YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

Today Nigel Farage said the government should cut the minimum wage for young people

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

Excellent half from #SAFC

The hybrid formation badly malfunctioned for the opener - but response v strong. Goal came from long throw but Sunderland haven't sat off. Chelsea on top towards end of half but Roefs rarely tested.

Sadiki has been marvellous.

Wow!

So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform.

This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.
Breaking - Five grooming gang survivors tell PM they will stay on panel only if Jess Phillips REMAINS in post.

They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”.

Keir Starmer on Katie Lam and her migration views: "“I can’t tell you how much I disagree with her." Some fairly strong comments to ITV.

The Established Church needs to find a voice on this kind of dehumanising depiction of men, women and children who have come to our country, being spilled all over the place to say the only thing that has human value is a salary above £38k and thst any foreigner who ever earns less must get out

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

This apparent shift in the government's position is very welcome news. 👏

In the summer, we wrote to the government alongside @adass.bsky.social urging them to implement LPS, which has been put on the back burner for too long. It's encouraging that Ministers have listened and responded.

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade.
Look at what he does, ffs.
Look at his tax affairs.
Look at his grifting.
Look at his lies.
Look at his prejudice.
Look at his allies.
Look at his manifesto.
Look at his Brexit.
He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

When the establishment punches down, it’s satire…

When the marginalised punch up, it’s a threat

This isn’t just insane hypocrisy, this is a system working exactly as designed

Because it’s not about protecting us, the public

…It’s about protecting power.

America
This is your king:
Ripe teats
Soiled crevices
And leaking pipe work.
Loose unfolded conkers stroke his pale knees.
A large amalgam of porridge & custard sloshes inside his chive scented underpants.
He gurgles.

America
He is your Dad.
Feel proud.
Happy Father’s Day!
