I know I am a lefty Labour voter, but am I the only one not that bothered by this "free gear Keir" scandal? It's the tiniest drop in the ocean compared to the Conservatives and the millions/billions of pounds in contracts (taxpayers money!) given to their mates. #bbcqt
1112 days since the Taliban banned girls from school. Millions of girls are out of classrooms, in the ONLY country in the world that bans female education.
Why are we not outraged? How have we allowed this to happen in 21st century? How can we let the Taliban get away with this?
In France a man arranged for dozens of men to rape his drugged wife
A male mayor said it wasn’t that serious
In the UK a man orally raped an unconscious woman until she died
A male copper shared the footage with mates
But we are supposed to suddenly pretend men aren’t a risk?
The court refused Gisele Pelicot's wish to let journalists see the videos.
They were too "indecent" and "unwatchable" for the media.
Instead Gisele stayed in court to watch the videos - alone with the 51 men on the tapes.
Behold the men who wouldn’t let me sit in my own reserved seat today so they could do their Important Business. FYI am on my way to Oxford to do unconscious bias training.
MAGA will deny climate change and blame the weather on Democrats. How much more fucking insane can they get?
PLEASE WE HAVE TO VOTE BLUE AND KEEP CRAZIES OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT

Michelle and I are thinking of everyone impacted by Hurricane Helene, and are grateful to the first responders and volunteers doing everything they can to help. Here are some ways to support folks in need: https://t.co/IxG31rhSno
This man is the nominee of the GOP for President of the United States.
And millions of people love him.
America has a problem.
First step is to admit the problem.
Second step is to overwhelmingly defeat this insane person so thoroughly that he leaves us and takes his hats and shoes and watches and crypto and bibles ...with him.
Then as a nation we have to reach into whatever illness allows his kind to thrive and cure that disease.

This is the worst I've ever seen him. Irrationally angry, incoherent, unable to stand up straight, out of breath, spinning out stories of things that never happened. Mentally shattered, physically unwell, absolutely detached from reality.
Louis Bonnet, the Mayor of Avignon, who commented that the systematic rape of Gisèle Pélicot by over 80 men, organised and facilitated by her husband who had drugged her "could have been worse", has announced he's leaving public life.
FWIW: One of my closest friends just returned yesterday from Germany. I asked him what he’s hearing about our upcoming presidential election and the overwhelming response has been they hope Kamala Harris will win.
They are worried about how another Trump presidency will affect them and the global balance overall.
Always worthwhile to hear thoughts from folks outside of the US…
I’m really confused by this sudden aversion to cronyism. Where were you when Tory VIP Lane was created, when Tories gave £100ms in contracts to their mates? Also that ended in £Bs of useless PPE. Where were you when Johnson was holidaying with a KGB agent’s son and gave him a peerage in the HoL? All I’m saying is if you had a problem with cronyism, you really should’ve been paying attention YEARS AGO. So fuck off with your faux care.
