Good. This scheme should be as generous as possible. Let young people have the times of their fucking lives.
🔴 BREAKING: "European youngsters will be able to move to the UK for more than a year under a youth mobility scheme, the minister in charge of Britain’s relationship with the EU has indicated."
This is excellent news for young Brits going to Europe too.

'The Supreme Court judgement was purely about positions on boards it wasn't actually talking about sport or toilets'.
What?
There is a whole section in the judgement about sport.
@sarahowen.org.uk does not know what she is talking about & she chaired a session discussing the SC ruling.
Appalling.

Just nine food trucks have been *permitted* to enter Gaza to feed thousands of starving Palestinians, with more on the way. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to rain bombs down on those same people. Aid trucks aren't bomb-proof. Make it make sense. youtu.be/JyLnbjtBLX4?...
