My day started with this image popping up on my phone.
Could we help save the dog?
I dropped everything and the team swung into action. I’ve never seen anything like it (1/7) 🧵
The Reform v Restore saga is now thoroughly depressing. A snap election resulting in a Labour–Lib Dem coalition looks more likely by the day. The country wouldn’t recover. Grow up, kids.
Little Stormzy came back to visit to say thats for help in his early days.
He is absolutely huge and it is probably the happiest I've ever been to see a dog!!
Look at him go!
If you want to know what pure joy looks like, just look at Espresso Martini.
This little girl was poisoned and went through an absolute nightmare. There were days we really didn’t think she’d make it, but she fought with everything she had. Now she is officially back on her feet! In fact, she’s so thrilled to be alive that she literally will not stop running around the land. We’re trying to take nice photos to get her adoption profile ready, but she’s just zooming everywhere!
Seeing her this happy to be alive is just magic. Keep an eye out, she will be up for adoption very soon! ❤️
Jonathan Sacerdoti was reported by a Green Party councillor to the police for 'harassment' because he argued with her when she turned up on his doorstep to canvas for his vote. Incredibly, the police investigated, but @speechunion was able to help. https://t.co/hGw7l1OBME
Bella came to us 1 week ago massively obese. She was so bad she could hardly walk.
Luckily she has had a great week and today was her first weigh in… (1/5) 🧵

🚨🚨 BREAKING NEWS:
Animal rights campaigner, Anneka Svenska, was visited at home by two police officers and told to accept a police record, attend an “online thinking” course, or face arrest following comments she made on social media about the incineration of beagles at a company that breeds the dogs for use in medical research.
The police alleged that she had committed a crime under the Online Safety Act.
Anneka refused to accept this “community resolution disposal”, which would have remained on her police record, and, after she engaged a lawyer, the case has now been dropped.
Section 179 of the Online Safety Act was introduced by the last Conservative Government and made it a crime, punishable by up to 51 weeks in prison, to knowingly spread false information likely to cause harm. While the Bill was going through Parliament, the FSU warned it might be weaponised in this way to silence legitimate political speech.
Anneka doesn’t believe the information she spread about the company was false. In fact, she has documentary evidence which she says substantiates her claims. Until the Online Safety Act was passed, the company unhappy about comments like this would have had to bring a defamation claim in the civil courts.
Now, it seems, hurty words online can quickly become a police matter – and it seems that companies are now making criminal complaints as part of their brand protection strategies.
If you are visited by the police for a speech matter, we’d urge you to take specialist legal advice before accepting any form of caution or submitting to a re-education course. Members of the Free Speech Union can ask for our help if they find themselves in a similar situation.
@OxfordUnion
So you also wish to play
‘pick & mix’
You know … I remember holding Universities such as Oxford in such high esteem..
No longer .. you sound like a bunch of illiterate idiots who can’t stand to listen to anyone who provides facts and an alternative argument to your pathetic ignorant narrative on this subject ..
and to renege on an agreement says it all !
I note that the @OxfordUnion has chosen not to publish the debate on Islam which they invited me to be part of. Instead, they appear to have given their footage to Middle East Eye to release a very selectively edited 6 minute clip. This is entirely against the agreement we made with them.
We pulled Candy out of a building site where she was struggling to survive. We believe she ate her own leg off as it was infected as a puppy.
Look at her now living her best life in Spain ❤️
The Home Office claims it has removed or deported 70,000 people. Here are the facts:
35% left without officials even realising.
26% were paid to leave.
Just 25% were deportations. And 2/3 of these were Europeans.
This is not control. This is spin.
BREAKING 🚨
I understand that the @ukhomeoffice is aware of tweets that are circulating
These tweets demonstrate that @ukhomeoffice breaks Government codes and lies to the public
I understand that they are very upset about that.
Мне очень хочется чтобы все мечети в Берлине сейчас вывесили лгбт флаги и показали солидарность с европейскими ценностями. И отделили себя от того что произошло сегодня ночью.
There was a far-Right terror plot targeting Muslims at Shrubland Hall in Suffolk last week, you'll have heard from the Government and media. What you may not have heard is that it didn't actually exist, says Steven Tucker. https://t.co/97VRfWUahx
