10 years ago my wife, the mum of our kids & the MP for Batley&Spen was killed by a far right extremist.
At anniversaries I try to be optimistic about the future. But not this time. In the ten years since she was killed we have gone backwards & I fear our democracy is now at risk
Este año no estaremos en Eurovisión, pero lo haremos con la convicción de estar en el lado correcto de la historia.
Por coherencia, responsabilidad y humanidad.

Every single donation is important at this time - yesterday we issued 27 units which is above normal levels of 10 per day. Please come forward now to ensure this rare blood group is available for patients who need it. Thank you. ❤️
No one should have to risk their life to collect life-saving aid.
Humanitarian aid must be safe, impartial, and based on need.
It should not be a dehumanising or life-threatening experience.
We are on the ground in Gaza, as we have been for decades, ready to deliver lifesaving aid alongside our partners.
What we need is safe, unimpeded access.
Let us do our jobs.
In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.
@MsLMG79@serialsockthief My mum reckons that that shop was called Tony Demarcos. I’ll have a quarter of Berwick cockles and a quarter of pear drops (even though I nearly choked on a pear drop as a child)
