Dear Friends,
As you witness scenes like this NEVER allow it to become ‘normalised’ in your mind.
It is barbaric, inhumane and COMPLETELY indecent to herd STARVING people, (including children), DESPERATE for bags of flour into these caged traps - to be then used as ‘target practice’ for these laughing soldiers! How absolutely reprehensible!!! This is ABNORMAL !!!! This is CRIMINAL and we must NEVER LOOK AWAY!!! KEEP PROTESTING!!!
KEEP CALLING OUT THE GOVERNMENTS WHO ARE BEHIND THESE CAGED DEATH TRAPS!!!

Dear Friends,
Imagine being pregnant in the hellscape of Gaza. Where you wonder if you and your baby will be bombed or shot at any moment 24 hrs a day.. EVERY SINGLE day. Where there’s no food, and you risk being shot at for trying to access the little ‘aid’ there is. No clean water, no sanitation, no anaesthetic, no medicine or proper medical care available. Imagine what that must be like… And there’s no formula to feed newly delivered babies, while the mothers cannot breastfeed as they can’t produce milk due to the horrific circumstances. Imagine going into labour with bombs dropping all around.. the terrifying sounds of drones - gun shots - killing and wounding anything that moves.. Imagine all this, if you can.. I can’t even begin to go there.. but Palestinian mothers are trying to SURVIVE EVERY DAY THROUGH THIS MADNESS.

I’m delighted to share another perspective of this magical moment as thousands stopped to watch our @Justice4Windrush campaign film at Picadilly circus on #Windrush day. Stunning reactions captured by @cloud9medialdn We hope this moves you as much as it moves them. Help us educate the nation so that people can better understand why we owe the Windrush generation so much.

After reading an interview about the Windrush Home Office scandal given by actor @colinmcfarlaneofficial’s father - Dr Sidney McFarlane in 2023, I felt compelled to reach out to offer my support in making the British public aware of the terrible injustice the Windrush generation have been dealt for decades.

So to see Dr McFarlane now, looking up at our film on the Piccadilly Circus screen on #WindrushDay is a deeply moving full-circle moment.

15,000 silenced voices are finally being heard in the most powerful, public way as we continue to educate the nation about our British colonial history and bring this Home office scandal out into the light!

I’m SO proud to be part of JUSTICE 4 WINDRUSH @j4windrush .

📖 We are delighted to formally announce that @rizzolibooks will publish Annie Lennox: Retrospective September 16th.

Spanning over 40 years of artistry, image-making, activism and iconic music history, this beautiful visual memoir brings together more than 200 photographs from Annie’s personal archives and iconic career, from Polaroids and portraits to music video stills and album covers.

In Annie’s own words:

“There have been thousands of photographic images floating around in the zeitgeist throughout the decades of my life as a performer. In a way, each one serves as part of the picture-puzzle narrative of my story.

With Retrospective, I wanted to look back at my life’s work lived under the public gaze, throughout the creation of music—lyrics—recordings and film.”

“Each album, video, and photograph has its own identity and style. Retrospective could actually have been presented in many different ways, with many more different images. But for now—here it is… A memento—a souvenir—A life lived through imagery and sound. I hope you enjoy it!”

Dear Friends,
With the escalation of warfare throughout the Middle East region, you have to ask the question.. What does this all lead to.I’m staggered by the obvious lies and gas lighting..
The duplicity and normalisation of the savage butchery of civiliions - children,women and men,as if their lives meant NOTHING … as if they are justified in dropping massive bombs on schools hospitals and apartment blocks, when there are LIVING, BREATHING HUMAN BEINGS inside…

Nothing is normal in Gaza

There is NOTHING normal in hospitals being bombed
NOTHING normal in children being blown to pieces
NOTHING normal in skeletal rib cages
NOTHING normal in constant displacement
NOTHING normal in being trapped under the rubble of your former home
NOTHING normal in seeing your entire family killed in front of you
NOTHING normal in people running into bloodied hospital corridors, carrying their dying child, friend, brother, mother, sister
NOTHING normal in living under siege for years
NOTHING normal in dead children and dead families wrapped in white plastic shrouds
NOTHING normal in living in flooded makeshift tents or sheltering in schools
NOTHING normal in having no clean running water
NOTHING normal in having no sanitation
NOTHING normal in your children being starved to death
NOTHING IS NORMAL IN GAZA
DON’T ALLOW GENOCIDE TO BE NORMAL !!!

NO mother on this earth should EVER have to experience her child being blown to pieces - buried under rubble - burned to death - targeted and shot at - wounded - limbs amputated with no anaesthetic - starved and emaciated - diseased - constantly traumatised - the list of unspeakable horror in Gaza is horrendous.
And for those ‘what abouters’ of COURSE no mother should have to experience their child being taken hostage...which has been happening to thousands of Palestinian children for decades!!!
As mothers we ALL yearn for a world where these standards of child protection are bound in international law and respected, so children and mothers can thrive!
The horrors taking place against Palestinian children are beyond anything l’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime. Our tax money is paying for it.

Dear Friends,
I’m supporting this open letter regarding the @kingsplacelondon multi - arts concert venue in King’s Cross - London, who plan to host the ‘Defence in Space’ conference, in October this year, sponsored by Lockheed Martin - the world’s largest arms dealer.
This decision runs in complete opposition to the mission statement for their ‘Earth Unwrapped’ series to “bring artists together to explore our wounded planet and how collectively we can seek healing.”
We request
1. Cancel the October 2025 conference
2. Make a public statement explaining their decision to accept business related to the arms industry.
3. ⁠Reassure the artistic community that future events at Kings Place will not be subsidised by blood money, and artists will not have to share a stage with war profiteers.

Please join me and sign the petition
