My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Going to share a semi-regular gripe over euphemisms, this time “passed”. Saw a post talking about someone’s friend who passed, spent too long trying to work out what exactly they had passed until it clicked that they had died. Please, when I die, just say I died ok?

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism
So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?

The nerve of this is simply incredible. Will the right-wing press continue to provide cover?
Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Perhaps Chris Mason can offer an explanation to this.
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.
This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

So a man who has a lot of money can video in to a crowd of concerned people (with a thug at its heart) and basically call for insurrection in a country in which he has no citizenship or other interest apart for money and the UK Govt does nothing and continues to fill his pockets by using his SM

Rayner says in her resignation letter: "The challenges of government are nothing compared to the challenge of putting food on the table and getting a roof over our head when I brought up kids working as a home help."
Absolutely. A shame to lose that perspective from the cabinet table.
