Yup

Dear @elonmusk

There was an inquiry

A 7-year long one

The Tories failed to act on this

Labour say they now are

Both the former chief prosecutor & police whistleblower who uncovered the paedophile gang disagree with you

Why?

Because they have a clue

Read before you tweet.

[George Foulkes @GeorgeFoulkes]

The first person to expose gangs of Asian men sexually abusing young girls in Yorkshire was Ann Cryer, who was then a local Labour MP and who received death threats and abuse as a result.
Maybe Elon Musk and his acolytes might like to study the facts of history

Raise your hand if you agree these 2 are a cancer to uk politics

[Antonello Guerrera @antoguerrera]

I think the @guardian can - and should - easily sue this guy.

Another bad poll for Starmer says #bbclaurak as she reads out the front page of the Daily Fail.

The actual poll:

Labour 30 percent, Tories 23, Reform 22.

And that’s after 6 months of relentless negativity from the media and constant promotion of Reform.

[Trevor McArdle @McardleTrevor]

The past 9 years Jess Phillips MP has stood in the House of Commons & read the name of every woman that lost their life to domestic violence

She does so as testament to the women’s lives & to “our collective failure”

& the shit, Elon Musk, calls her a “rape genocide apologist”

[Lou D🌹 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @louderry]

For those falling for the outrage (campaign to demonise Jess Philips), by the Tories, the 7 years public enquiry into child abuse/grooming gangs which covered Rotherham, was published in 2022. Tories enacted none of the recommendations.

We’re proud of the many milestones we’ve achieved together as a faculty. We're grateful for the support our students, staff and wider community have shown us and we're really excited for all that’s coming in the New Year.

Season’s Greetings.

As closing statements were heard at the Post Office inquiry today, we paid an early ‘tribute’ to the great figure at the centre of it all. Saint Paula Vennells…

[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

Donald Trump, a self-confessed sexual assaulter, being named Time's Person of the Year over Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged & raped by her husband & 100 men for YEARS, and who waived anonymity to change the world for women, shows you exactly why women are rightly fucking ANGRY.

[Moog @a_toots]

After taking PR advice from Gregg Wallace, Lee Anderson has now released a statement, saying: "It's mainly a handful of middle-class women of a certain age that are questioning my experience of The Somme."

[Education, Health & Human Sciences @GreEduHealth]

The faculty PTES results for 2024 show an improvement of 4% from 73% in 2023 to 77% in 2024. We have 18 courses with 100% satisfaction.

Testament to the work the Associate Heads of Student Success have put in to help teams to action plan and make changes.

Congratulations.

Urgent search for missing Bexleyheath girl, 12, believed to be with two men https://t.co/qQvzQn7cDx

[Harriet Harman @HarrietHarman]

It’s not that standards have changed. Women always felt creeped out by predatory, lewd men. It’s just that now women feel able to challenge. Older, middle class women more able to challenge than freelance junior women. It’s our duty💪💪💪 https://t.co/g22OEsygtg

[nazir afzal @nazirafzal]

A middle class man of a certain age certainly shouldn’t be accusing a “handful of middle class women of a certain age” when they make allegations against him

What’s missing from this story is the men who may have witnessed these things but chose to stay silent

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

The misogyny in UK politics
- a woman who made an error and Magistrates issued a 'discharge' - lowest punishment - has to resign

- a man served time for assaulting girlfriend - no response from Party and Leader blocks questions and runs from interview

Not on my watch Nigel - abortion time limits protect those who face the tragedy of fatal foetal abnormality from being forced to give birth to a baby that will die, not a weapon for you to get votes.

[Jan Rowe @Janroweljmu]

Let’s hope that the statutory ITT criteria are also rewritten. The current 24/5 version is proving unmanageable. Time for major change and to hear new voices from across providers and schools.
