So many men making the news every damned day: Al Fayed, Diddy, Dominique Pelicot and his 80 rapist friends, Andrew T*te, the Taliban. Everywhere you look, men subjugating and abusing women, weaponising or profiting from sexual violence. Enough of this shit.

Based on Labour’s shadow cabinet, 84% went to comprehensive schools, 10% went to private schools and 6% to state grammar schools.
That would mean for the first time the cabinet closely reflected British society. https://t.co/CuFcvtuJ7z

Don’t want to do the whole prophetic fallacy thing - but as Starmer drives to Downing St the sun comes out. What a contrast to May 22 when Sunak launched the election campaign

[@lucydunn @luce29]

Who are we going to take the piss out of now?

@WorksWithWords So true

Made it.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Starmer, if he becomes PM, will inherit the highest British taxes since the war. Only an idiot would say this is his fault. Thing is, it's not Sunak's fault either.

A thread where I will annoy everyone.

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Blimey. What a story from ⁦@PippaCrerar⁩ https://t.co/7JoGi1kW17

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

This is important….

[@lucydunn @luce29]

Just like the Brexit £300m a week battle bus….

@stevieprince It’s. A. Lie.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

During tonight’s #ITVDebate, Rishi Sunak said small boat crossings are down by “a third” in the last 12 months.

That was true in 2023, comparing year-on-year. But so far in 2024 provisional figures show they’re up 38% vs the same period last year. #GE24 (1/2)

[Full Fact @FullFact]

Rishi Sunak claimed during the #ITVDebate that “English schoolchildren are the best readers anywhere in the western world.”

But according to one measure (Pisa test results), pupils in Ireland, Canada and USA had a higher reading score than England. #GE24 https://t.co/drFbexsxbt

[@lucydunn @luce29]

Agreed

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

I have to say a well constructed thirty minute head to head interview with Starmer and then another with Sunak would yield far more than this constrained but shouty debate

[@lucydunn @luce29]

Wake up Starmer and fight back #ITVDebate

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

2/ ... and since the 2019 election the swing voters who delivered Johnson's majority (@LabourTogether voter segments)...have begun to desert them because Brexit has failed, both materially and morally...

Watching the @BBCBreakfast Post Office special. The scandal is made hundred times more powerful when you hear the real life stories from the mouths of the victims
