Once again absolutely appalling treatment and lies in respect of disability. Worst company I have ever had to deal with @YourGuinness

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

Great choice! And no, I wasn’t involved in the decision. But at a time when the right is weaponising women’s rights (by trying to undermine and reverse them) Mme Pelicot has shown the difference that the courage of one person can make.

Keir Starmer says there will be a “painful Budget” Rachel Reeves says there will be “tough decisions” Painful for who? Tough on who? Tough on the owners of private jets? Great. If you want to exert some pain on profiteering banks. We’re with you. - Fran Heathcote #Lab24

This this this
Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.

📢 There is no equality without equality for all. And in the face of these senseless riots, we stand together against racism, Islamophobia, and all forms of discrimination and hatred. We stand in solidarity with Muslim communities and people of colour. Hate will not win.

This is the moment ex-SNP MP Mhairi Black accused the government of “sleepwalking closer to fascism” in a viral speech from 2022.

Here’s just a few examples of Daily Mail headlines that have fanned the flames of hate and normalised Islamophobic and anti-migrant rhetoric #GMB

Let me be absolutely crystal fucking clear Farage @Nigel_Farage, you do not, nor have you, or will you, ever speak for, or represent me, on account of me not being a bigot, racist or xenophobe. You and your divisive, shit stirring rhetoric fucking disgust me.

Sunak framing getting people off disability benefits as a “moral mission” is a Victorian dog whistle. It frames being able to work as a virtue and being too sick to as a moral failing. It suggests the solution is, not structural change, but disabled people trying harder.
