they’ll sell off the care homes and get a one of payment of a few mill
The residents will no doubt be put in private homes
At 2-3 times the price of the council run homes
And no doubt some of the money will make its way to the councillor for social care
Who- oddly enough - owns private care homes

I hope the BBC will challenge Nigel Farage today over the economic damage caused by the Brexit he championed.
He needs to be held to account for the damage he's done instead of always being given an easy ride.

Thanks to everyone who came, and everyone who was part of making it happen!
We will keep resisting Trump – and the politics of Trumpism internationally.

1/2 Rayner: imho her solicitor does bear some responsibility. It’s clear from the Ethics Advisor letter that Rayner had been informed TWICE in writing that she probably would only have to pay the lower amount of Stamp Duty.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I have 2 children. My son has one child and has decided not to have any more because of financial reasons. My daughter doesn’t want children. It’s heartbreaking 💔 but I love my daughter more than I want to hold her child.

!["I'll take Nigel Farage's position on violence on women and girls seriously when he and his MPs no longer vote against legislation to tackle stalking, to tackle harassment, to tackle upskirting, to tackle spiking of drinks, [and] posting personal photos of women without their consent online. When he takes seriously the online safety of young people and votes to make sure they cannot get material on suicide, self harm, eating disorders or pornography. He has voted against all such legislation in parliament.
So the idea he has a track record to be proud of is profoundly mistaken, and the same goes for every single Reform MP.
They voted against that legislation." Barry Gardiner MP](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xinct4q525cyr2nmlwks5pod/bafkreih7gsiqbwpaugkvgk6o22e2mstapvhr56cal77zrc45qm4bwzlphi@jpeg)

This is all just magnificent. I would use up my superlatives on the Badenoch piece but then I’d have none left for the bit about online ‘pile-ons’. Well worth a subscription.
