So it's now 5 who recognise the experience and commitment of Jess Phillips, verses 5 who wants her out - a group which includes at least 1 which is working with Reform.
This is now nothing more than Reform trying to destroy the inquiry and undermine the Labour government.

They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”.

Oh look who Farage appointed! This man wants to CONTROL, not protect women. He is linked to the extremist America zealots ‘Alliance Defending Freedom’ (who overturned Roe) and this is his latest little performance especially for them www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

"a movement led by a man who has the attention span of a goldfish on a Red Bull drip and the institutional comprehension of a particularly slow scatter cushion."
In the UK, our king mostly opens garden shows and waves at things.
In the US, an orange man is trying to crown himself.
This weekend, seven million people reminded him that he’s not special.

What the “No Kings” marches taught us: the antidote to tyranny isn’t fury - it’s laughter, clipboards and muscular decency (and there's probably a Gantt chart somewhere).

Report by joint intelligence committee delayed, with concerns expressed that it may not be published

Today a reporter asked the orange felon if he knew that 4 US troops recently died in Lithuania and he said he didn’t know.
But he surely knew that a building in Colorado displayed a picture of him that he hated and spent an entire day posting about it on social media.
Asshole.
