"So will it be the same act but with a different label?" Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷‍♂️

Much like Super Saiyans, Super gonorrhea is a rare and novel thing that is now occurring far too often.

Clear proof that Reform voters aren't normal with that 30% showing up here refusing to eat pancakes on the day God designed purely for eating pancakes.

I don't know why we're laughing. Clearly the great fire of London happened because the buildings had harnessed too much energy and so caught aflame.

ALSO - if you missed out on your childhood measles vaccine and haven't had measles, you can get *free* MMR vaccination from your GP! (whether as an older child, teenager or adult). I got my MMR about 10 years ago! www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

Day of small satisfactions Made a diagnostic call and consultant concurred Pushed back on a specialty waffling with unnecessary tests and getting the procedure the patient needs tomorrow. And wife off to watching Wuthering Heights tonight so I can enjoy both Small Prophets and the new Quinns quest!

Very informative thread. Shows that the London outbreak isn't as bad as stuff like the states but still a tragedy considering we so recently had near zero cases.

🧵What is going on with Measles in England? UKHSA has reported 96 confirmed measles cases since 1 Jan 2026, concentrated in London (64% of cases) and the West Midlands (26% of cases). But what does this all mean? Is 96 a lot? Why is it happening? And what can we do about it? 1/8

Misread the title of the Chinese New year and now all I can think when I see it is 'Five Horses Jeremy? Five?That's insane'

Agree that the return of measles is a disaster but do think the focus on conspiracy theorists and anti vaxxers does leave one group off the hook. And that is the conservatives for gutting public health in the UK.

Proud to partner with UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to sign an MOU deepening climate cooperation between California and the UK. As communities face extreme weather and rising costs, we’re accelerating innovation and investing in solutions to tackle climate change.

New Govt amendments to the crime and policing bill: New aggravated offences will now cover hostility based on disability, sexual orientation, transgender identity and sex (part of pledge to tackle misogyny) — extending beyond Labour manifesto commitments on LGBT+ and disability protections

Understand why there's a lot of chat bout the reversal over local elections but this feels like a pretty huge move against US hegemony. (Also separately hegemony has a real nice mouth feel)

I thought this was an AI mock up because no man would be so monumentally idiotic, insensitive and intrusive as to punish women for not having children…but then it is Reform. Reform are not on yourside. Reform not care about women’s safety. Reform only see us as baby making machines.

That's an insane stat regarding GP numbers hen you think about it.

Honestly don't know how George Osborne has gotten away with this whitewashing of his legacy. He's literally the antithesis of Starmer. A very effective and canny politician but someone who absolutely buggered the state and removed any resilience from it leading to the state we are in now.

George Osbourne cut public spending by roughly 3% in real terms. The Govt has increased it by 4.3% at the last budget alone. This sort of critiques are entirely vibes based and detached from reality

We're all mocking her but in 50 years time there'll be a new Assassin's Creed were we use the animus to relive her assassinations of the Queen, the conservative party and the British economy.

Wonderful piece and also emphasises how music so often transcends the need for understanding of the language. One of three things this week that showed this point. The first was the Superbowl halftime show, the second watching a friends Gaelic choir winning performance at the mod and now this.

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...

Manchester Mill find the small group of Reform activists includes several with v overt prejudices. They fairly note that Goodwin can't be expected to vet them all in advance. To date, the site report he is not willing to criticise ant of it once revealed either manchestermill.co.uk/goodwins-gan...

Obviously this is terrible for pushing the Christian nationalist world view. But also something hilarious looking at the history of Christianity and Western countries for the last 1000 years and pointing to it as a one big happy family.

Managed to nearly get through all of winter without picking up any bugs from the toddler. Now mid Feb he's whacked me with a sinusitis. Our home is now 50% tissue boxes 50% snot

This is the possible future of extinguished hope for kids who aren’t vaccinated against measles And of course if enough people in an area are immunised against it, then it won’t spread and take hold. You and your child would be saving other children and families from this awfulness too

How it feels watching the calcutta cup with 3 scots.

Got to say Scotland's strategy to play their third team against Italy to save their first for this match against England is certainly paying off

Again, I think all parties have failed to grasp the idea that you could have walled Reform in to 15% by pushing the "They are not like any of us on anything".

Honestly seems like there is no worse fame then social media fame Feel like a good policy for any post directed at an individual to just pause and golden rule it for a minute before actually posting it. What do you gain by throwing hate at someone online?

Honestly don't think there's been a star wars project I've been less excited for

Managed to get the dropout app on the tv and feels weird to watch the shows on something larger then a laptop or mobile phone. Has everyone always been this big?

'Foolish sheeple' I think seeing people pack into a pub to watch a simple game, as I turn back to watching 4 hours of strangers play Dnd

Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

Bennites seeing that second place

Still not sure why people keep making Wither Height adaptations when there is a sub 4 minute video that captures the story/vibes perfectly.

The Gov have just announced major reforms to our democracy with the draft Representation of the People Bill, aiming to protect against foreign interference & empower young people. I've long been pushing for these changes. Here's what I want to see in the Bill. ⬇️ #Disinformation #Democracy

This, though, is why it was always so important for Starmer to call this stuff out quickly and forcibly - it forces the beeb to do their job.

I'm thrilled about the introduction of this bill. As chair of the Fair Elections group in Parliament, I've long been pushing for measures to tighten the rules around political donations and protect against foreign interference. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Was absolutely furious at Labours silence last summer. A huge missed opportunity that allowed racist sentiment to propogate. Since September there has gradually been more pushback but good to see a response so rapidly today. Wonder if team know to give Starmer's view not McSweeny's

Disgusting remarks, and that’s before you note this is someone who moved to (colonised as he would put it) a tax haven news.sky.com/story/the-uk...

Sent over the edge when he abbreviated them to STPs. Also, the food ambassador the UK has desperately needed

Tell you what “Sir Jim”, when you stop being a resident of Monaco for tax purposes and actually contribute to the U.K’s schools, hospitals, and defence we will start listening to you. Oh, and stop spouting utter rubbish on migration.

Got to wonder if they just got the idea from watching the new season of Silent Witness.

Urine was never a waste product. When we drink we produce urine. Bear Grylls needs urine to survive and grow. We could all thrive if we drank more urine.

I for one can't wait for a modern day Logan's Run/Laufen/Courir/correre/cuser

Starmer: "The real fight is not in the Labour Party. It's with the right-wing politics that challenges that. The politics of Reform... Divide, divide, divide. Grievance, grievance, grievance. That will tear our country apart... I will be in that fight as long as I have breath in my body."

That feeling as you see the Militrain pass us by

Here are 7️⃣ major changes the Labour Government made last week…👇🏾
