Suella Braverman can fuck the fuck off. If she wants people to start outright opposing the place of Christianity in our country this is a very good way to go about it. Hoping (not expecting) church leaders will realise forcing their religion on people may backfire & speak out against it.

Important to remember that the debate around social care right now is about *free* care - ending the lottery of life that means some are financially ruined by care costs as they age. It is not about providing *better* care, which would require spending of another order…

quite. Would be better IMO to have a debate about what kind of care system we want, and then about how we finance it, rather than vice versa..

There are women & children asylum seekers too. People like Badenoch pose a greater threat to their safety than asylum seekers pose to anyone already living in the UK.

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

It’s much much harder now to be an anti racist than it is to be a racist. That’s one of the things I learned from talking to Rachel Marsh, who has been doxxed and abused for standing up to the far right. www.thenerve.news/p/rachel-mar...

Years of discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community, continuing homophobia and transphobia, all coupled with ageism. Older LGBTQIA+ facing ongoing discrimination/ stereotyping/judgment. Things were meant to be better by now. Instead they just seem to go backwards. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Adam Porter, a housing development manager from the LGBT Foundation charity, says he regularly meets older members of the community in exactly that situation.

"It's very common for people to hide things if they have a carer visiting their home, for example hiding their wedding photos or taking down a trans flag," he says.

"In the case of someone moving into a care environment, that means hiding who they are in their own home, for what could be the rest of their life."

Piddington's independence ref is being presented as a quaint 'crumpets and muffins' comedy of plucky country folk. It's much darker and nastier than that and shows how deeply entrenched the bigoted 'fighting aged men on boats' narrative runs. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/passport-to-...

Last week an Oxfordshire village declared independence from the United Kingdom - ostensibly in protest at a local refugee centre. But is something darker going on?

What on earth is happening?
  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

This really does expose these people's real motives doesn't it. There aren't enough coming. It's boring. They don't care about people coming over on boats. They want an excuse to get angry, a reason to justify hateful, vindictive behaviour.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Schoolchildren will be made to eat lentils and chickpeas once a week and ice cream will be restricted under Labour plans.

Rules to be announced on Monday by the Department for Education (DfE) will force schools to put pulses on the menu at least once a week.
