@LeonardsleeG I’m waiting to hear back from you about rearranging illuminate. No replies to emails, phone calls cut off. A very disappointing service offered to your members indeed.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

RT if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Hi @LeonardsleeG do we need to book tickets for the playground only? Thanks!

[NettyK @NettyK3]

@leaderonlineUK it has been three months since I raised an issue with our floors. No responses to my recent emails, impossible to get through to you. Please can someone contact me as soon as possible? Thanks

The strikes this week have not been caused by doctors.

They’ve been caused by a Government that has taken healthcare professionals for granted for far too long.

Please RT if you can see through the Government spin and back the doctors.

All they want is fair pay.

It's hard not to compare and contrast the diversity of the two marches.

One full of angry white men the other full of men, women, children, old, young, black, white and brown people.

I know which one is the hate march and it ain't the latter.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

It is clear that @SuellaBraverman and the right wing press have caused these hate riots today in London.

She must be sacked. Today.

RT if you agree.

WARNING: THREAD CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE

🧵 What a morally vacuous, embarrassingly incompetent monster Suella Braverman is.

Having worked at the Home Office deciding asylum applications, I know the 1951 Refugee Convention's terms are far clearer than her pernicious propaganda would suggest.

She says many asylum seekers base their claims on “feeling” discriminated against in their home countries. But the scope of the Convention is limited to people who believe they have a “well-founded fear of persecution” for some specific reasons. Those reasons are race, nationality, religion, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. Mere feelings of discrimination would not meet that rigorous test, and any application made on those grounds would (rightly) be fast-tracked for refusal.

She suggests that persecution, by definition, must involve a threat to life. Not true. Persecution often DOES involve a threat to life, but other things can qualify as persecution (arbitrary detention, unjustified confiscation of assets, withdrawal of state protection from crime). Braverman knows this, but the boneheads whose votes she is soliciting do not, so hey, why not spin the line?

In my time at the Home Office, I refused many asylum applications which, on the evidence presented, clearly did not meet the test of a well-founded fear of persecution on Convention grounds. The majority of those applications were made by people (mostly young men) who appeared to be seeking better economic futures for themselves and their families. That's completely understandable, and I never blamed them for trying, but it's not grounds for asylum, so neither did I feel any guilt in refusing them…that's not the purpose of the asylum system.

But I did grant asylum to a number of people who had clearly faced unimaginable horror in their own countries before escaping to the UK, where they felt safe and where they believed they would be able to live the rest of their lives in peace.

There was the Sikh activist who had a kettle of boiling water poured over him during a police interrogation. There was the woman from a minority Muslim sect who, when her husband died, and her neighbours started throwing stones through her windows at night, sought the protection of the local police only to be publicly ridiculed and then gang-raped by six officers in front of her three young children. There were the young Tamil men forced to inhale the fumes of burnt chilli powder by Sri Lankan police. Others hung upside-down and beaten for days until they confessed to crimes they played no part in. And many, many more with genuine, provable experiences just as gruesome.

Nearly thirty years on, I can still recall the faces of those people as they recounted their experiences to me during interviews and the tears in the eyes of the interpreters as they translated words no one should ever have to hear.

Since my days in the Home Office, I can’t recall a single Home Secretary who hasn’t had to wrestle one way or another with the asylum system. But neither can I recall one who has approached the task with as little humanity in their heart as Braverman. Truly, she is in a league of her own.

I simply don’t believe the majority of people in this country support the cruel policies that Braverman embraces so enthusiastically. As I listen to her today, my sincerest hope is that when Open Britain and our partners finally deliver a functional democracy in this country, monsters like her will never again be able to game their way into high office and abuse the power they find there.

This is our fight.

@Gatwick_Airport Flight delayed because of staffing issues at Gatwick. I assume you are best placed to advise.

[NettyK @NettyK3]

@Gatwick_Airport when are you going to sort out your staffing levels? Sitting on a plane for 1.5 hours waiting to take off. What’s your deal?

[NettyK @NettyK3]

@easyJet please can you help us complete this quiz? I really want to know my next destination and I can’t work it out 🤯

If you wanted to equip the NHS for this winter, you would have invited frontline staff to your meeting yesterday. You should be listening to staff, not seeking photo ops 🚨

[NettyK @NettyK3]

Please could you share widely ⁦@PeterStefanovi2⁩ ⁦@carolvorders⁩ ⁦@MarinaPurkiss⁩ Thousands of staff have benefited from this wonderful place over the 20 odd years, mums (mostly,including me,but also dads) having been able to get back to work & care for patients

[NettyK @NettyK3]

@SussexBylines @impressreg Yes! I wrote back to them asking them to never put any of their comms through our door.

72% of the UK believe that Water Company bosses who illegally dump sewage should go to jail.

RT if you think they should too.

And they still charge customers BILLIONS in sewage treatment charges that they don’t do.

A private healthcare firm that is linked to a Number 10 adviser has been handed an NHS waiting lists contract.

Please RT if you think everyone should be aware.

Dear @conservatives,

You are failing our country. You are litterally filling our rivers and seas with raw sewage.

@theresecoffey and @IoWBobSeely - any explanation?

@SouthernWater - I keep receiving my bills, and you keep making profits for CEOs. How can this Be?
