This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby@denbypottery
Politicians talk about welfare costs. They rarely talk about poverty costs.
A disabled person losing £50 doesn't remove £50 of cost from society. It often shifts far greater costs onto the NHS, councils, carers, charities and other public services.
That's not efficiency.
One of the grimmest political tricks of the last 15 years has been convincing the public that disabled people are a bigger economic threat than tax avoidance, private outsourcing failures, or housing costs.
➡️⚠️ A man who says he's a woman, caught with 1000 sickening images of babies and toddlers being r-ped, has walked free.
"Lucy" Dean, 27, from Macclesfield, accessed the dark web downloading horrific images over 2 years.
He told the judge he'd paid for therapy to "address [his] behaviour". He said felt "pure disgust" over the offences.
So much so he kept doing it for two years... 😖
Judge Michael Leeming handed him 200 hrs unpaid work and a 10 year SHPO.
What kind of so-called justice system let's a man who downloaded absolutely sickening horrific abuse of BABIES walk free -
AND indulges his lies about his sex by referring to him as a she/her ??
Absolutely vile. 🤬
I’m sick to death of Lib Dem’s in particular saying trans identifying men are no risk to women. Official MOJ statistics show over 60% of trans identifying men in prison are there for sex offences against women or children. In mens prisons is 18%. Yet we understand why we keep men out of private spaces for women. Safeguarding. That’s over 3x times a higher risk. Stats are stats. Even if you don’t like them. Check out this figure yourself. Next time someone spout this nonsense I will endeavour to give the actual official stats. It’s time we work with truths & not fluffy fantasy.
We need to get synthetic folic acid OUT of our flour, and the new fortification law repealed, but in the meantime please support this petition to allow consumers to choose.
PETITION - Ensure access to non-whole meal flour without folic acid fortification
"We call on the Government to amend the law to ensure there are at least one non-wholemeal flour option without folic acid fortification, and to exempt organic flour from mandatory folic acid fortification requirement from December 2026.
We believe this protects consumer choice and people who might need to avoid synthetic folic acid for health reasons.
Mandatory folic acid fortification affects the whole population, despite only a small proportion being at risk of issues due to a lack of folate, such as neural tube defects (NTDs) in unborn babies. NTDs only affect pregnancies, yet the entire population will be impacted. Some data suggests that NTDs can also stem from other causes, which folic acid cannot prevent. People should still have access to non-fortified and organic flour."

I see a lot of MPs broadcasting their views on how the @EHRC Code of Conduct impacts trans people. I wonder if they have any view as to how it affects women?
Actually we did.
Hundreds of cv’s posted
Months with no job or income
Getting friends to move in and rent a room just so you could afford food
Having to walk to the phone box for calls as you couldn’t afford a landline let alone a mobile
Gen X had it hard too
It’s not just u
Older generations say, “We also struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay rent that consumes half your entire paycheck. You didn’t work 2 jobs just to cover basics. You didn’t apply to 200 jobs and face silent rejections. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.
#PMQs@KemiBadenoch why are you not asking why 55% of the welfare bill goes to state pensioners?
Why are you not asking why 40% of people in work are claiming welfare?
Not everyone claiming welfare is unemployed.
