trustworthy and driven by compassion to keep families linked up.

Beautiful sunset at the station on the way home... brought a few of us together trying to photo capture the intense rose red ball of light ... 💞👑🌹

Success she's home 💖🎉🎈

Welcome home Nazanin... so good to see you with your inspirational daughter. Gabriella has been amazing going into parliament even within the first day of coming to her father Richard ...yes she walked through the Tides of Change suffragette doorway .. makes me wonder if her future path will be in politics.. She has a good role model in Tulip Siddiq who has tirelessly supported Richard on this 6 years journey to get the love of his life is wife back. His pain turned into campaign that moved the nation to get government to action wise negiotations.

💖Love Wins💖

Zoom on Child poverty UK

👩‍💻Been zooming APPG poverty & child poverty ... report on how to end need for foodbanks .... yes in UK..!

My point put foward and from Hannah's highlight that the present welfare system is not working together .. something I personally have experienced and I hear our local councillors bemoan ..one department does not talk or connect to another .. there is therefore an Asynchronous failing system that does not provide a firm foundation of support for all that find themselves in a crisis situation. There needs to be a platform of reliable support and not paid in arrears creating systemfailure debts for families. A better platform of support is better housekeeping of central and local government as to provide best practice support prevents more expensive spin off problems to manage!

We also need this better support urgently as we have major global stressors 1. increase cost of living from increase fuel costs 2. Impact of war on resources, 3. Climate change and effect on crops plus impact on health affecting esrning ability..4. The compassionate needs to support refugees from war zones ...5. We in the UK have had shock of ferry company P&O sudden lay off of 800 employees now needing help with their families... so employment laws need review.
