Unison are setting the bar pretty low if they think 'not being raped' is the most successful outcome we can hope for as women out in public. The scope of the Equality Act's 'privacy, safety and dignity' criteria is a little wider than that, as UNISON Southwark should know.

Let’s talk about this sudden bout of government generosity, shall we? The big trumpet blast about scrapping the two-child benefit cap, sold to the public as some noble act of compassion. Cue the violins. Except when you step back and actually look at who benefits, the tune

When power interferes with the timing of a vote, intent is the only thing that matters. Delaying elections to avoid defeat is not governance. It is democratic evasion. Twenty-two Labour councils are now set to delay local elections. Not randomly. Not evenly. Almost all of them

To understand how the grooming and rape gangs operated so widely across Britain for so long, you need to see this story. Last November, West Midlands Police banned Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending a football match in Birmingham. They lied repeatedly about why. The

Just to recap, since July 2024 Labour have u-turned on: Business rates. Welfare reforms. A national inquiry on grooming gangs. Employment bill. Farmer inheritance tax. Winter fuel allowance. All within 18 months! The only conclusion is serial incompetence Keir Starmer.

🚨 Holiday Inn REFUSE to allow homeless people to stay in a room that was paid for 🇬🇧 It was -6° outside & Holiday Inn Oxford road, Manchester, REFUSED two homeless brits after a charity worker paid for their room 😲 Holiday Inn also has migrant hotel contracts in the UK ⚠️

Millions of Iranians demanded their freedom tonight. In response, the regime in Iran has cut all lines of communication. It has shut down the Internet. It has cut landlines. It may even attempt to jam satellite signals. I want to thank the leader of the free world, President

Keir Starmer "We have always had free speech in the UK" Also Keir Starmer "I want to ban X because people are using it to talk about me".

7 seconds of perfection… Stormzy just doing his happy bouncy walk happy to be alive with his new dad. Then about half way through he sees his mum and excitement levels go up a notch. Such a pure dog. ❤️

SallySalt David Patterson Susanna Reid Nope. Nothing on actual UK grooming gangs.

He was hit 3 times in his life by cars. The 3rd time was when I found him. He is terrified of small spaces like Crates so he couldn't travel anywhere to be adopted. But then today happened. ❤️

Is it just me? I can clearly see, it’s the same fence, I can clearly see they are the same concrete posts, I can clearly see that is the same brick wall, I can also clearly see the exact same mound of soil, along with the same bowls, and the same dogs. That’s the same cat too!

There’s a real sense of movement in ‘Going Home’ as Peter Brook, head down in the face of swirling flurries of snow, strides out along the path through his local Bradley Wood, while the minute figure of Shep, on his last walk of the day, runs ahead, already almost out of sight.

Just giving Spock a wash, groom and some words of encouragement. He says he’s never had a home in his life. He used to sleep under cars on the streets of Thailand where he got his legs broken. He is moving into his first ever house today with his humans. He loves humans. ❤️

What a wet week it’s been! Had to post ‘In - Out of the Rain’ from Peter Brook’s ever popular series of ‘peeping dogs’. The disconsolate collie steals the show, but the barn door with its letter box and lucky horse shoe is a study in itself. (From AC Gallery’s 2020 Exhibition)

A few reflections on our first week of inquiry hearings. Firstly, and I’ll be entirely honest, it’s harder than I thought it would be. I cannot adequately describe the evil that these girls have gone through. Rape doesn’t do it justice. It’s torture, it’s abduction, it’s war.

As Ange tries to get herself crowned PM, here’s a reminder of what she said about Rishi’s coronation … The people must have a General Election. Oh but … not if her party is going to lose 🤡

Genuine question for anyone who works at HMRC. How come my 81 year old mother in law has been given 1 month to pay her under paid tax (few grand) But Angela Rayner has had 6 months and still hasn’t paid the £40,000 stamp duty she evaded?

This is Shahid Butt. He is a convicted terrorist who plotted to bomb the British consulate in Yemen and an Anglican Church. He is now running for office in Birmingham, in a seat that is 91% ethnic minority and 70% Muslim. He will likely win. A convicted Islamic terrorist

Samantha Smith Electoral Commission Shabana Mahmood MP Counter Terrorism Policing His actions were deliberately targeted on the security of the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 How can this possibly be allowed !! and don’t tell us we need to ‘change the law’
