@mooreholmes24 Hi Moore. We went to the same grammar school on Ormeau. I work in this area and today I've seen real fear in people. Please be honest with yourself about why you're really sharing this, where your sympathies lie, and what that says. I'm sorry things haven't gone better for you.

@michaelpierse Don't suppose you know the age? Would be nice if they were related

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇

Surely she should just apply to represent the first neighbouring constituency she arrives in?

The headline has been changed so to be clear, the original read:
"Lego goes 'woke' as new figures released with Down's syndrome and missing limbs."

WOKE. To represent disabled children in the very toys they play with.

What an absolute rag.

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”

“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”

Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.

Sunak is a very odd mixture of the past 4 Prime Ministers

Same suits as Cameron, as robotic as May, as duplicitous as Johnson and as woefully out of his depth as Truss

5 consecutive LadBaby Christmas Number 1’s is what you get as a country when you don’t invest in arts and culture for over a decade.

The thing that interests me most about the Harry and Megan documentary is THE GOVERNMENT JUST APPROVED A NEW COAL MINE OFF THE BACK OF THE HOTTEST SUMMER EVER AND WHILE TELLING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO PHASE DOWN THE USE OF COAL AND IT CAN'T EVEN SEE WHY THAT'S A PROBLEM.
