My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.
This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays
Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

If Shabana Mahmood wants to talk about what's 'tearing Britain apart', let's start with billionaire tax evasion, the cost of living crisis, overflowing prisons, sewage spilling into rivers and streets full of people sleeping rough

Watson got his ideas by looking at Franklin's slide and then used Franklin's data, without her consent, to make his calculations. He didn't name her as a co-author. Maybe it wasn't technically theft. But you know... it was.
Fuck that guy. Learn about Rosiland Franklin instead.

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.
They should support homeless people.
They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.
This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Disabled people built the first Dial-a-Ride services, fought for accessible buses and founded Transport for All.
That same spirit drives #CTWeek25 celebrating community transport as More Than a Minibus.
Access, independence, connection - non-negotiable then, now, and always!

As Toby Young points out, Black people are over-represented in advertising. He somehow forgot to mention they are over-represented in poverty, unemployment and homelessness statistics too.

All we ever hear about or read about is migration, racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia. Hardly anything else gets a look in.
Well I’m sick to bloody death of it. It’s like some self fulfilling Farage wet dream.
Britain and its people are about so much more than this.

Today is International #SafeAbortion Day.
Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls.
As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.
