Meanwhile he claims £1,250 a month in rent on his expenses

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?
🧵
NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.

Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.

As a 3rd year midwifery student, there isn't a shortage of midwives or nurses coming through. However, many trusts have recruitment freezes on as they don't have the budget to employ them! There are 1000s of us that have been trained by the NHS, costing us £1000s then few jobs to walk into!

The argument that sexual violence is characteristic only of immigrant communities doesn’t survive contact with facts. 88% prosecuted for child sexual abuse offences in 2022 were white – slightly higher than their 83% share of the general population.

Social housing news!

The UK government has announced an important step forward in the implementation of Awaab's Law.

Once underway, this should improve standards across the social housing sector and reduce dangerous hazards in residents' homes.
