Letting sexism slide puts women and girls at risk. Every time we ignore something that doesn’t feel right, we miss a chance to set a better example. #WeSpeakUp 🤍

“Forget the MPs who rebel over cutting disabled people’s benefits - remember those who don’t. Just as Iraq was for Blair, disability cuts is the moral stain that will mark Starmer and his government for years to come, whether they succeed or not.” My col.

If you are not concerned by the proscription of @Pal_action as a terrorist organisation because you think it doesn’t impact you, you are wrong. This is an authoritarian abuse of power by the government & it curtails all of our civil liberties #r4today
.@ZoeJardiniere lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning @Pal_action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

Oh fuck this toxic positivity shite.. I’m sorry but they need to stop coercing people into this “work will set you free,” Neoliberal bullshit. My (in)ability to work quite literally is defined by my disabilities, as is most of my life. Denial of this is ableism.
"Don't let a condition define the person that you are and want to be" Our welfare reforms will help those who can work, into work

Enoch Powell in the ‘rivers of blood’ speech: ‘But while, to the immigrant, entry to this country was admission to privileges and opportunities, the impact upon the existing population was very different. For they found themselves made strangers in their own country.’
'We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together.' Sir Keir Starmer announces measures which he says will help control the number of immigrants coming into the country to live and work.

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

Is Starmer competing with Enoch Powell’s rivers of blood speech ? ‘ Island of Strangers’ ? Is this what 10 months in powers has reduced him to ? Instead of redistributing wealth & fighting corruption he’s become a shameful mouthpiece for obscene wealth & inequality.
