And not a turnip in sight.

Just your reminder that medieval food far from being bland could be full of flavour (if you had the dosh).

This is now literally the lead story on BBC News Scotland. The employment situation of a private individual harassed via lawfare is deemed the main headline for national news. This is genuinely sickening. The media is a cancer upon this country.

“I’m really worried for my friends and neighbours who are immigrants, or the children of immigrants, who’ve kept our city region moving.”

Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”.

Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.

Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

Asked to describe where the ‘tiny pockets of poverty’ in the UK might be found, Yusuf starts talking about tax funds being wasted on education in Wales. That kind of non-sequitur doesn’t sound very fiscally prudent to me - or intellectually cogent. Bullshitter.
Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are.

Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated.

A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

Headlines still refer to #Epstein related offending as “sex trafficking”. Sex implies consent. There is none. This is “rape trafficking” — coercion, violence and abuse of vulnerable people. The choice of words should reflect the reality of the harm inflicted. Be the difference and start the change.🙏

She *thinks* she's bothsidesing it in public, but still gives away that she thinks trans people are only OK if they "stay under the radar", and also that telling kids that many trans people "pass" is misleading them??

More of this please!

It really shouldn't be rare to hear humanity and empathy in politics.
“If you’ve lived in Greater Manchester all your life like I have, or you came here yesterday — if you’re part of our community and you’re mucking in, you’re one of us.”

Mandatory ID cards. Scrapping jury trials. Calling genocide protesters “terrorists."

There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton.

It's Greens Vs Reform.
