Only in a year where #GiselePélicot holds 50 men who raped her to account does a rapist President get named Person of the Year (for the second time). The message is clear: misogyny rewards power, while survivors like Gisele fight to ensure #ShameMustChangeSides.

did a @RollingStoneUK job in June and still haven't been paid for it. never "called out" a company publicly in my life before (mortifying to have to ask for my own money frankly), and I'm prob yelling into the void, BUT it's Christmas so perhaps there is a miracle to be had lol
No, sorry. What this country needs is access to healthy foods at affordable prices. It needs to encourage people to cook and learn how to eat. Eating habits were one of my biggest culture shocks coming from Spain. Eating healthy food should be the norm, not providing drugs.

The UK’s Prime Minister is proposing giving free weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic to unemployed obese people in order to encourage them to work:
“[The drug is] very important for our NHS, because, yes we need more money for the NHS, but we've also got to think differently.”
Looking for a job is one of the most disheartening experiences out there, for me personally at least. I spent hours optimising a CV to then find that it's either not looked at or I need to fill in the same information every time on an application form. Frustrating.

I’m sorry but if Russian bombs rained down on displaced Ukrainians in a hospital courtyard & they were burnt alive, there would be wall to wall media coverage. Keir Starmer would do an emergency address to the nation. The world would stop.
But Palestinian lives don’t matter.

El alcalde de Mazan, la localidad donde Gisele Pelicot fue vi0lada durante 10 años por decenas de hombres mientras estaba drogada e inconsciente: "No es para tanto, no hubo niños involucrados, nadie murió" 😐 Cultura de la vi0lación: minimizar, normalizar y blanquear los abusos.

What you allow Israel to do to other people will set a precedent of what can be done to you. Remember that.

¿No quieres que se generalice sobre los hombres? Haz algo. Empieza por llamar la atención a tu cuñado cuando hace una broma machista. Censura a tu amigo si se sobrepasa de fiesta. No menosprecies ninguna agresión.
Si no quieres ser parte del problema, sé parte de la solución.

We pay William £23m a year from Duchy profits. The duchy refuses to pay corporation or capital gains tax. William refuses to say what income tax he’s paying. This donation is the equivalent of someone of £30k donating £3. Yet they want you all to believe they’re generous.

Do you know what’s an effective form of suicide prevention? Universal basic income. Affordable housing. Free healthcare.

We have people in office that were adults during a time when women couldn’t open their own bank account. It wasn’t unlawful to sexually harass women at work until 1986. Feminism isn’t an antiquated ideal. The idea that women are equals is still new.

This is why I laugh at women who disparage feminism under the male gaze. Baby, whether you like it or not, feminism changed your life. Without feminism women are nothing, we're dehumanized objects under the patriarchy - dey play.
But let them die frozen because they can't turn the heating on
For 14 years, pensioners paid a heavy price for Tory failure. A crashed economy, plummeting living standards, health and social care on its knees and rising crime.
This Labour Government is committed to making pensioners in every part of the country better off.
ALT Graphic text entitled: "How the Labour Government is supporting pensioners: - Labour's commitment to the triple lock means pensions increased by £900 this year alone - State pension to increase by more than a thousand pounds over this Parliament - Labour's plan for clean, homegrown energy will cut bills for good - Millions of homes upgraded with insulation and low carbon heating
