Today marks 150 days since the Hamas terror attacks.
150 days of terror, near starvation, sexual abuse, lack of daylight, violence, imprisonment in cages.
19 women remain at the mercy of medieval rapists and murderers. They have families, loved ones, and those who are still alive have dreams for the future.
Their names are Naama, Judy, Noa, Romi, Arbel, Carmel, Maya, Eden, Inbar, Doron, Liri, Daniela, Shiri, Shani, Karina, Amit, Agam, Ofra, and Emily.
I’m thinking of them every day and join their families’ cries today to #BringBackOurGirls

I just spent a wonderful afternoon in the company of the Iranian Liberty Association (ILA) where I had the privilege of addressing the assembled crowd and voicing my support for Iranian people.
As well as a joint celebration of Persian New Year (NoRuz), Easter, Passover and Eid, we commemorated the lives of many young people murdered by the heinous IRGC regime.
Whilst we were there, a state of high alert was announced in Israel with an imminent threat of attack from Iran. Iran has since launched missiles towards Israel that US have intercepted in Iraq and Syria.
This regime and its proxies have caused so much death and misery in the Middle East and beyond, thinking of all those affected right now and grateful to all the people who risk their lives in pursuit of freedom, democracy and human rights. We all owe them a debt.

We’re just back from the most amazing trip to Vietnam, too much to post in one go to do justice to this brilliant place so here’s just a snippet from the ancient melting pot city, Hoi An, which we visited for a couple of days while we were there.
We did the tourist stuff! Boating round the coconut forest to the sound of Gangnam Style everywhere, letting off paper lanterns on the river, and also such a fun photographic tour complete with traditional dress through the Hoi An Studio Photography – Chup anh, cho thuê phuc trang. Also did a fab vegan food tour with @momotravel.asia. Such a great place for kids, we counted up we’d been to 9 soft play type areas in 13 days (inc Funny Land in Hoi An), it’s so parent friendly, great rest for us and them. More Vietnam (mostly Da Nang) spam to come but what a fab place, especially over lunar new year, expect lots of Year of The Dragon pics too! Thanks Vietnam, we loved you 🇻🇳 #holiday #travelwithtoddlers
Incredibly well supported night for @cst_uk last night, the can’t-use-enough-superlatives brilliant Jewish charity who keep us safe, foil terrorist plots and use their expertise to help other minority groups keep their communities safe, amongst many other things.
Anti-Jewish hate has exploded since Hamas’ attacks on October 7th, but one thing I hadn’t appreciated was that the single biggest number of antisemitic incidents was in the week following the atrocities, and before Israel had even begun its response.
In the week after 1200 men, women, children and babies were murdered in Israel, 240 were kidnapped and countless more were raped, maimed and orphaned, CST recorded 416 antisemitic incidents against British Jews in UK.
This is why we need the CST. Grateful to all its staff Mark Gardner, @daverich321 and volunteers, founder Sir Gerald Ronson who’s stood up to everyone from the NF to far left to Islamists, and pleased the government announced extra funding for the next 4 years, unfortunately it seems much needed.
I love doing this show! Catch me with this lovely bunch on The Wheel, Saturday 24 February at 8.10pm on BBC one and BBC iPlayer @bbciplayer We only have our reputations at stake, what could possibly go wrong 😆

Happy Mother’s Day! ✌️🖕✂️ so close girls 😂🤣
Next Vietnam spam is the incredible Ba Na Hills, a mix of Vietnamese and French style theme park up in the mountains at the top of 5.8km long cable cars. Seeing an image of the giant stone hands holding up the Golden Bridge way above the clouds was what first drew our attention to Da Nang, there’s just nowhere like it on Earth. Complete with a Vegas level enormous buffet, funfair rides and a controlled by you single man rollercoaster through the hills, it’s so bonkers you can’t do it justice with pics but we loved it. My favourite bit was the beautiful gardens and pagoda. Special and peaceful to have been above the clouds and as fun for us as for the kids. 😍🇻🇳⛰️🏯🏰🎠🎢⛲️

Ok, last holiday spam post, I promise!
Such a great time being out so far East, can’t wait to explore in that direction some more as the girls get bigger
Had loads of replies from lucky people saying they’re off to Vietnam soon so here’s what we did and loved that we haven’t already mentioned!
@danang.mikazuki water park – the Japanese baths on the top floor were 🤩 and our first taste of soft plays at all the attractions (we counted up 9 in 2 weeks – the kids were in heaven!)
@nuithantaihotspringspark natural hot springs, water park and mud baths – gorgeous up in the hills
@vinpearl.official Hoi An, theme park with its own waterpark and animal safari – so great! More, huge soft play, free arcades and fountains show
The Dragon Bridge in Da Nang breathes fire (and then sprays water) twice a week, what a spectacle
@helio.center has street food, music, a funfair outside and an enormous bouncy castle, soft play, arcades inside
@little.banahills cute photo ops with flower sculptures
@sunworld.vn kids loved the vehicles to drive around like menaces, another fun Asia style theme park
@hyattregencydanang @kayak_uk our lovely home for a fortnight, Da Nang has the nicest beaches, and they had a great kids pools and club and loads of vegan options for us
The city also has loads of kids’ cafes with fancy dress and imaginative play areas, most open till 10.30pm and nice to be in – I wish they’d make them like that in UK
As soon as we found out that ‘chay’ meant vegan we hit loads of great restaurants the local Buddhists eat at, loved the cao lau noodles, banh xeo pancakes and banh mi baguettes 😋
We had a couple of hours between flights home so managed to squeeze in a quick peek at Saigon (Grab is their Uber and makes it so easy) along the walking street Nguyen Hue, more dragons (we were there over lunar new year which is a huge Asian celebration and holiday), and you take your life into your hands crossing the street even more than the rest of Vietnam!
That’s about the size of it. The best part being quality family time, of which we can never get enough @pashakovalev ☺️🧒🏼👧🏽🇻🇳

Happy International Women’s Day to women all around the world. This message sums you up perfectly 💗 #iwd
Artwork (I’m obsessed with) by @iscreamcolour
Today is designated the International Day of Zero Tolerance to FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) and I spent a night in the company of the wonderful @nimkoali @thefivefoundation @officialjanetmbugua @inuadada whose aim it is to get money into the hands of local women and orgs on the ground who can affect change for girls in communities who need it the most, particularly focusing on Africa. It’s estimated that 60,000 girls in UK and 200,000,000 globally could be victim to this form of violence and yet Nimco and Janet have proven that individuals can make a difference as campaigning and speaking about it has not only raised awareness, but actually brought about legislation against FGM to change social norms for the protection of vulnerable girls. Please click follow for everyone mentioned above to show your support for their amazing work!
