[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Siting MP and bastion of free speech @RobertJenrick thinks it should be illegal to praise God in Arabic.

It is wrong for a sitting MP to spout such racist hate speech, particularly at a time of critical right wing terror threats, and he should resign.

RT if you agree.

[Verena Hefti MBE @VHefti]

Standing with all of those who are scared to go out on their local streets right now due to islamophobic violence. My heart and support goes out to you. It is utterly unacceptable.

Did you know they have a family room in Parliament? While I get a nursery place organised I’ll be bringing Eli plus a carer for him with me and using this room a lot!!

helpful explanation

[Natasha Porter OBE @NPorter_]

Wanted to explain in simple terms what is happening in prisons this week. Prisons are full up. More policing plus recall plus long waits for court plus longer sentences for the same crimes means we have more people being held inside prison. And now there's no space left. 🧵

Looked up @fsb_policy template #maternitypolicy which 1000s of small business use. Quote "the Company will provide a suitable, private area near to the toilets where pregnant workers can rest [...] those who are breastfeeding can express milk if they choose to". Do better!

[Verena Hefti MBE @VHefti]

It does say later on "we recognise that toilets are not a suitable place for expressing milk" but why even mention toilets?!?

[Natasha Porter OBE @NPorter_]

Just a reminder that our prisons are not built for heat waves, and over the coming days many thousands of prison officers will be on boiling hot landings in their full uniform trying to provide decency and care for prisoners, who themselves will be living in very hot cells.
