Man with curls, "We look at taxation negatively. If you increase tax you go, this must be bad" #BBCQT
"But surely the question should be the use of our taxes. So if I had to pay £20 more tax but my energy bills or my transportation bills were reduced, surely that's what we should be looking at?"
"Rather than saying we need to keep cutting taxes, I'm fine paying more, if I got more from it"

My parents or school never read stories with two dads to me.
I never saw pride flags as a kid.
I didn’t learn the word gay until I was in secondary school.
I didn’t see any gay role models on tv.
But I’m gay, and always have been.
Straight representation didn’t make me straight. Gay representation won’t make kids gay.
But not having a variety of representation will make some kids feel like they don’t belong, or are wrong.
If people won’t allow children to see the diversity of families, they’re failing them and putting their own prejudice above the wellbeing of their children.
Section 28 banned the ‘promotion’ of homosexuality in schools and is still having effects today, despite being repealed 20 years ago.
Ignorance or bigotry can no longer be used as an excuse and all children should see versions of themselves in our schools and in their lives.

I know quite a few left wing lawyers. But they don’t use their political views to represent clients. They use the law. Exactly as right wing lawyers do. If you use lawyers’ political views to attack or undermine them it just shows that you don’t understand what lawyers do.

This is one of the most dangerous, irrational, populist and unprincipled politicians we have seen in high office in this country...ever.

The UK govt's approach to migration is cruel and inhumane.
The absence of safe routes and the criminalisation of people seeking safety force more people to risk their lives at sea – with devastating effects.
RT or QT this to tell @SuellaBraverman we need safe routes now!
