@oldspeak_books Childish nail polish?! Wow.
What on earth is wrong with her jewellery, and tattoos?! Stunningly spiteful comments

Nigel Farage confirms that Reform UK will vote *against* the bill to lift the two child cap, keeping hundreds of thousands of children in poverty.

@sophielouisecc …you really need to think through your remarks before posting, Sophie

[Martyn McCarthy @MartynMccarthy]

@Jenny_1884 No, and he’s not on a jolly… maybe watch a news channel before commenting. Do you keep track of your leader, Nigel’s whereabouts too?

The brutality Afghan women endure under Taliban rule is not just a national crisis, it is a stain on the conscience of the world.

Girls as young as ten are stripped of education. Women are beaten in the streets for daring to live freely.

Every day, their rights are crushed under a regime that sees their very existence as a threat.

And the world? Watching. Silent. Indifferent. Complicit.
Where are the voices that claim to defend freedom and human rights?
Where is the outrage?

@chrismackay5 @narindertweets You may think you’re any or all of those, Chris - I’m sure others will judge. You also don’t need to be far right or a misogynist to be a patriot. Try being nice as well as patriotic

@AlanYoureRight @Haggis_UK Alan, a lot to unpack there.
You don’t stand with Ukraine? Why not?
You don’t think racism is a thing?
Are you an anti vaxxer?
And what’s LGBGTG?

@sarah_owl3 @henningwehn Nice

@sarah_owl3 @henningwehn What about women who previously had a penis?

🔥 This #FossilFoolsDay we’re calling out the UK Govt for defending reckless #NorthSea oil & gas licences in court last week...

🌊 But our rally made it loud & clear. We need ocean justice & climate action, not fossil fuel expansion. Join the fight! https://t.co/snaybze5yr

@montie It also seems that people can’t afford cars on the Tory run side

There are 20 months between these photos

In the 1st, I was addicted to exercise & being ‘thin’. In the 2nd, I’m ‘overweight’ but have a much healthier relationship with food & exercise.

So, before commenting on someone’s weight, think about what they might be going through ❤️

@frog_le4 @RevRichardColes Lè Frog, no it’s not. Come to the UK and Google it, it’s still very much the Gulf of Mexico and will continue to be. It’s been that way since 1550, so before the US existed as a country. No one outside Trumpland will refer to it as anything other than its recognised name.

@Chainsaw1912 @Uptotherewithit @GoodwinMJ @UKLabour Chainsaw, do you know what an Ayotollah is? And what is a mosk?

[Martyn McCarthy @MartynMccarthy]

@GoodwinMJ Matt, what’s your definition of Islamophobia?

[Martyn McCarthy @MartynMccarthy]

@megolithic @GoodwinMJ You know that’s not true, Gareth. The Question Time audience is representative of all political parties - left and right. They state this at the start of the programme every week. I didn’t see any radical left lunatic types overwhelming this week’s programme, did you?
