"one of the women—Ayeshah Behit—was denied anti-seizure medication during her arrest and told that she wouldn’t be released if she kept asking for it. Anyone who knows anything about epilepsy knows how dangerous this is."

I condemn in the strongest terms the deeply disturbing incident at the IPAS centre in Drogheda. To put vulnerable families, including young children, at risk is abhorrent and has no place in our society.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this horrifying experience.

So Lucy Powell wins deputy leader of the Labour party with ~160,000 voting. In the previous election, 2020, total votes were 460,000.
I wonder what happened to those 300,000 members?
Probably just forgot to vote. I'm sure they're still out there.

This is what passes for journalism now. Just making up facts. It was the centre-left Plaid Cymru who won, by a huge margin, stoping Reform AND Labour. The media are a thundering disgrace - incompetent, malevolent, or both.

Imagine running for President without being solid on the "is animal cruelty bad?" question
🗣️ “If a fox is being ripped limb from limb and is dying a slow and agonising death - how can you say you abhor animal cruelty?”
🗣️ “These are rural pursuits and have been for many, many years.”
