Today marks the 4th anniversary of the #GrenfellTower tragedy. Our thoughts are with the 72 people who lost their lives & those left impacted. As a country we must seek justice for them & prioritise fire safety issues in towerblocks.

Single parents under 25, most of whom are women, are struggling to make ends meet for their families because the DWP stopped classing them adults.

All women, including trans women, are victims of misogyny, discrimination, violence and sexual assault. The problem here is focusing on a decisive debate in the movement against gendered based violence. Men’s violence against women is the problem.

Key workers once again being taken for granted. Companies should not be allowed to make vast profits in the pandemic while treating employees like this.

So sad reading these comments. Another exams of the motherhood penalty.

Pandemic dressing has gotten me all confused. Trying to figure out if I can wear fluffy slippers with a suit? Answers on a postcard.

The eviction ban ends on Tuesday, yet there's no plan to help tenants resolve the £360m mountain of Covid rent debt.

The Housing Secretary said no-one should lose their home due to Covid, but evictions are inevitable without urgent financial support

I have always found it unsettling that movies and shows like this are made and that people enjoy watching them. They glamorise and normalise violence against women. https://t.co/DXiP5lJPgg

The court has made the right call to protect vulnerable consumers. But more scrutiny is required to stop loans being missold in the first place. Why are 49.9% interest rates allowed when they obviously target consumers who can’t access traditional lenders.

[Bryony Foster @BryonyCFoster]

Whatever compensation agreement Amigo comes to will set the precedent for other high cost lenders. It is vital that lenders who target the UK’s poorest borrowers are not allowed an easy way out of missold loans.

Amigo shares dive as high court rejects loan compensation cap https://t.co/eucVVelmU4

[Bryony Foster @BryonyCFoster]

How amigo can rationalise that 8.7% of claimants is a reasonable response to the compensation structure is beyond me. I would question how easily understood their compensation material was given the precedent of misselling loans.
