So Trump attacks Iran and completely f*cks up oils supplies through the Straits of Hormuz giving us all high petrol prices He’s now gone and secured oil from Venezuela for America meaning he can lower petrol prices for Americans Thanks Donald Cnut 😡

To all those gullible people who think Farage and Reform have the answers to our Country’s problems, remember, the last time a charismatic “man of the people” told his Country their problems were due to minorities, this was the result

After being scared witless on Friday evening with a fatuous Emergency Alert (don’t light a bbq in these hot dry conditions 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️) I wonder how many, like me, have opted out of Government emergency alerts? What are they going to tell me next? Bears 💩 in the Woods? 🤷‍♀️

Well, had my first illegal wee this morning Went into the ladies Had a wee Washed my hands Left the toilets The World didn’t end No alarms went off No faux outrage from the other ladies in there 🤷‍♀️

R4 Today - Another police officer being investigated for sexual attacks against women they visited as part of their duties Seems to me that women are safer sharing a toilet with a trans woman than reporting a burglary to the police 🤷‍♀️

Kemi Badenoch is calling for Equality rules in the public sector to be scrapped and will overhaul the EA if they get into power Reform Ltd say they will scrap the EA completely Wake Up Ladies!! they’re going to turn back the clock for you next 😡

The papers today are (rightly) honouring the brave men and women who landed in France 82 years ago They went to defeat right wing Nazis Tomorrow they will return to supporting a bunch of right wing organisations intent on taking control of this Country What rank hypocrisy!! 😡

Trump has now said he will reduce troops in Europe further than the original 5,000 Well he might as well take them all away because the way he behaves, even if Putin invaded Poland tomorrow, if he’s still sulking, he might not order them to fight 😡😡

To “punish” us for not joining his war in Iran, Trump has raised the issue of the Falklands The Argentinians, buoyed on by this are waking up How long are we just going to sit back and let him humiliate us? Have we no backbone? Cancel the King’s trip He craves that photo-op Tell him to Foxtrot Oscar

Chair of the EHRC on R4 explaining the work they are doing either McDonalds to keep young people safe from sexual harassment Sounds to me their female staff are safer in the ladies with a trans woman than they are with their colleagues and managers at work Priorities? 😡

I voted Labour for 2 reasons:- - I was sick of working people being made to pay “for austerity” and they promised to make those who could afford it, pay a bit more - I was fed up of all the political shenanigans of the Tories Labour promised to do both things better When are Labour going to it?

Trump attacked Iran with no consultation & no clear idea what the end game was It’s now developed into a fiasco with 20% of the World’s energy stuck due to Iran (foreseeably) blocking the Strait of Hormuz Now he’s demanding NATO dig him out of this mess because US gas prices have risen F Off Own it

ran is attacking ships in the Straights of Hormuz Oil and LNG prices have risen already Gas prices (bizarrely) set all our electricity prices (despite all the money poured into Green energy) Goodbye to the £115 reduction in energy costs announced last week 😊

So a woman in her 20s flew to the U.K. and had sex with (the then) Prince Andrew and Epstein sent Mandelson money Neither is illegal so why is it headline news on R4? And what about Epstein’s connection with Americans especially Trump? Or did Epstein only deal with Brits? 🤷‍♀️

Can anyone point me to a BBC radio broadcast last week covering the Court ruling dismissing the case brought by Sex Matters regarding the London Ponds please? Im struggling to find any but I know that if SM had won, it would have been one of the lead stories on all the major programmes 😡😡

Had a trip on a new Cl810 Aurora train today (LBO-SHF) Very smooth and comfier seats than LNER 800s Phone signal much better than Meridians too 😊 Anyone know why there’s a sloped floor in the aisle of Coach A? Built in tripping hazard to first 2 rows of seats in the coach. Not on the 800s

Government announces £15bn Warm Homes Scheme What could possibly go wrong? Previous initiatives, such as home insulation, have ended badly after unregulated trades people have self identified as experts and jumped on the gravy train This will be the next one

Europe can issue as many statements of support for Greenland and Denmark as they like They mean F*** all. If Trump wants it, he’ll take it The only way to force the issue is for ALL European NATO countries to put a combined military force in Greenland “on exercise” until he’s out of Office

On this morning’s Today in Parliament, Diane Abbott was described as Parliament’s longest serving “woman” MP So, they have now stopped using the more usual (and normal) descriptor of “female” have they? Transphobic BBC 🤬🤬

You have to wonder about the intelligence of some Labour MPs The Govt is improving workers rights but has had to agree to a change in unfair dismissal It’s called “compromise” It’s real life They publicly moan and give the Right wing media ammunition for ‘another Labour Rebellion’ headline 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

“….where concerns are raised, for example by a persons physical appearance or behaviour they can be asked to confirm their sex in a sensitive and proportionate way … done in private ..” What the fuck does that mean? Has anyone been out late at night in Leeds to see the Hen Parties?

So the Americans are proposing to offer Ukraine security guarantees in exchange for surrendering large parts of their Country to the invading Russians and halving their army Are those the same guarantees they gave Ukraine in 1994 when Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons (Budapest Agreement)?

Excellent overview of the Good Law Project vs EHRC legal case. It makes it clear that the EHRC - pushed by a few ‘gender critical’ transphobes at board level - has gone rogue… Even the Equalities Minister seems to be recognising it now!

wearequeeraf.comEqualities Minister tears apart logic of EHRC’s “trans-exclusive” guidance in High CourtThe EHRC was irresponsible in rushing out "overly simplistic" and "transphobic guidance", the High Court has heard

Lots of attachments. Sorry To the voters of Teesside, when you look around at the general run down state of your towns and wonder why there’s no money to make things better, read these attachments There’s plenty of money available but it’s going to a few individuals And you voted Houchen back in 🤦‍♀️

Yesterday, Parliament, led by Sir Ed Davey (not our invisible Prime Minister, Keir Who?), defeated the racist Farage who tried to take us out of the ECHR A monumental moment on the back of the Caerphilly defeat for Reform Today’s lead story on R4 Today - Rachael Reeves renting out her flat FFS BBC 😡

Hostile crowds outside migrant hotels Farrage constantly spouting bile on tv and in the media A sudden rise in England flags This terrible event today in Manchester What has happened to my Country? A nation that used to be seen as welcoming, caring and tolerant 😢😢

Labour are proposing that indefinite leave to remain will now be linked to; the job you do, your salary and the wider contribution you make to Society Shame that won’t also apply to the lazy feckless British citizens who would also fail those 3 “tests” Labour; out Reforming Reform 😡
