37,000 people arrive on small boats. 4,000,000 kids are in poverty. 4,500,000 can't get a dentists. But they will blame these vast problems on a tiny one. They think you are too stupid to know the problem, is them, the greedy billionaires.

I was blocked from using the ramp to leave a hotel yesterday, because someone had parked their mobility scooter preventing access to it. I feel this.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I can't stop thinking about how many men read that Snapchat and did nothing. How many men in that house knew a woman was being gang raped and did nothing. This is why we say all men. Bc it's your friends, your besties, your fellow frat bros and you do nothing to stop them.

It’s hard to admit when you’re wrong. Even harder when you were wrong about something that led to the death of your child. Renee Nicole Good’s Mom voted for Trump, and now she’s speaking out against him. Remember, what you allow to be done to others will eventually be done to you.

Personally I believe we should give the folks of Piddington exactly what they want. Set up the border tomorrow, insist on visas to enter the UK. Obviously granting automatic asylum to all non bigots, as it will not be a safe country for them. #Paddington #legitimateconcerns

Exactly this. I've seen enough of the bad white men can do. The "boat people" who are coming here mostly in the hope escaping violence and extreme poverty are certainly not more dangerous. As a disabled woman over childbearing age I have far more to fear from fascists.

I see Farage has honked out another one of his ‘racist ideas for idiots’… Don’t solve the problem by building more social housing, make people in the queue angry with each other instead. What a little racist shit-stirrer with his £5mill and 5 homes, whipping up hatred to make himself richer. (Times)
Put working Britons first in housing queue, says Reform
Matt Dathan
British-born workers under 35 would be placed at the front of the queue for social housing, with priority given to married couples with children, in a new pledge from Reform UK
Nigel Farage's party has announced radical plans to overhaul the way such accommodation is allocated,
with
veterans also given preference.
Those on benefits would be regarded as a lower priority under the new policy, to be announced by Richard Tice, Reform UK's deputy leader.
The party has already pledged to bar foreigners from social housing and said they would be evicted after a "short grace period. Reform UK estimates that 540,000 social homes are occupied by foreign citizens and that of the 1.3 million people on waiting lists, 15 per cent - about 195,000 households — are foreign.
Tice said: "There are now 1.3 million people waiting for social housing in Britain. The vast majority of them do not have jobs. In terms of the social houses we have, less than half of households are in work and over half a million social homes are currently occupied by foreign nationals.
"Meanwhile, young British men and women, who are working hard, can't afford to move out of their family home… It is time for us to prioritise young British workers, and that is what our policy is about."
A Labour spokesman described
Reform's plans as unserious and unworkable. "Access to social housing is already tightly controlled. Illegal migrants, asylum seekers and migrants on student or work visas are not eligible for social housing," the spokesman said.
"This policy would go after long-term
UK residents that have contributed to our country but are not British citizens, including NHS staff. It would leave more families at risk of homelessness and drive up use of temporary accommodation at the taxpayers' expense. It would also mean renegotiations with the EU, resulting in years of wrangling"
