FARTAGE BOATS
“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

This is NOT why people elected a labour govt with a huge majority. These cuts are disgusting! Attacking the most vulnerable in a society is and will always be an absolute disgrace. Shame on you Labour! SHAME ON YOU!
Darren Jones, the second-in-command to Rachel Reeves, was soon slammed for his "staggering" remark.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped.
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky.

People didn’t vote for THAT! Utterly disgusting from Starmer! Tax the f’ing rich, and leave vulnerable people alone!
Labour absolutely need to backtrack on plans to cut benefits. Disabled individuals are already struggling. It's already far too hard to access support, especially for "hidden disabilities", such as autism. Even before cuts come in they are increasing stress and fear.

Disabled people feel 'broken and without hope' over Labour's plans for benefits
Big Issue readers have shared their fears about widely-rumoured cuts to benefits, saying that they would "love to work" but fear the future.
