CALLER: “If you see the girls working in the pub, the banter and the stick that they get, it doesn’t bother them. They just carry on and give it back.”
IAIN DALE: “Maybe it does, but they don’t say anything.”
CALLER: “No, they don't. That’s just how it is, otherwise they wouldn’t work there.”
I’m glad men like this caller are speaking out because we need to expose these misogynistic attitudes, so we can confront and challenge them head-on.
This man's claim that it's women's fault for not speaking out about sexual harassment is classic victim-blaming and reflects a deep ignorance of the power imbalance that older men hold over younger women.
Men with views like this support and uphold patriarchal systems that perpetuate male violence against women and girls. Similarly, if you are a man who chooses to ignore this behaviour in your friends, you are complicit in allowing it to continue.
We have just announced a new project with @Morrisons, @Tesco and @AldiUK to trial the use of feed additive, Bovaer® on ~30 Arla farms. Bovaer® can reduce emissions from cows by 27%, and this represents an amazing chance to reduce emissions on farm. #agriculture#climate
Shirley using the fact that Wynne’s dance was more “joyous” as a basis for her decision is completely ridiculous. It’s not Shayne’s fault he had a rumba and Wynne had an American smooth 🤦♀️

Thoughts with @TomTugendhat this evening as he is suffering chronic amnesia. This was the policy of the Conservative Govt he served in just over a week ago. This is his Govts legacy (they released 10K on earlier early release) & it’s their mess which #Labour is dealing with.
I hope he makes a swift recovery - he used to be a decent Tory
NO WHERE in this comment do I talk about taxes. And the policy that I discussed (i will keep private as it was private) was NOT about taxes, or tax rises, it was about something that would be a positive change.

Not only are Conservative central office trying to dupe people by pretending to be fact checkers - look at the way they attack the very foundations of the democratic principle that accused people have the right to a legal defence. They’ve lost any moral compass #BBCDebate
Tax Check UK is trending because it’s the Tory party press office pretending that it’s an independent verifier
Spread the word
Tax Check UK is officially yet more Tory lies
One week of this to go

The Tories are running a fake fact check scam against the BBC debate.
See how they've renamed and rebranded their website to make it look like something it's not.
Spread the word. Don't let them get away with it.
#bbcdebate
The Conservative party, which is led by a man pledging to restore "integrity" and "accountability" to public life, is currently pushing hundreds of adverts lying about Labour's plans, while rebranding as independent fact-checkers in order to mislead voters

I’m sorry, WHAAATT?!
How dare this man tell us what subjects he thinks are valuable. Thing One: the creative industries are HUGE in the UK. Thing Two: we are HUMANS; not drones; not cogs in your machine.
BREAKING 🚨 The six board members who voted to scrap Thornaby FC's women's teams have now stepped down.
Only Phil Genery and chairman, Gary Morris, remain.
They plan to build a new diverse and wide-ranging board alongside representatives from the women's team.

Disgusted to see this decision, the women’s game is on the up but we still have committees making these horrible decisions. It’s not good enough, these young girls deserve better. I’d love to send the team a signed England shirt to keep them inspired @ThornabyFCWomen ⚽️
Sorry, did @RishiSunak really just say that his return early from D-Day to give an interview to ITV’s @PaulBrandITV so he could attack Starmer should not be politicised???? I mean, this raises chutzpah into an art form…..
