- That’s it. It’s over. My lifelong Conservative supporting neighbour has a Vote Labour placard in his front garden.
- Barnet was not just won by Labour, it was a rout. 41 Labour Councillors to 22 Conservative.
- 275 people helped at the foodbank today, including over 100 children. Perfectly normal people, often in work, just not able to manage on poverty wages with rising prices. Utterly shaming for our country.
- The population of UK is around 65 million. There are not hundreds of millions trying to come to UK. The man is an idiot."We simply can't accept 100s of millions of people. This country is nearly full." - Scott Benton MP, Conservative
- What does ‘living as a woman’ mean?
- Am I the only person who thinks drag is the misogynist equivalent of the Black and White Minstrels?Replying to @Humanists_UK.@LGBTHumanistsUK are very lucky to have drag superstars @iamblackpeppa and @CarrotDrag leading such a great cast, with performances, exhibitions, film screenings and more! A huge celebration of the positive impact of humanism on law and culture Tickets: conwayhall.org.uk/whats-on/event…
- We are running two sessions a week at the food bank now, and letting people select their own food. Tuesday saw 337 people, including 93 children, helped. But food banks should not be needed, they are vital, but a national disgrace.
- “Trying to get him to wash his hands was hard enough” #partygate
- This case illustrates how it is important to recognise sex, not gender. This person downloading 80,000 abusive pictures of children will be classified as a crime by a woman, inflating the apparent sex offending by women
- As I understand it, it’s not illegal to arrive in a boat and claim asylum. @BBCr4today saying it is on news headlines. Can @crimlawuk or other lawyer clarify?
- The man in charge of justice is being investigated for injustice. A bit like the man in charge of tax being investigated for tax avoidance….
- 274 people were given food and basics today at the food bank, including 99 children. Feeding the poor on Christmas Eve, we’ve gone back 200 years in the last decade.
