Thinking of all those affected by the Universal Credit cut.
'Jobs being the best way out of poverty' to paraphrase our lovely PM, doesn't really wash when many people (mainly women and those with disabilities) face multiple and complex barriers to gaining full-time employment.😔
Davina McCall tweeting WAAAAH why won't someone think of the MEN?? in a week that started with IWD and saw a pregnant woman accused of lying about racism, bullying & suicidal thoughts and another murdered by a police officer whilst walking home is the shit cherry on top of it all
Following the Government's announcement of a four-week lockdown in England, we're pleased to be able to keep the outdoor spaces we care for open, including coast and countryside sites and car parks, as well as, gardens and parklands.
It is bitterly disappointing that after a victory in the Lords the government have voted down my amendment in the Commons. What could be more humane than asking that unaccompanied child refugees stranded in Europe be able to join relatives in this country?
When @MattHancock says that it doesn’t FEEL like Parliament is being suspended (when asked to explain his apparent u turn on prorogation), he hits the nail in the head. Erosions of democracy are often dressed up so that they FEEL quite ordinary.
Okay I won’t mince my words . We need the last 11K signatures on this petition to ban driven grouse shooting fast https://t.co/DnSB6Bo8Yh Please don’t let this beautiful bird have died in vain . Watch the video and please RT https://t.co/NFOWfykwHj
Instagram is down. The influencers panic. Their power is waning. Smashed avocado on sourdough doesn't seem so appetising in this cruel, filterless world. They cling to their hair vitamins, screaming 'hashtag blessed'. Even detox tea can't save them now. #instagramdown
On the coldest day of the year, Suzie Catterson ran her 30th consecutive 10k in #Lincoln for the @alzheimerssoc. She called in @BBCRadioLincs for a warm up! https://t.co/ZoYkAmoGhs
I'm no royalist but in the wake of Trump's visit, I'm dismayed by the Queen being referred to as an 'eldery lady'. She's the f-ing Queen! Our current, active Head of State. Patron of 100s of charities. Wife, mother, grandmother... her name is Elizabeth. AGE DOES NOT DEFINE US!
Will be on march later. Trump’s values are not our values, whatever party we support. His racism, misogyny, attacks on democratic values seek to legitimise an authoritarian politics that is profoundly dangerous and threatening to our societies. https://t.co/6jBg5O8a90
All this Gareth Southgate love - well deserved for a great bloke - only says to me how much we’re crying out for basic decency in our leading public figures. We’re tired of braggarts and buffoons and Gareth is helping to fill the void.
