Angela Rayner, "I've waited a very long time from when I was a carer 27 years ago to hear a Prime Minister speak directly to the nation about the challenge that we have in social care"
"As somebody who started off in that sector I know carers do a hugely valuable job but they're not recognised for that"
It's good @AngelaRayner to get fair pay for carers, but please also look at unpaid carers on £4,495 a year
Carer’s Allowance is about 18% of a full-time National Living Wage income. Surely this also needs to be addressed?
Ben Affleck has paid tribute to his late mother, Chris Affleck, revealing that support for the Palestinian people was “the central cause of her life.”
The Oscar-winning actor shared the tribute alongside Palestinian writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Mosab Abu Toha, who remembered Chris as a dear friend, a steadfast advocate for Palestine, and a motherly figure to his family during their years together in Massachusetts.
A teacher and lifelong campaigner for social justice, Chris became actively involved with the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine after visiting the occupied Palestinian territories in 2009.
She remained an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights, calling on US politicians to back a ceasefire in Gaza and to uphold Palestinian human rights until her death in June, aged 83.
🇮🇱Netanyahu at 6:00 PM: "I'm going to NYC. I'll speak truth to this hateful official. Let's see him try to arrest me."
🇺🇸Mamdani at 6:05 PM: "ICC issued a warrant. I back it. I can't arrest you. DC can. I'm asking the feds to act. NYC doesn't welcome war criminals. We will defend human dignity." 🔥🔥
Bro with metal Spine. Zohran Mamdani is now most popular leader in US.👏
There is no such thing as a ‘senior Reform UK source’. They’re not a ‘source’, they’re either a politician or their spin doctor. Cloaking this nonsense in the language of investigative journalism is an insult to everyone. They should be named or told to shut the fuck up.
I know its early days but the PM has nailed this one.
He talks with compassion, he addresses everyone in the room and MOSTLY he understands how BAD it is for carers and how actually- THEY are the ones looking after someone else's parents.
We haven't seen a PM in a long time be this relatable.
Badenoch, Farage haven't a cats chance in hell against this delivery.
I so welcome this initiative. A first step in building a National Care Service could be the introduction of free personal care provided by local councils based upon the model successfully created by the late Iain Coleman In Hammersmith. https://t.co/wB52AIiNzP
Beautiful words from Andy Burnham.
Foreign born care workers in our care homes are high skilled loving and caring people who should the the highest paid - not the lowest paid.
🚨 BREAKING:
Jennifer Welch, after winning a GLAAD Award last night:
"I want to say something from the bottom of my heart... Down with Israel! Down with Donald Trump! Long live a free Palestine!"
BBC Breakfast report that on BBC Newsnight Zack Polanski did not apologise for accepting a collab post on Instagram
They don't mention the 4 times BBC Newsnight interrupted live TV to read out messages from Reform UK live on air
Nor include the section where Zack Polanski says, "The point is that Nigel Farage or whoever that was, says I committed incitement to murder. That's an absurd claim, that's why I haven't given an apology. Reform UK have just proven my point"
UK cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne is one of the biggest donors in British political history - his millions have put Reform UK on the map.
But our investigations team has seen evidence that he has played the electoral system, by declaring Thailand as his home while also at times continuing to claim residency in Hampshire.
He’s recently moved back, although when we visited his small village no one we spoke to had ever seen him. It’s illegal to say you’re a resident somewhere if you’re not - but when asked about Mr Harborne, the council told us they cannot comment on individual cases.
The Electoral Commission is understood to be in touch with the local council about our findings. Mr Harborne declined to comment on our findings but his lawyers insisted he complied with all applicable laws regarding his resident status.
Thank you @DrAliceJEdwards, @UN Special Rapporteur on #Torture, for once again raising your voice and concern regarding the inhumane treatment of Imran Khan.
He has been kept in complete isolation with no meetings whatsoever for over 8 months now. Both he & his wife have a fundamental right to a fair trial and to the protection of basic prisoners’ rights. The situation is deeply concerning and dire for both of them.
We appreciate your continued attention to this matter and expect your good office to keep raising these concerns with the current Pakistan regime. @JaredGenser@Kasim_Khan_1999@UN@UNHumanRights@UN_HRC
It has now been around 1,100 days since my father, Imran Khan, was imprisoned, and my brother and I haven’t heard his voice since March. For months, we’ve been denied contact with him. We remain in the dark about his access to healthcare as his eyesight continues to deteriorate. He urgently needs medical attention, and with no family or legal access, we don’t even get any second hand information or reassurance.
I’ve found myself especially missing him recently. I want to speak to him about mundane things like my cricket, books I’ve been reading and what new movies are good. I understand the people of Pakistan want their chosen leader free, but I miss my father more than ever.
But this is not just about a father. It is about Pakistan, and its future. A rigged, authoritarian regime continues to crush political opposition, undermine democratic institutions, and deny millions of Pakistanis their right to freely choose their leaders, whilst terrorising those who speak their beliefs.
I once again plea to the international community to not look away. Silence in the face of injustice only enables it.

Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez:
"We will submit a proposal to terminate all partnership agreements between the European Union and Israel.
A state that violates international law cannot be a partner in the European Union. Nor will it be."
