The day that some state funded grammar schools take the opportunity to refuse continued further education to pupils who don’t meet a randomly set results criteria.

Together, Bezos, Musk & Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom half of America.

Billionaires are buying elections.

And there's a greater concentration of ownership than at any time since the Gilded Age.

Is that the society we want for our country?

[Adam Schwarz @AdamJSchwarz]

Starmer: "The Leader of the Opposition has been an MP for eight years... I can't recall her once raising this issue [child sexual abuse]."

Badenoch: "As a minister, I would not have been speaking on this specific issue."

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families.

Survivors of the Telford abuse scandal have criticised Elon Musk’s attack on Jess Phillips, stating she has “devoted her life to fighting for women and girls.”

In a letter shared with the Guardian the seven women, including three survivors of the Telford sexual abuse scandal, came to the Labour MP’s defence and said that there was “no one in public life who has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests”.

The other four signatories – Julie Devey, Carole Gould, Emma Ambler and Nour Norris – have lost a female relative to gender-based violence or have suffered domestic abuse.

In their response to Musk, coordinated by the campaign group @KilledWomennw, the women said that those who “weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain” should “hang their heads in shame”.

“We write as victims of extreme male violence,” the letter said. “What connects us all beyond our shared trauma is the support and kindness we have received from Jess Phillips over many years, personally and as activists fighting for change.

“We know there are those who would weaponise our pain for their own ends or political gain; who speak out with new-found interest, not to tackle the horrendous crimes that stole so much from us, but to further their own agenda. They should hang their heads in shame.

“As campaigners and activists, we fight every day to stop what happened to us or our loved ones happening to anyone else. We stand by Jess, knowing she has devoted her life to fighting for women and girls.”

I stand with @jessphillips. Do please reTWEET if you do, too. This is beyond party politics now. It’s about whether as a nation we still have self-respect. #IStandWithJess

🚨 NEW: Jess Phillips says she turned down a government-led inquiry into the grooming gangs in Oldham because a locally led one in Telford meant 'things changed, way quicker'

"I will base my decisions on evidence not on very rich men in America."

Survivors of Telford abuse crimes & the mums of two women murdered by boyfriends say of the Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips that ‘no one in public life has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests’

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

This is Jess Philips.

Do you know who should really be ashamed? @RobertJenrick who was Home Office minister Oct 2022 to Dec 2023 and is capitalising on far right lies.

The Tories for allocating child sex abuse victims £40 each and Elon Musk for being a dangerous ignorant moron.

Convincing people of the "why" is difficult. Crossing the rubicon from "why" to "how" requires relentless effort.

We have delivered our Action Plan to Conor Murphy MLA to finally delivery the commitment to grow Ulster University Magee campus to 10,000 students. /1

Having just watched the series "Say Nothing" it hammers home the absolute torture endured by the families of the disappeared.

How anyone with knowledge cannot relieve the eternal pain of loss, exposes a very dark kind of evil.

Thoughts with all those, who without closure, will suffer another Christmas with "Nothing Said" by those who know. 💔

[Derry Journal @derryjournal]

When a woman is brutally murdered in her own home if your first reaction is A. not all men B. But what about male victims C. Feminism is the issue. You are part of the problem and I fear for the women around you
