Any lives lost due to this closure should be laid firmly at the feet of the far-right agitators who caused this. The way in which anti-asylum activists are putting more and more people at risk should be a wake up call that it is time to genuinely combat them, rather than pandering to their ideology.

Ahem. Taxpayers foot the £2,700 a month rent on Kemi Badenoch's six-bedroom farmhouse in Essex.

If you’ve got ‘legitimate’ concerns then why the fvck do you need to dress in black and cover your face?

Dear UK 🇬🇧 government. It’s ok , your vote isn’t going to collapse if you name & shame fascists & racists . It may well increase . Your silence in not standing up to bullies makes it look as if you’re standing with them . Their expression more brutal but you’re playing for the same team 💔

Terrible shift in the percentage of good in the world.

look at how seamlessly they transitioned from “we must evaluate Arday’s life and work no matter the motives of his critics” to the opposite position: defending Cofnas because of his critics’ motivations, no matter the quality of his work

2/ Why is there a reluctance to engage with the possibility that the main selling point for many voters when it comes to a racist & immoral candidate or party, is the racism & immorality? What if their concerns include views hostile to democracy & certain ethnic & religious groups in Britain?

Do not forget that the vast majority of people do not earn dividend income. This tax free allowance is only for people with significant wealth in shares. That's Nigel and his rich mates. Not ordinary people.* *You may have shares, but enough to earn more than £500 in dividends?

I can’t believe we’re still having a debate about whether there’s a trade off between job creation and measures to green the economy. There isn’t. The evidence was clear years ago - a green economy creates far more jobs than the fossil fuel economy it replaces. Come on Labour, catch up …

My view is simple: ‘smart glasses’ should be banned. Entirely.

Social care is a uniquely unfair lottery. One person may need little support; another may face care costs of more than £100,000. Yet we expect individuals and families to bear an unpredictable risk that is impossible to plan for. Stephen McNair reports eastangliabylines.co.uk/news/welfare...

I can't believe I have to say this but the point is not "corrupt World Cups are not new". It's that this specific World Cup has been a succession of "f**k yous" to various parts of the global football community, and this is the latest one. And I doubt it will be the last.

Taurus: Harness the clarity you’re feeling lately to probe deeply into the worst things you’ve ever done. Introspective self-loathing is the theme for you this week, Taurus. Really get in there.

Imagine shifting the blame for domestic violence from abusers to the England football team....🙄🙄🙄

What's your sign?

How many of us feel in a cold rage today? Mine is directed at Farage & this comment on yesterday's Guardian piece by John Crace is spot on. The writer uses a pseudonym or I would credit them but, to whomever he or she is, I say bravo.

I have signed the "Not in our name" letter. I stand, with nearly 105,000 cis women, with our trans siblings. Please join me. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

First two words I saw on squaredle - bonk and knob! my 11 year old self still in here somewhere!

I’m not saying that Nigel Farage is a corrupt and dishonest, thin skinned, fascist leaning racist, with links to Epstein’s buddies, immoral character and would sell your country from under you if there’s a few quid in it for him, I’m not saying it, I’M SHOUTING IT.

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

Today’s poem is called ‘Billionaire in a Midlife Crisis’.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil? How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️ Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?' Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports... 🧵 1/25

After spending the last few weeks in aging parent admin hell, will be seriously fucked off if this sleazy, trashy self obsessed idiot causes the world to end just when we can see the end of some of it. You classless, cartoon 'president', I posted a ton of forms this afternoon- don't you fkin dare!
