We just started watching #RiotWomen for the third time and see more in it each time. Would be such a travesty if there was no further series. #Sallywainwright has found a brilliant cast and storyline. Loving all the music too. Strong themes and very emotional, both sad and funny.

A brilliantly explained argument as to why the right wing notion of leaving the EHCR would be a really stupid and damaging thing to do, and why Farage is talking out of his backside yet again.

Reform UK leader @Nigel_Farage says “We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants” RT if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

The current asylum contracts were awarded in January 2019. Who was Home Secretary? Sajid Javed, replaced by Priti Patel in July 2019. They were 5 and 10 year contracts. This is all on the Tories. #bbcbreakfast #gmb #skynews

#Pochin and #Farage should be thoroughly ashamed. How can they possibly serve only some of our citizens while being so openly racist. That is not who we are.

'She should be utterly ashamed of herself.' Labour's Wes Streeting condemns Reform MP Sarah Pochin’s remarks about adverts 'full of black people,' labelling them racist.

Another big Labour Government initiative that the UK Media didn't bother reporting on in tonight's News bulletins, or tomorrows Papers... Its almost like the UK Media don't want us to know how successful the Labour Government is, isn't it?

Gill didn’t just take bribes. He was part of a high-level Kremlin operation to destabilise Ukraine. But voters in Caerphilly in the dark over that even while his former assistant’s campaign is targeting the town’s Ukrainian community 3/ https://t.co/tyWl5pY84S

#FullFact real-time Government Tracker updated today. It now shows Labour delivered (or are on track to deliver) 57 of 83 Election pledges. This is an extraordinary achievement in just 15 months in power. The Tories managed just 3 (one partially) in 5yrs https://t.co/8SCK1uMIM9

Been having so much stress after I sold an item on eBay. Simple Postage would not give me a label, the buyer would not give me address so I could post at my own cost. No way to talk to a real person at eBay. Now the buyer has cancelled order. I have to refund and pay to relist.

I know I keep banging on about the Hillsborough Law. But that’s because it’s massive. This is key: It creates a new criminal offence against lying to the public. @MarcusJBall sets it out beautifully below 👏👏👏. Please read.

1/History is being made. But not the way you think... @UKLabour & @Keir_Starmer have committed to supporting the Public Office (Accountability) Bill 2025; also known as the Hillsborough Law. This will change democracy forever. 🧵

https://t.co/t1Jh918h1C Brilliant beautiful Brian has left us. Such a shock. I loved his work so much and met him a few times. A lovely scouse accent never lost and such an asset to his performances. A poet who was magical both for children and adults.

His poetry often explored love and relationships and he wrote books for children including Gargling With Jelly

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

I don’t think many people realise what the Hillsborough Law does for all of us. It is about truth, accountability, and fairness — making sure whoever they are, police, government or public authorities they cannot lie, cover up, or overpower people/families in future tragedies

You didn't see this in the media, did you? Doesn't suit their 'Britain is Broken' agenda.
