In the 1930s and 1940s it could be argued that many Germans didn’t know what was going on. Americans cannot do the same. It’s plastered all over the internet and all over national and international news. You’ll never be able to get away with the “I didn’t know” excuse. You do know so do something.

I’ve been conducting a poll and my results reflect the majority view of people in this country and not the rancid views of some dubious middle aged wimpy white gits who think the world owes them a fvcking living.

100% of people polled said will you stop fvcking polling every day.

some for the babies they’ve never been able to have but were so desperately wanted.

Whatever your personal experience of baby loss, whether it’s your baby or you’ve been supporting someone through their baby loss, it is important to acknowledge it & not let any woman or man suffer alone.

I’ve lost babies to early miscarriage & I’ve lost a little girl in a late miscarriage at 21 weeks but they all were my babies. I’ve been lucky to go on to have 4 wonderful daughters but some women don’t. Some women are grieving a baby born at full term forever asleep & some for miscarriages &

I had Paris Brest for breakfast this morning (not a euphemism!) and honestly, there’s no coming back from that, is there?

Staggeringly, Jenrick is a qualified solicitor.

And married to the daughter of Holocaust survivors…and we all know what happened to Jews (and dissidents) when Hitler turned the German judiciary into political puppets.

So shame SHAME on him.

Ed Davey @eddavey.libdems.org.uk · 4d

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges.

The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Robert Jenrick holds up a judges wig like a puppet during his speech to the Conservative Party Conference.

Make no mistake - not one defection to Reform is about policy or leadership. It’s about hanging on for all it’s worth to the prospect of a job. These defectors - no matter which party they are coming from - have all the fvcking morals and principles of an alley cat!

Everyone’s chasing Reform voters, now polling at 34%. But why is no major party appealing to the rest, the clear majority that Reform can never beat?

What a paradox of modern British politics, a system that rewards fear of a minority more than faith in the majority.

Robert Jenrick was so offended by the thought of children asylum seekers being less scared when cartoon pictures were painted on wallls of an immigration centre that he ordered them painted over- when you can treat children in that way you are not a good person. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023...

Paintings were considered too welcoming at Kent centre for lone children arriving in UK
