Boris Johnson today calls Starmer “Sir Keir Schnorrer” (see attached). “Schnorrer” is the Yiddish word for beggar and scrounger. It is pretty offensive. It was part of the lingua franca of my grandparents and of my childhood. I find it unsettling to see Johnson appropriating it to describe someone whose wife is Jewish - and especially when he says “if Schnorrer gets in, he will immediately begin the process of robbing this country of
its new-found independence
and make the UK the punk of the EU”. What do you think? Am I being over sensitive?
Bird flu is infecting mammals and we are talking about Sam Smith and Madonna’s face. The older I get the more it becomes clear humans don’t have a future on this planet https://t.co/doDUl7uStb
Laura Kuenssberg: Maybe social care would improve is care workers weren't struggling on £18,000 / year.
Rishi Sunak: What if we gave them a SENSE that they're being paid more?
#BBCLauraK: Would you work for £18,000?
Rishi Sunak: Look Laura! My job actually matters!!
As a Green, I've always believed that having a @UKLabour Govt would be better than having a Tory Govt, but I'm starting to wonder if that's true. I don't want #ToryLite policies for our precious public services and when combatting #ClimateChange. Time to vote for @TheGreenParty
Don't forget that the Repair Cafe is at the Sherman today 10am - 1pm. If you have a broken toaster, or bike, or clothes, or any household item really; just bring it to the Repair Cafe and get it repaired for free!
@jackwallington@HomesenseUK We had the same with a cabinet from there, the glass in the door collapsed into the frame, unable to close the door…luckily my dad could fix it so we didn’t bother contacting them. Another part has since come off too.
Dear Britain you've rarely looked uglier than you do at this moment. Defending the indefensible e.g Lady Hussey & vilifying victims e.g #MeghanMarkle#NgoziFulani only proves this country is racist
We won’t be silent, Britain belongs to us too✊🏾My piece👇🏾
