Please come. Please share. We walk towards political, social, cultural change to end violence against all women and girls. #zaraaleena #NeverAgain #hernamewas #neverforgotten #MWR #reclaimthestreets #JoinUs

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

We're ending nearly two centuries of injustice towards some of the most vulnerable in society.

No one should be criminalised for sleeping rough. By scrapping the cruel, outdated Vagrancy Act, we're ensuring people get support and dignity - not punishment.

Less arguing and more positivity would be good. Come on #Britain. Please get behind #Labour who are in power so can get #change done. They have #WorkingBritain’s best interests at heart, not #ReformUK Have a lovely day whatever you’re doing!

Spot on Alastair.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

And what would you do to fix it? Absolutely no idea. No plans. No policies. Just funny films and the big smile. All a game and a grift

[Diana FairbairnSmith @cuicui555]

Today’s sun won’t bring harm. The plants in the pots will arrange themselves for a gentle visitor. It will be bright enough to help mothers to dry their laundry quickly and cool enough for the children to play all day. Today’s sun will not be harsh on anyone.

[Sheet Music Library @LibrarySheet]

Leonard Bernstein talking about the musical form and the melody.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

When your kids are growing up, access to childcare is everything.

I know that's a real struggle for too many families right now.

Today, we're announcing hundreds of new school-based nurseries.

Saving parents money, helping them to work, and improving access to childcare.

Nigel Farage says, “if you can afford it, you pay.” Is he talking about A) having to pay perhaps £33,000 for a hip replacement in the future or B) talking about income #tax to fund a fair society? #SaveOurNHS

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

NEW: Nigel Farage is once again in America to fundraise for Donald Trump’s Republican party, with latest data showing he’s spent more than 800 hours - the equivalent of 2.5 days a week - on outside employment since election.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow! German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius SLAMS JD Vance's speech as undemocratic and calls it "not acceptable."

“Here in Germany, we fight for your right to disagree against us.”

He’s 100% right!

[Diana FairbairnSmith @cuicui555]

@CeliaRichards0n @CraigBennett3 @RachelReevesMP Yes it was a good interview, revealing there’s mostly common ground / consensus between the govt and experts who work to protect our wildlife and countryside . Not this constant #unpatriotic division by #opposition

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

MUST-WATCH: Daniel Hodges, the Capitol police officer who was crushed by the Jan 6 rioters who pinned him against a wall, came back this week to ensure safety at Trump's inauguration and just spoke at the Capitol addressing the pardons.

Daniel, America failed you. 💔

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

I gave this TED talk warning Silicon Valley of the profound threat of it posed to democracy nearly 6 years ago. It provoked a lawsuit that caused me years of pain. The UK government did nothing to contain the threat. And here we are.

[Diana FairbairnSmith @cuicui555]

I do 👏

[Tom Baldwin @TomBaldwin66]

I suspect Keir Starmer’s attack on the lies and misinformation about rape gangs will garner more media interest than important NHS announcements today. Trolls crave attention and they’ve got it. That said, all fair-minded people will be applauding him for finally speaking out.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Thank you everyone for sending this to 1.1 million views🙏

Without trade unions & the workers willing to back them with strike action when needed we wouldn’t have

• a minimum wage
• maternity & paternity rights
• pension provision
• holiday & sickness entitlements

victories which have benefited every single person in this country

You can use this handy “find a union” from @The_TUC to find one that best suits you

@MarshSongs @QueenWillRock Eugene Goodman, standing alone, who lured away the mob away from the senate, was an absolute hero

Kamala Harris later asked him to escort her at Biden's inauguration, he got a standing ovation

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

[Archie the terrier @SuzanneatSavvy]

Look I’ll be honest, I’m an employer & not overly happy at increase in NICs, but I know my employer allowance has risen to mitigate some of this. At the end of the day I want staff who can see a dr when they are ill & future employees taught in schools that aren’t crumbling.

1. PERSONAL NEWS:
Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBC🧵
