I successfully prosecuted 1000s of men for rape
They were all documented & vetted
They didn’t come by boat & live 4 to a room in hotels
They live in every town & city
88% of them are white
If you ONLY care about the black/brown perps then you don’t really care about women & girls

Main thing I'm taking from the German election result is that Musk and Vance support for the AfD made no positive difference whatsoever.

In the current scheme of things that really matters.

Journalists: this is no longer a news source. It's a far-right information eco-system. If you're making any editorial judgement based on what you see here, something has gone very wrong.

Daydream Believer. Perfect. One of my favourite songs. Thank you @MishalHusain #r4today

No-one will stop Putin with phone calls. The attack last night, one of the biggest in this war, has proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support from the whole West for Ukraine. The next weeks will be decisive, not only for the war itself, but also for our future.

BREAKING: Australia has introduced a new bill that will Ban billionaire like Elon Musk from buying Elections in Australia

The govt is raising #TuitionFees.

Please note:
Students will NOT pay more.
Graduates will NOT pay more.
The richest graduates who can afford to WILL repay loans for longer.

This is not an attack on students. It's essential to protect the quality of their education.

director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies @PJTheEconomist tells Times Radio:

"I’m afraid I have absolutely no sympathy with their arguments on inheritance tax and the impact on family farms and agriculture. This is special pleading by some extremely wealthy people. Very few farmers will be affected by this, for example....

there's no other country in Europe or hardly any others that completely exempt business assets and agricultural assets from inheritance tax. We never used to, didn't destroy family farms. I'm disappointed actually to see such special pleading given such prominence"

I suspect the response to the Budget this week is going to be unhinged. The mainstream right has lost any sort of perspective. It lacks the language to describe things it does not like in anything other than apocalyptic terms.

[Pippa Crerar @PippaCrerar]

It isn’t new for Labour (and Tory!) activists to volunteer in US elections - they do it every time. Trump campaign’s decision to weaponise probably shouldn’t come as a surprise. But *if* it’s an issue for Labour, then isn’t it also one for eg Nigel Farage & Liz Truss?

Today, we remember Aberfan. On October 21, 1966, at 9.13am, a colliery spoil tip collapsed and slid down a mountainside engulfing Pantglas Junior School and around 20 houses. 144 people were killed, 116 of them children. They should never be forgotten. RIP

@HywelPlaidCymru Absolutely! Also a faster direct train to Manchester Airport would be good ….not to mention Cardiff!

So it seems the Crewe stretch of HS2 (in light blue) is back on.

Apparently it is possible to amend the project...except for its classification...which remains, inexplicably, "England & Wales".

You will notice from this handy map how much of this "Welsh" project is in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

This has robbed Wales of roughly £4bn.

I can confirm that when i got my flu jab at the pharmacist today, me having a daily asthma inhaler also qualified me for covid vaccine!

So if you are eligible for flu vaccine via asthma and want a covid jab too, pharmacy might be best bet.

GP has *only* sent me flu reminders!

After hearing some underwhelming testimony last month at the #COVIDInquiry on the use of respirators, @trishgreenhalgh and I decided to write a rapid response to the @bmj_latest to set the record straight.
