I am desperate to do something positive. To build communities. To help stem the tide of division, isolationism and toxicity. If anyone knows of any opportunities to #organise, and bring each other together, let me know. I’ve never felt so motivated to fix things.

I’ve heard so many people say “it can’t happen here.” It can happen here. And, if we don’t stop it, it will. Reach out to your friend that is on the precipice of hate. Bring them back. And let’s make sure we get it right for the next five years.

220 young people in the average English secondary school are experiencing a mental health problem, according to a new data map from Centre for Mental Health and Kooth Digital Health: bit.ly/3V4s2Np #MappingYouthMentalHealth

Asians make up 9% of the population but 7% of the child sexual abuse cases. Whites make up 82% of the popular but 88% of the child sexual abuse cases. The same people making cultural arguments for why Indians are rapists are making cultural arguments for why Pakistanis operate

Hi Laura, that’s not correct. There was a whole strand of the inquiry on ‘grooming gangs’. I was a core participant and here’s the report: iicsa.org.uk/document/child…

I learnt of grooming gangs from The Times and The Sunday Times in Jan 2011 I became chief prosecutor May 2011 I authorised charging Rochdale gang June 2011 After convictions (May 2012) Keir put me in charge of national response Far Right thugs attacked my home 1000s of rapists were brought to justice

What a powerful piece of oratory, and a damning indictment of far right disinformation. The last few minutes of this is the sort of guts that we NEED to see from our government. Grooming gangs are evil. The cynical, political exploitation of their victims is sick, too.

Survivors of Telford abuse crimes & the mums of two women murdered by boyfriends say of the Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips that ‘no one in public life has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests’ theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

After Elon Musk labelled @edwardjdavey a ‘snivelling cretin’, the Lib Dem leader tells @andrewmarr9 that he’s not 'worried' about the billionaire’s sharp tongue. Instead he is bothered about Musk’s calls to "overthrow" the UK’s democratically elected government.

We are very lucky to have Jess Phillips as our minister for safeguarding. Those who criticise her record on child protection should hang their heads in shame.

Starmer: "The Leader of the Opposition has been an MP for eight years... I can't recall her once raising this issue [child sexual abuse]." Badenoch: "As a minister, I would not have been speaking on this specific issue." Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families. #PMQs

I was flabbergasted with Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs today. Some may wish to play gutter politics with the issue of child abuse. As a survivor, I say to all of them that they do not do so in our name. Survivors need action. We do not need poisonous nor divisive words.

This should be a cross-party issue. Any politician worth their salt, who claims to uphold democracy, should seriously support reform to the party funding system. We can’t let billionaire man-babies buy our government. It’s sickening how much influence he has on our politics.

Ferocious words from our PM. Good. Playing political games with children’s lives is disgusting. Using this scandal, to win the approval of a megalomaniacal man-child, is pathetic. Our politics MUST be better than this. The leader of the Conservative Party may as well be Musk

Huge Kudos to the Greens and LibDems for taking a stand on this. We have a democracy in the UK. Our elections are upheld. It’s about time the other major parties (and the US) took a history lesson. We beat Fascism before.

Crazy to suggest that your Neo Nazi party is actually the exact opposite of Hitler’s Nazi party. This is propaganda at its most blatant.

What an astonishing and disgraceful misrepresentation of the benefits system. What are “mental health benefits”? There’s no way that you can get PIP with a self-diagnosis. And UC will be subject to sanctions without a doctor’s input.

'Historically, we have undertreated and ignored it...we've seen terrible underinvestment in those services.' It's 'difficult to hear' Tony Blair say the UK 'can't afford' its mental health expenses, the Centre for Mental Health's CEO Andy Bell tells Shelagh Fogarty.
