Nearly 5 years too late, but who agrees that a referendum on an issue as complex as Brexit should never have been allowed to happen in the first place?
Just met a Reform UK voting couple who didn't know it opposed:
Rise in minimum wage
End of two-child benefit cap
Expansion of free school meals, free breakfast clubs
Help with school uniforms
Horrified that they would lose big from Reform
How many others voted without knowing?

The English can’t love the NHS as much as they claim to if a significant portion are happy to vote for a party that threatens its existence as being ‘free’ at the point of need. Probably time to get familiar with an American model of health insurance and a lack of workers’ rights
Isn’t it great that we’re celebrating David Attenborough’s 100th birthday whilst ignoring the message he’s spent the last 20 years trying to get through to us:
If Polanski was accepting big donations from corporations & foreign donors,denying climate change, spent his youth goose stepping & bullying Jews or was currently supporting genocide he’d be getting an easier ride from our media.I don’t know what to do with that, it’s just sick.
I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.
I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.
Mum died on Monday.
Today she received a £50 civil penalty for not letting DWP know soon enough she was in hospital & had been overpaid £73.90 in allowances.
The traumatic experience of hospitalisation & loss of mental capacity was deemed 'not a reasonable excuse'.
F this world.
This is shocking. New @jrf_uk report has found ‘very deep poverty’ in Britain has hit its worst level in 30 years.
Why is this not on every UK news show this morning?
75% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?
Laura Kuenssberg calls the current Burnham/Starmer issue a “car crash” yet never used such a phrase when the Tories went through three different Prime Ministers in less than two months

@hadders95x@roarEcashin Good for you. We are all different. I can imagine being at the round table is quite stressful. I didn’t find him rude personally. It is a shame that neurodivergence people get labelled as rude for being themselves and have to work so much harder to conform.
people say “women aren’t paid less, they just pick empathy careers.” ok… but who decided nursing and teaching are worth less? like we’ll pay a sales guy 150k to move numbers around, but pay a nurse pennies to literally keep people alive, or give a teacher crumbs and wonder why future generations are failing every test. it’s not that empathy based work is less valuable it’s that we’ve normalized underpaying it because it’s “women’s work.”
