You may not like a member of Congress. You may in fact despise them.
However, showing up and terrorizing staffers in a professional environment is just bullshit.
“Do better”

We’ve spent decades running trains underneath London in a tunnel with a sole member of staff in the cab and where you have to evacuate onto the track, but we can’t let people board a train at a platform in the north without a conductor.

"Prior to 2004, the presence of Hand Car Washes (HCWs) were virtually non-existent"
Every single car wash I have been to in the last ten years has been migrant run or migrants washing my car.
They work hard, long hours and quickly.
If they all go, who will wash cars because I do not see English people washing cars ever in London Hertfordshire, Essex, Surrey, midlands etc
Why don’t English people wash cars ?
Beautiful service at Hull's Cenotaph this morning, honoured to have been able to pay my respects alongside my fellow councillors
Hundreds lined the streets and joined to pay their respects, and it was moving to see so many veterans there too
We owe so much to those who have served our country

I can’t understand the Dishoom hate. The food and drinks are consistently very good. It’s not the best Indian restaurant in the UK but to say there’s something better in 90% of our towns is a lie. It’s probably the best chain restaurant in the country.

Every aspect of this story is horrifying.

Using a global tragedy as a weapon to demand venues allow him to perform his dog shit music is definitely the most disgusting form of activism in recent years.

The thing about El-Sayed is, he's just so unlikeable! Just shouting at journalists saying they're not American...
Say what you want about Mamdani but he's very charming, El-Sayed just isn't

WHAT?!
Spiders - the best nightclub not just in Hull but the entire country - has closed with immediate effect?
This requires national attention @andyburnham. Convene COBRA now.

So important to remember - these ILR reforms were trying to fix a system the *Conservatives* created
Even with the reforms badly watered down, they’re still less liberal than the Conservative governments policies…
Also weird seeing so many people frame ILR/citizenship as a reward for migrant carers work
The ‘reward’ for their job is the salary they receive…
Salman Anwar retweeted
Just 18% of individuals who responded to the government's consultation were British citizens. Three quarters were migrants here on a temporary visa.
Our immigration policy is now being decided by those who are not even citizens of this country.
Kind of mad that we’ve brought over hundreds of thousands of care workers (and their dependants) to fill shortages, only for the workers to potentially leave the sector once they get ILR or citizenship
We could end up with the same shortages, just with hundreds of thousands more people permanently settled here…
I had never got round to listening to Fontaines D.C. but finally gave them a listen
Their latest album is just *incredible*, genuinely blown away by it

If what’s happening to Poundland was happening to Waitrose, Fraser and the Tory Party would be in Parliament Square with pitchforks.
They just don’t get it.
12,000 jobs are at stake. 600 stores.
I have received hundreds of messages from angry and scared workers.
And *there is an offer* on the table. Poundland doesn’t have to go under.
The Government should be doing everything it can to keep Poundland alive.

Absolutely insane sentence
A driver *deliberately* used his van to run over a cyclist, resulting in serious injury…and as a result will spend less than two years in prison
And he wasn’t even banned from driving! Genuinely insane
A van driver who deliberately ran over a cyclist while delivering blood to a hospital has been jailed for three years and six months.
Mark Okotie, 44, swerved into the path of a cyclist following an altercation on New Cross Road in Lewisham in March 2024. The cyclist, a man in his 20s, suffered multiple pelvic fractures and a broken thigh bone, requiring surgery.
More than two years on, the victim says he can no longer run as he used to and sometimes panics when he hears large vehicles approaching from behind.

Just completely insane that a Conservative councillor drugged his wife and repeatedly invited men online to rape her over several years??
Joanne Young is such an incredibly brave woman
A former Conservative councillor “advertised” his wife online so strangers could come to their home and rape her while she was unconscious, a court heard.
Philip Young, 50, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges of drugging and abusing his former partner, Joanne Young.
