This is nauseating, made all the worse by the fact he’s a Labour MP and Home Office minister. Delusional to claim that Labour in government are a force for good. There really is little to no limits to Labour’s indifference for those in need.

@iqbalmohamedMP 1. replace words ‘trans people’ with black people or muslims + argue that advocating they use facilities segregated from the rest of society isn’t racist 2. it’s not british law, even if it was, wouldn’t mean it wasn’t transphobic. plenty of law through history has been wrong.

I do find it interesting that there's never any mention of the fact small boat numbers only started spiralling after we left the EU, in spite of all the "take back control" rhetoric. Instead despite criticising the hostile environment when in opposition, Lab propose worsening it.

I never thought the leopards who eat faces would eat my face…
I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. The man I supported and helped get elected. Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically

@KirstieMAllsopp As you went personal here, can I ask you how you handle tax relief, tax efficiency and tax avoidance? Do you think you (or your accountant) have ever managed to do your accounts so as to avoid paying tax? Contributing to charities is a form of tax relief, isn't it? Done that?

These nurses lack a basic instinct for care.
There needs to be awareness brought to this. This black woman is screaming in agonizing pain and instead of taking her straight to a room they had her in the waiting room for more than 30 minutes. Her son was born 12 minutes after this video cut off. @dallasregional this is

This is grim; gives asylum seekers no chance to build a new life, without the constant fear of it all being snatched away again.
This really is vile in the extreme. People granted asylum in the UK will only be allowed to stay in the country temporarily, in a major change of policy to be announced by the home secretary on Monday. https://t.co/ju1uovkPGb

Whoever this woman is, we need to hear more from her. People are being manipulated - it’s got to be exposed.
A local lady from Epping told the BBC that they're not all anti asylum-seekers, and they lived alongside them with no trouble in Epping for 5 years. She says that she feels more scared with the violent protesters on their streets.

I knew at some point someone was going to drop the "he was an ephebophile" defense but definitely didn't see it being called 'barely legal'
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Housing Secretary @MairiMcAllan has called on the UK Government to urgently adopt @ScotGov proposals for a targeted energy price discount – before another winter of harm to households. New modelling shows estimated fuel bills could be cut by £700 for around 660,000 households.

This is Isla’s story - one of 12 composite stories developed by the Independent Care Review to represent all children & none. Her story reflects what too many children experience when the promise is not kept & will continue to if Scotland does not take the necessary action. (1/2)
