Right. If you say anything at all about how utterly shit and reactionary Labour are right now, you are guaranteed to get some smug shiny-brained dickhead popping up to tell you you're enabling Reform. And here's the thing.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

One of the hotel providers made 180 million in profits while abandoning basic care. Labour could have chosen to go after these corrupt businessmen instead of the random people in these so-called hotels that never had any say in where they could live in the first place.

Extremely rare to see Labour doing good things, but this is a very good idea to pass into law; credit where credit's due

Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

This year, it comes as the UK is about to pass a law guaranteeing the right to bereavement leave for miscarriage, making us one of only 4 countries in the world to offer it.

My heart is with everyone who experiences the heartbreak of baby loss.

Yeah, I've seen. I assume "what they fail to understand" is that his sister is just really hot.

Back when I did standup a mate performed in a similar hat and (fake) moustache as Ken Mustard, Skipton's Number One Pig Wrestler, and the resemblance is just enough that I cannot believe this guy exists as anything other than a comic character.

I've resisted but I can't any longer. This man has had his soul sucked out of him (I assume by a member of his family) which in true Disney style has made his skin see through and his eyes *empty*

I know there’s a lot of excitement about Zack Polanski just now, but it’s important to remember that in 2013, while working as a hypnotherapist, he failed to prosecute serial child abuser Jimmy Savile.

Before hypnotits gets too excited, this is FindOutNow. Though given the conference Labour had this isn't all too surprising imho.
