Lucy Beaumont … stepping up & whistleblowing to make changes.
What a woman 👏👏👏
Using NDAs to close down young people … sounds to me like these men do know what they’re doing is wrong, whilst saying they’ve done nothing wrong.
If true this is outrageous.
It seems that Andy Burnham’s latest version of ending 40 years of neoliberalism is handing Thames Water over to US hedge funds.
Labour have stopped even pretending to serve us or our communities anymore.
Labour stand for the hedge funds.
Thrilled to learn Rapist Russell Brand has been given 10yrs… I hope all deviant/predatory men who think they got away with Rape feel very frightened right now. #TickTock MFs.
Next stop every fooker in the Epstein files, the rank Tates, and the Royal nonce.
So #RussellBrand gets 10 yrs in jail
The most chilling form of arrogance is believing your power gives you ownership over another’s body.
Fame is not immunity
I remember the courage of those who spoke when silence would be easier & the weakness of those who stood by & did nothing
“Russia is starting to attack Britain” what do you mean STARTING?
Brexit was Russia. The rise of Reform is Russia. Widespread far right bot activity is Russia. Male street violence is Russia. European election interference is Russia. Widespread division and chaos is Russia.

Lady with necklaces, "When do we stop scapegoating immigrants in general"
"When is there sort of like a reflection from the government, put out to people, that hang on, immigration isn't actually this massive issue that it's made out to be"
"There's a lot of fear mongering that is going on."
"Is there anything the government is doing to tackle that?"
My view:
She's right. How rare is it for any government minister to stand up speak about the positives of migration, the value migrants add to society, demonstrating an eagerness for migration to fill the gaps which exist today in our society.
We have an aging population and until a government acknowledges and addresses the implication of this, especially given the drop in Brits have children, we will find ourselves in a bit of a pickle in years to come.
Diwali Day is this Sunday 8 November. Come together with the Leicester community and celebrate the Festival of Light! The Diwali Village on Cossington Park is open from 3pm and Melton Road will be closed from 5pm. Check our Diwali page for all the info!
