Funny how the “fast-paced environment” slows right down when it’s time to approve a pay rise.

Is women's football the only sport where the women get constantly compared to the men? It's baffling. No one says "I'm not going to watch the women's javelin because the men throw further".

Taxing them out of existence on the one hand, desperately trying to expand the sector on the other.

It would involve being honest about all the government failings that have led to people’s lives being worse off, and admitting that immigrants aren’t the issue.
Lack of house building
Lack of infrastructure investment
Austerity
Losing EU funding for deprived areas

I’m supporting @TheBMA
Because trying to fix the NHS without improving pay & conditions for health/social care workers is like trying to refill a bath without the plug
Recruitment, retention, burnout - this is the crisis
Resident doctors deserve better. So does every patient

Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three staff working.
I said to them “MR LOVERMAN”.
None of them responded with "SHABBA".
I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S.
We must confront them every time.

It's not aimed at people like you. In fact we'd be doing something wrong if you were at all attracted.
Start examining the real world instead of assuming that all political wisdom is to be found from within your own prejudices.

I want to see a change so there is an automatic by election triggered if an MP changes Parties or loses the whip for more than 6m.
Voters should have rights. And not be taken for mugs.

Poor Labour may need to focus on policies that actually benefit people, rather than simply dancing to the Murdoch/Farage beat.

When the world feels loud and your heart feels small,
Reach out, you don’t have to face it all.
A kind ear can calm the storm inside.
You are not alone.

Just to be clear, it is a flat out lie to suggest that Labour is going to raise the pension age to 74 or 72 or indeed do anything to alter the pension age.

Divisive attention-seeking shit-stirring old gobshite.
We do, and the UK school curriculum now teaches children about Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other religions in Britain - presumably to try and stop them turning into radicalised divisive shit-stirring old gobshites! 😂

Perhaps that might have a little something to do with the Cost of Living being so ridiculously high in Britain? People just don't have spare cash to save for a rainy day - the rainy day is NOW

That this is presented by the media as “policy” is why we are in this mess.
These are not serious people. These are monkey tennis ideas, as divorced from the reality of criminal justice as you might expect from a company fronted by multi-millionaire simpletons.
