West has assisted Farage to avoid becoming the focus of journalistic scrutiny for the undeclared £5 million gift he received. That makes her move not only disloyal but also totally unforgivable. Because her disloyal action has knowingly aided and abetted Farage.
You shame politics @CatherineWest1 . You are an attention seeking disgrace. Starmer was elected to lead this country for 5 years, but you want to return to the behaviour of the Tories over 14years. The Labour leadership need to kick you out of the party #BootOutCatherineWest
When the far-right get confused by logical arguments, all they have is violence.
These angry, insecure little fascists need putting in their place once and for all.
We are deeply saddened and shocked by the response from the Health Minister regarding families who have been forced to seek access to cannabis medications through illegal routes to treat their child's uncontrolled seizures. Despite pursuing all legal avenues, these medications remain inaccessible to them.
These families are in unique and dire circumstances, doing everything in their power to help their children. They are responsible, loving parents, not criminals. The government's suggestion of custodial sentences shows a disturbing lack of empathy, sympathy, or any understanding of the immense struggles these families face.
Once again, we urge @wesstreeting to meet with us, to support children diagnosed with rare and complex epilepsies and their families.
It's developmental delay, learning difficulties, disability, behavioural challenges, unpredictability, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, exhaustion, irritability, anger, frustration.
It's finding that balance between seizure control and quality of life.

Our study published today reveals 380+ families forced to the illegal cannabis market to treat their child’s drug-resistant epilepsy. Government Policy has failed these families.
Thank you to @LaylaMoran for recognising the issues, and we look forward to discussing this further
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.”

I strongly recommend sharing this as widely as possible to counter some of the lies and hate being stirred up by Musk, Farage, Jenrick and Badenoch.
And this was while the Tory govt was doing as little as possible to respond to the 2022 report?
Yvette Cooper scolds Chris Philp like a petulant child for politicising grooming gangs
Look at how he's slumped in his seat, he knows he's shamed himself
And his arrogance, ego and pride expose him for the political charlatan that he is, dividing, instead of bringing together for progress
Maxwell sits in prison charged with sex trafficking minors to, well, seemingly, nobody.
37 states in America allow child marriage, 4 have no minimum age whatsoever.
Musk should have plenty to be outraged about in America without making up untrue statistics about the UK 🤷♀️
It's why we fight everyday for better treatments for our children. The fear never leaves you. Medical cannabis on prescription has saved my son's life, if it was routinely available imagine how many lives we might save? Let's innovate! #Westandwithyou@wesstreeting@peterkyle
Today's decision emanating from Southwark Crown Court is an outrage . It is an attack on our civil liberties , we must defend our right to peaceful protest .
@AttorneyGeneral , please meet with us urgently . This grotesque miscarriage of justice must be fixed .
