You know what? They've started using authentic colouring on sanitary towel adverts and, as it turns out, I'd quite like the blue back.

Those mocking Polanski for tearing up about greyhounds completely miss the point.
We’ve been governed by sociopaths for 15 years who let 250,000 die from austerity and cheered & laughed their way through it all.
Finally, we have someone capable of empathy.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

Sultana is taking this line a lot and I have two worries about it: first, it trivialises a horrifying and serious situation and reduces it to a factional smear, with some infantile pleasure in using the epithet. Cf the 'besties with a nonce' line in the chamber.
Utterly moronic comment.

And so proud of the real trailblazers - like my boyfriend - who works in palliative care.
Our NHS workers, our teachers, our cleaners.
The people who keep our country running.
And LGBT+ History month matters. Representation matters.

This one I think would be really useful. We are becoming increasingly aware of Ultra Processed Food and associated problems. Customers should be given the tools to make informed choices.
This petition was rejected because it was too similar to another petition: "Add Traffic Lights for Additives & Ultra-Processed Foods to FSA Labels"

Petition: Add Traffic Lights for Additives & Ultra-Processed Foods to FSA Labels
Expand FSA food traffic lights to show: (1) presence of artificial additives such as sweeteners, preservatives, colours and flavours; (2) level of food processing using the NOVA 1–4 scale, with 4 = ultra-processed (red). This could give citizens clearer, quicker health information at a glance.

Labour’s claimed a poll from Gorton and Denton shows it’s the only party which can beat Reform UK.
But its bar chart is based on a very small sample size, and experts told us the poll can’t reliably show how support for the main parties compares.

We used to have one of those door knockers. It used to knock itself. My mother stole it from the spooky house we lived in. Years later put it on our front (side) door. It used to rip itself out the wood and continued to knock when you could see no one had walked up to it.
