Tributes to Marian Border, Liberal Democrat councillor and campaigner, who has died
Marian was a wonderful campaigner, winning her council seat in central Gosforth in 1980 from the Tories and holding it for many years until Lembit Opik (later MP) took over. She continued working hard for the party thereafter till her illness prevented her from taking an active role. Back in the late 1970s she was a member of the Liberal Party's home affairs panel working closely with Simon Hughes who came north to campaign to help win her seat. Her win in 1980 was very important for us putting us in a strong position to make further gains in 1982 when the boundaries changed - John, Lord Shipley

We know who the good guy is (it's Tom Hanks, obviously). But in the real world, it's more difficult. I'm sure all of us have been horrified by the plight of the civilians in Eastern Aleppo who have been trying for days to evacuate the city. The pictures have been devastating, and we simply cannot imagine what it must be like for a mother with children turning up each day in the hope of boarding a bus to take her family to safety, only to hear that the evacuation has been halted yet again.
