Heading to Bluesky. See you there!!

[Dame Nicole Jacobs @CommissionerDA]

I am very concerned about cuts to domestic abuse services amid the council funding crisis.

New evidence from @womensaid shows 49% of orgs were forced to run parts of their service without proper funding.

Thank you to @JackieLongc4 and the survivors who shared their stories. 1/2

Lady in green, "As a child I couldn't understand how the nazis came to power. And now I understand it... Truss and Kwarteng tanked the economy, my daughter is paying £400 more a month for her mortgage. They are deflecting all of that by talking about small boats." #BBCQT

[Refugee Council 🧡 @refugeecouncil]

"Home Secretary you and I both have children, what would you do if one of them went missing"? Suella Braverman was pressed by SNP Spokesperson and APPG Refugees member @alisonthewliss on what the Government are doing to locate the 154 unaccompanied asylum seeking children still missing from Home Office run hotels.

One in six children face unwanted sexual harassment in public before the age of 10.

A recent survey from the University of Suffolk, commissioned by our charity, shows the majority of respondents experienced sexual harassment by their teens.

Our education system is broken. It’s being run like a business and leaves students without the money they need to survive.   We’re #FightingForStudents in this cost-of-living crisis https://t.co/MnYgJD5jD0

Sad news. Still on my play lists.

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

The multiracial group were active in the Rock Against Racism movement, played benefit concerts for anti-racist and anti-nuclear organisations’. #TerryHall & the Specials were at the heart of resistance to racism & fascism.

[Safe Passage International🧡 @safepassageint]

Utterly brilliant questioning of the Home Secretary this morning on the lack of safe routes & how refugees without a specific country scheme literally cannot seek asylum in the UK without entering the country in any way they can, she's left scrambling.

We need safe routes NOW
