Here's another for you @SuellaBraverman. 18 year old boy from Enfield. His Mum dies and he has no family. He ends up homeless living in a shed. He gets my contact details and I help him. I put him in the Travelodge on the A10 for 2 weeks until I can find him a room in a housing association. I knew the staff so this was possible. He was scared, cold, wet, and starving when I picked him up. He cried for hours. Anyhow we looked after him and now he's doing a degree in engineering. It was not a lifestyle choice for him. And I'm sure he'd be more than happy to educate you on this.
I support workers going on strike. They are not alone in this struggle, and I stand with them in their efforts to improve workplaces. https://t.co/0DXjQgteQH #TogetherWeRise via @unisontheunion
@rustyrockets Ironic how Brand’s cult demand proof in a court of law before they will believe any accusations against their messiah but are quite happy to believe any old shit that he spouts, none of which, I believe, has ever been proven in a court of law.

'We can't cope with the number of people coming across.'
'For crying out loud, the French allow people to work, we don't! We simply store people.'
Is Britain letting migrants down?
Amnesty International's Steve Valdez-Symonds and Former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib debate.
We know almost nothing about her, her political views, or what she’s done to get there. But now she’s in the House of Lords, she can make laws for the rest of us for life. Thank heaven Boris Johnson took us out of the unaccountable EU!
On World Refugee Day, I'm sharing my humble journey from seeking safety to becoming a doctor:
. 1999 - forced to leave family in Afghanistan to seek safety in UK aged 15 having lived childhood in war and camps
. 2001 - started college (A-levels) with not much formal education or command of English
. 2003 - got admitted to study medicine at @Cambridge_Uni despite many discouraging, saying I wasn't white and not educated enough
. 2006 - graduated from Cambridge and finished studies at Harvard and Imperial despite battling PTSD and loneliness
. 2010 - qualified as a doctor, and have since been proudly serving people in the NHS and 🌎 as a doctor.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt on this journey, it’s this - refugees are not victims. We are survivors, dreamers, contributors. The bravery of all those who seek safety should be celebrated.
@BorisJohnson@idualliance If anyone is personally responsible for the undermining of our democratic institutions it’s you; you despicable lying bullshitter.
