A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

In the early 2000’s my commute included walking past a record shop, it was dangerous for my bank account. As a result, 25 years later, I’m finding gems in my collection that I’ve always overlooked. Found this one yesterday 🤯.

If you happen upon any Mystic Brew vinyl from Fatcity Records, snap it up. It won’t disappoint. They’re compilation albums from the late 90’s onwards. Hiphop, reggae, funk and soul, new(back then) and old. This was their 2nd and introduced me to this gem in ‘98. #vinyl

The correct government response to the banning of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans would be:
"That's an operational decision of the police and we don't get involved in those. Anyone affected is welcome to bring a judicial review."
It's one unforced error after another for Starmer.

“Costs are not spiralling. Projected total welfare payments, at around 11 per cent of national income a year, are lower than when David Cameron was prime minister even though there are more pensioners.”
A much needed corrective by @chrisgiles.ft.com to the "welfare is out of control" narrative, drawing on research by my colleague @benbgeiger.bsky.social

No need for a moral panic about the welfare system
It’s far from perfect, but the UK’s spending is broadly controlled and employment is high

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽♂️

You know who doesn't integrate? People like Robert Jenrick. You think he works out at the local leisure centre? Goes to the Tuesday night pub quiz? You think his golf club lets anyone play? Or his private members' clubs let anyone in? He puts the ick in prick

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter
Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Since 1980, the ECHR has heard just 29 UK immigrant deportation case, and the UK won 16 of them. Quitting will make no material difference to immigration, just weaken protections for absolutely everybody in this country. But Farage and the Tories know that.

While 90% of media (owned by 6 billionaires) were focusing on getting teachers fired for calling Kirk a nazi… there were mass protests all over the world!
