Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

As MPs we are concerned about the manner of the policing and the apparent denial of civil liberties at a recent Gaza protest.
We write to the Home Secretary seeking an independent investigation into the policing of the protest and review of public order legislation.

Have deleted the apps for Insta and Facebook. Don't feel like using them much now, but frustrating as they're good places to share info with friends.
Keeping WhatsApp for now, but, it's worrying that the main ways people keep in contact are controlled by one single company.

Apparently the dog has given up on trying to shove the children off 'his' sofa and has tried a sneakier tactic. Daughter has just shouted "Muuuuum the dog has just sniffed my bum!" As she ran across the living room to sit with her dad instead.
