The thing is, human rights are universal not partial, a seamless garment. Deny the humanity of others and someone will soon deny yours too.

‘Fighting every step is so hard' Katie, 17, is autistic and has barely been to school since she was 13. She joined @BBCNuala to discuss her experience as a child navigating England’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system, and how it has impacted her.

Putting aside any debate about causes there are three big public policy failures that have made it harder to manage these riots: 1. Stopping processing asylum seekers - leaving more in hotels and vulnerable to attack. 2. Cutting police numbers (still below 2010) (cont..)

I keep thinking how 3 little girls were killed & more were hurt & traumatised, & instead of talking about their precious lives, we are being forced to focus on violent entitled white men burning cars & towns, who don’t give a shit about women’s & girls’ safety.

Thanks to @lawsocgazette for highlighting the risk to children & young people's legal rights to special educational provision & support that meets their needs. The system fails too many children, but the answer isn't to take away their rights. lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-…

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

The only upside to the horror, harm, and corruption of the last 14 years is that it proves satire is the main coping mechanism of the British 🥴😬🥴🤣⬇️⬇️⬇️

The polls are open. Remember that politicians are servants of the people. Today thousands of them across the UK are asking for your vote. Your vote is precious; it grants power and it removes it. Use it and remind them never to take it, or you, for granted. #GE2024

When voting in 5 days, please remember that under the Tories: Don’t get old. Don’t get sick. Don’t get disabled. Don’t get unemployed. Don’t get zero hours contracted. Don’t get poor. Don’t get unlucky. Don’t get vulnerable. Don’t get ideas above your station.

"They're a bunch of lunatics, aren't they?" "That's what Reform are realistically, the BNP reborn." Brits react to some of the insane things Reform candidates have said.

A bunch of stats out today about the English SEND system: a system that's been in dire straits for decades, & in long-grass review for nearly 5 years The SEND system has now reached a point where Gazza rocks up with a KFC party bucket, a fishing rod, and 8 cans of Ace lager
