Heartbreaking News 💔 a beautiful little boy, Kyle Sieniawski, AGED 14, with MND, has sadly passed away yesterday 🙏
ITS ABOUT TIME THAT ALL THE FUNDRAISING EFFORTS FOR MND, NOW HAS THE REWARD OF AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT AND CURE !! So come on MND “Experts” - give us some hope 🙏

[Geoff Burrow @burrow_geoff]

Kyle, 13 years old and diagnosed with MND months ago IS STILL waiting for Disability Benefits, a Mobility vehicle AND an adapted home ! What is happening to our broken Country 🤷‍♂️ It’s a national disgrace. PLEASE HELP 🙏

[MND Association @mndassoc]

The housing situation Kyle is facing is far too common for those with #MND.

This is exactly why, over the next few months, we’re planning to launch a campaign on housing adaptations to highlight the issues faced by people living with the disease. https://t.co/IBE2ybgdr8

[Geoff Burrow @burrow_geoff]

Sorry for posting again but Kyle in Pontypridd, aged only 13 with MND, is really upset and not having his usual smile on his lovely face because he can’t leave hospital because his Terrace house is not fit for purpose. Can anyone please help 🙏🤞

Survivors of the Telford abuse scandal have criticised Elon Musk’s attack on Jess Phillips, stating she has “devoted her life to fighting for women and girls.”

In a letter shared with the Guardian the seven women, including three survivors of the Telford sexual abuse scandal, came to the Labour MP’s defence and said that there was “no one in public life who has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests”.

The other four signatories – Julie Devey, Carole Gould, Emma Ambler and Nour Norris – have lost a female relative to gender-based violence or have suffered domestic abuse.

In their response to Musk, coordinated by the campaign group @KilledWomennw, the women said that those who “weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain” should “hang their heads in shame”.

“We write as victims of extreme male violence,” the letter said. “What connects us all beyond our shared trauma is the support and kindness we have received from Jess Phillips over many years, personally and as activists fighting for change.

“We know there are those who would weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain; who speak out with new-found interest, not to tackle the horrendous crimes that stole so much from us, but to further their own agenda. They should hang their heads in shame.

“As campaigners and activists, we fight every day to stop what happened to us or our loved ones happening to anyone else. We stand by Jess, knowing she has devoted her life to fighting for women and girls.”

Rewriting history doesn’t make it true
Under Starmer’s leadership we finally tackled these abuses, which had previously been handled poorly
He put me in charge,we brought 100s of offenders to justice & gave voice to 1000s of victims
A simple google/twitter search would show this

A defining moment of this trial: #GisèlePelicot, in her final time on the stand, addressed her decision to keep the surname "Pelicot":

"When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot."

Never forget what this woman has achieved.

I have been verbally abused twice on the way to football matches so far this season. On both occasions I was minding my own business, head down, walking to the ground. I was called 'a fucking queer cunt' by one man and another told me that 'our club doesn't want disgusting gay fans'. If you're a player and that offends you less than wearing a rainbow-coloured armband for a couple of matches, then maybe you're part of the problem.

Hey @MaldronHotels.

I'm being contacted by several people who booked your hotel for the Oasis concert, to say their rooms have just been cancelled and are now back up for three times the price.

I'm sure this is a "computer error"... easy to correct.

Do the right thing.

It appears that Trump has chosen not to debate VicePresident & former Prosecutor Kamala Harris if she becomes the Democratic Party candidate at the scheduled presidential debate in Sept

As a felon he knows he has a right to remain silent

21,084 Cardiffians voted for Reform. They got 223,018 votes across Wales. Bit depressing.
