I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.

Transphobia hurts all women.

💬 "If your child says, 'I want to wear a dress,' what's the problem? Or trousers? Let’s be honest: the problem isn’t them—it’s us.

Kids exploring clothes or makeup isn’t dangerous. What is dangerous is the stigma we place on them.

Letting kids explore who they are doesn’t "make them trans" or "confuse" them. It shows them they’re valued and free to be themselves.

It’s 2024, not 1950. Why cling to outdated gender norms that stifle individuality?

If a child wants to paint their nails or wear boba boots, what’s the problem? Maybe it’s us?!

First day of @CumberlandCoun social worker academy completed! ASYE here I come!

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

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.

🗳️ What is Promote The Vote?

Supporting people’s citizenship, promoting independence & upholding human rights are fundamental to social work values & practice.

It is therefore our duty to remove barriers to voting in elections that exist for adults with learning disabilities.
