Husband was channel hopping and came across Fox News discussing Epstein, for the sake of my sanity, and my jaw as I clenched my teeth, I had to walk out the room. Words fail me.

DAY 1571 #MyChallenge to the Govt #DCMS #LisaNandy #NationalLottery Just so I’m getting this right You don’t acknowledge, support or respect deaf athletes because your own policy discriminates us? You prevent deaf children from feeling included. The mental health of millions disregarded

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

NO Nigel Farage - the vaccine rollout was not helped by Brexit
