The Free Speech Union is deeply troubled by what is happening in the Welsh Parliament.
The freedom of elected representatives to speak is at the heart of our democracy. Those we elect to represent us should be able to voice their constituents’ concerns, however uncomfortable they may be for some to hear.
We stand with @joemartin1066 and every elected representative’s right to speak freely in their Parliament.

Jesus, this is a horrific read.
Bit quiet isn't he? theguardian.com/world/2008/m…

The media is obsessed with slimeball celebrity predators- latest allegations are against David Walliams - while Maggie Oliver has to sue the government to get action for tens of thousands of victims of Pakistani rape gangs.
I know which story I think is more important.

It is ridiculous and outrageous that Reform’s duly elected Member of the Senedd, Joe Martin, has been banned from speaking in the Welsh Parliament.
Why is it only Reform that's targeted like this?

Is it a coincidence that the Brand and Walliams cases are all over the news the same week that @MaggieOliverUK is taking the government to court over lack of action over the grooming gangs?
Good grief, @andyburnham is sanctimonious and annoying at #PMQs
Try answering the question.
Prime Minister's Questions taking place at 12 noon today - and we have the joy of Andy Burnham being available this week.

EXACTLY. Let's sort out all the wrong 'uns please.
Russell Brand was investigated, charged, tried and jailed. Justice was done, and rightly so.
So why have the Pakistani grooming gangs that abused thousands of young girls in Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and beyond never been pursued with the same ferocity?
Too many victims were ignored for years by police and councils frightened of being called racist.
Every girl deserved the same justice. Why didn't they get it?

This is awful. Disgraceful that this person was allowed to rack up such a list of offences - and especially against vulnerable people. If you behave like this, you are a total scumbag.
John coker has been jailed for this vicious and violent robbery of a disabled pensioner.
At the time of his conviction, he'd amassed 172 previous offences including 80 offencs against vulnerable people.
Surely the key should've been thrown away!

The UK government may not want to release crime data broken down by ethnicity, so I have been scraping daily court data to collect the first names and surnames of everyone appearing in court across the country.
This is day 52, and the scraper is back 🧵
Oh my goodness, this is so heartbreaking.
This 17-year-old boy took his own life after being falsely accused of rape.
His devastated mother then took her own life almost a year later. Now their family wants answers from the woman who made the allegation.
Jay Cheshire, 17, from Southampton, took his own life in July 2015 after being investigated by police over a rape allegation. Although the accusation was withdrawn after just two weeks, Jay struggled to cope with the investigation and the bullying that followed.
His mother, Karin Cheshire, 55, was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to switch off her son’s life support. Almost a year later, shortly after the anniversary of his death, she also took her own life after falling into a deep depression.
Men can be victims too.

132 days ago, trying to get elected, Andy Burnham said he’d deport this vile rape gang leader.
And yet he’s still here.
Burnham must think we’re fools.
July 1: Andy Burnham asks the Home and Foreign secretaries to "review all possible options" to deport the ringleader of notorious Rochdale grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed.
November 10: His official spokesman says he has "no update on that individual case. It is one for the Home Office. We are exploring every option in that case". @GBNEWS

WE BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS MIRACLES… DO YOU? 🧡
Could one incredible person or business make our Christmas wish come true?
This year, Dogs on the Streets has a rather big Christmas wish, and we're hoping someone with an equally big heart might help us make it happen.
We're desperately hoping to find a generous individual, family or business willing to sponsor a professional branded gazebo, banners and promotional equipmentfor our charity.
🎁 The cost is nearly £982.80.
We know. It's a HUGE ask.
And we certainly don't underestimate just how much money that is, especially at Christmas.
But for a small charity like ours, this isn't simply about having a lovely gazebo with our name on it.
It's about being seen. Being recognised. And reaching people who might otherwise never know we're here to help.
Every day, Dogs on the Streets supports some of the most vulnerable people in our communities and their beloved dogs.
People experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, addiction, mental health difficulties, hospitalisation and unimaginable hardship.
We provide foster care, free accessible veterinary care, advocacy and practical support, always recognising the incredible bond between people and their dogs.
We want to attend more community events, fundraising days and awareness campaigns, but having professional equipment to represent our charity is something we simply cannot justify purchasing when every penny is needed for the dogs and people in our care.
SO WE'RE PUTTING OUR CHRISTMAS WISH OUT INTO THE WORLD…
Perhaps there's a business owner looking to do something truly meaningful this Christmas.
Perhaps a family would like to give a gift that keeps giving.
Or perhaps someone out there believes in our little charity and wants to help us take that next step.
🐾 TO OUR CHRISTMAS SPONSOR…
We would be incredibly proud to recognise your generosity!
🧡 A special thank-you announcement across our social media.
🧡 Your business or name on the equipment as wondered by.
🧡Recognition for your business or family, if you wish.
🧡 A dedicated post celebrating your sponsorship when our new equipment arrives.
🧡 And the knowledge that your kindness will help us reach vulnerable people and their dogs for years to come.
For complete transparency, there will be a DIRECT PAYMENT LINK to the supplier.
This means you can purchase the equipment for us directly, knowing exactly what your money is going towards.
🎁 SPONSOR OUR CHRISTMAS WISH HERE:
👉 in.xero.com/m/cXGKiDSYglifkb…
We completely understand that nearly £982.80 is an enormous amount to ask of anyone.
But sometimes Christmas really does bring unexpected kindness, and we thought, why not put our wish out there and see if someone might make it come true?
Even if you're unable to sponsor us, sharing this post could help it reach that one special person or business.
One generous gift. One small charity. A lasting difference.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in Dogs on the Streets. 🧡
