One of the most disgusting, brutal and unpunished child‑abuse networks in the world… And the usual voices who claim to care about ‘women and girls’ have nothing to say. We see you.

This is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

“A THIRD of people who turn to our community of food banks are in a household where someone works” @trusselluk.bsky.social

Cruella Braverman has defected to Reform. Why would anyone seriously consider voting for a party that consists primarily of those that gave us 14 years of misery? Reform are a joke. Except they're not funny.

The ICE murders in Minneapolis are a “glimpse of what happens when fear and loathing of migrants curdles into toxic tribalism, another grim warning for all those European voters flirting with the far-right and dark forces of nationalism.” That’s Reform in the UK. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/418...

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Carole Cadwalladr, "He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure" "He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right" "What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge. When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?

Brighter days are coming… 🌅

Farage has the unbelievable nerve to talk at Davos about Britain’s “moral decline”. This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline. He’s betrayed our country for self-interest, prejudice and greed. Shame on everyone who’s allowed that. #NeverPM www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The Social Media giants need to be accountable. Banning SM for kids under 16 simply lets those corporations off the hook and those kids who want to, will not only get round it - but do so surreptitiously and in my opinion that's far more dangerous.

And again- opportunist charlatans like shape-shifting Jenrick should be made to seek re-election on their new 'party's' manifesto

I think it's time that this happened- withdrawal of whip is one thing but moving to an entirely different party(moot point in this case!) should lead to the electorate being given its say...

Glad Jenrick has been booted out in disgrace, rather than being able to saunter over to Reform whenever he felt it would benefit him most. But honest to god. These dismal, dismal people. All conniving to screw the county over for their own power and enrichment. Repulsively corrupt and inadequate.

Not really enjoying this season's transfer window... Show some gratitude, people – Nadhim Zahawi has joined Reform for our benefit, apparently | Marina Hyde www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@nataliehaynes.bsky.social I too allowed my relationship with my fitbit end before the data transition to Google but I have got a cheapish Garmin now and am v pleased- just hoping Musk stays out of the sector... (listened to Strong Message here on dog walk!)

This Crowdfunder needs a boost- Kings Heath community in South Brum has been offered the opportunity to take on the running of our local Community Centre as cash-strapped Brum divests itself of assets but with only a few days to go is still a bit off its target (link below)

Mark Ruffalo played the Incredible Hulk. But in the real world he is an actual hero that speaks truth without pulling any punches.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Yesterday I posted my last ever Tweet and called on the Government to do the same. Read more below on why I think it’s time to leave the cesspit formerly known as Twitter. www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

If a new app was produced which had, as its core features, the generation of sexual deep fake images of children and calls for a violent global far-right revolution, then not only would it be swiftly banned, but you wouldn't have a single mainstream politician willing to associate themselves with it

Morning- chilly here in Birmingham UK ❄️ and everything (school, volunteering, choir last night) has been cancelled...

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

This should be a warning to any one not rich. Farage and the moneyed ghouls that back him, need higher levels of poverty. Stripping us of our rights would enable him to plunge millions into levels of economic hardship they could never imagine. Just look to the USA and the stripping of services.

How did Nigel Farage's girlfriend find nearly a million pounds to buy a house in Clacton for her boyfriend? ❗️Farage Stamp Duty Scandal ❗️ All he needs do to clear this up is to publish the relevant documentation. In UK law, using a 3rd party to buy a property with your money is Tax Evasion.

@oliverbullough.bsky.social in answer to your deleted post - I'll go all of them as my choice... including the charmless picture books for younger readers- give me Judy Blume and Oliver Jeffers any day

Today is International Migrants Day. The immigration debate has become increasingly toxic - so we asked the public what they think. Watch and share if you agree 🔁

Funny that grandparents are desperately worried about their grandkids being groomed via Roblox whilst they are being radicalized about migrants being to blame for everything via Facebook

Something that always strikes me about these reports is that parents withdraw their children when inflexible systems are put in place and they can't cope. So in the end it becomes a way of removing learners with higher levels of needs, whatever the original intention. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

V low priority question alert- I have been a fitbit user for the last 6 years but they are migrating to Google in Feb- Google know so much about me I'd rather not hand over years of health data as well- any recommendations for user-friendly fitness trackers I can use instead? As you were! 🙏

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion. It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

This makes me sad... Pretty sure we didn't need these in the early 2000s- #foodpoverty #christmaspoverty

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

Last year Sky News was rending its garments over Starmer's free eyeglasses: WHAT INFLUENCE DID LORD ALLI BUY? Now, RefUK get £9m from a crypto bro, they have not one word about the donor's interests; just BRAVO NIGEL, barely concealed glee, and "what a huge boost... money goes where momentum is". 🤡

Oh gawd Fogarty is covering the WI's reluctant decision to exclude transwomen from membership- time to go back to Jazz FM...

London is also diverse. It's hugely multicultural, and it's a largely tolerant and welcoming place. Sure it has it's problems and the housing crisis is a big one. But the haters don't hate this city because of that. They hate it because it stands as living proof that multiculturalism works.
