Reform UK are replacing Staffordshire leader with Hayley Coles. Yes, the Deputy Leader who censored libraries in Staffordshire by dictating what types of display could be put up to educate people (ie banning Pride and Black History displays). *the image here has been edited for satirical purposes.

Admidst their internal party politics, Labour have done nothing to redress how Cameron stuffed the BBC full of right-wing political bias. They have done nothing to effect proper #MediaReform. They have not instigated #Leveson2. Shocking dereliction of duty.

Apartheid Israel's genocidal crimes against Palestinians are documented, evidenced, relentless. All enabled by the so-called international community, including Ireland. We have legal obligations under international law to act to prevent egregious human rights abuses. #SanctionsNow

Intelligence may increase responsibility, but it does not create ownership. We reject domination among humans regardless of ability. Extending that principle beyond our species means recognizing that power is not permission and difference is not inferiority. #speciesism #animalrights
