This August I will be cycling the Dorset border, as near as roads allow, to raise money for @MedicalAidPal. Please consider donating via the link in the next tweet.

Not downloading twitter onto my new phone so may just be disappearing from here, but could well be back, we'll find out.

They refused to do it on entering government and expelled MPs who voted to do so from the party

Pretending they deserve any credit for doing it as a desperate appeal for popularity is disgusting.

Scrapping the two child limit is the single most effective way of lifting the largest number of children out of poverty.

But our cross-government efforts will go further to drive the biggest reduction of child poverty within a single Parliament.

Some of the same people who were calling Jeremy Corbyn antisemitic for supporting Palestine are now bending over backwards to defend Nigel Farage, who allegedly bullied his Jewish classmates and said Hitler was right.

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.

“If you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."

Withholding of life saving medical treatment should be considered torture.

If we were a toddler you'd blow us up or burn us alive in our tent.

Imagine writing an essay so bad that hundreds of your classmates show up to a protest to say you deserved a failing grade.

It snowed because the air was made snowy by God's snowy will. I'll take my meteorology degree in the mail.

[neil merriman @NeilMerriman]

so what we’ve learned this week is in Rory’s world being a literal Hitler loving Nazi in your youth Is just a mistake but @ZackPolanski not knowing the exact national debt on a given day is truly horrifying.

Restoring trust latest.

LMFAOOOOO

[Too $hort @sonofsomali]

Minnesota is the only state with Somalis and it’s surrounded by 47 others states who hate them. We are calling on Germany to give us 10 billion dollars and some nukes

[Alex Bathurst @AlexBathurst]

It's like the game played when an MP swaps party and doesn't have a by-election.

Great declarations that it's wrong without doing anything to prevent it lest their own juicy donations get cut off.

[stellacreasy @stellacreasy]

Donations to a political party like this are only possible because the UK doesn’t cap what any individual can donate to a political party as long as declared - the entry of those with such wealth into our democracy in this way should make us all ask what they think they are funding and why …

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

“No genocide” does feel like a pretty important value. It might be said to trump quite a few others.

Oh, you're stupid stupid

So used to their targets being civilians they can't even top themselves.

[Rabbi Shmuley @RabbiShmuley]

2100 @IDF heroes have attempted suicide since October 7th. 300 succeeded. We must do better

[Calla @CallaWalsh]

It's insane and disgraceful that I can count on one hand the number of major "organizations" who have even acknowledged the Prisoners for Palestine hunger strike and the now 7 prisoners who are starving to death behind bars. Shame. Shame. Shame.

[Alex Bathurst @AlexBathurst]

Terrible self selection situation

Not cohabiting is not going to be seperate from major social pressures like "if you divorce him you will be jobless and shunned by our devout community of petty haters"

[Clare Anne Ath @clareanneath]

@SpencerHowell You’re 48% more likely to divorce if you cohabitate before marriage 👀

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.

Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.

Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I am gravely concerned about the safety and well-being of the six prisoners on hunger strike.

The lack of media coverage over this emergency is truly shocking.

Ask your MP to sign the EDM, demanding urgent action from the Justice Secretary, here: https://t.co/el6sodKCiG

A major point of the supreme court case was that freedom of association was being denied to lesbians who were desperate to form women only walking groups.

7 months on, no walking groups have materialised but ACTUAL women's groups have had freedom of association removed.
