“and let me leave you with this thought - the ECHR has also protected British people from abuses of power by its own government..”
On Tuesday Nigel Farage will publish his proposals for mass deportations, Prison camps, leaving the European Convention on Human Rights & scrapping the Human Rights Act, quitting the Refugee Convention and the UN Convention against Torture - is that a country we want?

A dark day for the poor, the unbefriended, the challenging to care for, and the unloved. I know this will be true from 40 years in adults social care services.
This should have had proper scrutiny through a royal commission. Poor law, bad outcomes #AssistedDyingBill

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social please tell Keir and Rachel cold older people end up in hospital. Extending WFPs to council tax and rent rebate recipients as well as those on AA/PIP, auto extends it to ‘known’ recipients who are either poor sick, frail or disabled. I agree Alan Sugar doesn’t need it!

Of 717 grooming offences recorded in 2023, some 83% of perpetrators were White, 7% Asian, 5% Black and 3% mixed race.
The Far Right doesn't want another national inquiry into the 83%. Wonder why.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

There was me hoping the ‘plan for change’ was a Robin Hood tax to lift a quarter of the population out of poverty.
