I’m not going to agree with Andy Burnham on everything, but this statement needed to be said by a Prime Minister. After the Conservatives suppressed the truth for years, this took courage.

A curfew on girls does not make society safer. It merely forces women to carry the burden of male behaviour. If anyone needs to be home by 8 pm, perhaps it’s the gender making the streets unsafe.

Perhaps as a first step, Andy Burnham's government could release the full, unredacted Intelligence & Security Committee Russia Report that Boris Johnson tried so very hard to suppress?

The UK will set up a new centre to "stem the poisonous tide" of hostile state attacks, including Russian disinformation, PM Andy Burnham has said in his first major international speech at the UN General Assembly. Read more: bbc.in/3ThokSO

housing benefit goes to multi-millionaire and billionaire landlords who donate to all the main parties. Universal Credit subsidises the wages of billionaire companies who... Well you already know, donate to the main parties. The scam is well known and continues because the richest end up with most of the money. That is the point of it.

Most housing benefit goes to private landlords. A big chunk of universal credit subsidises underpayed workers. The so-called welfare bill could be seriously reduced by fixing these underlying issues, not cutting actual welfare.

Palantir should not be operating in the UK, and they should certainly not be allowed to hire Lord Tom Watson who has privileged access to sensitive information. It shouldn't even be a question, Tom Watson should be removed from the Lords today.

@Airport_FRA Just to say it was worse today, far worse. Witnessed incredibly rude behaviour from one of your staff. Today I happened to ask about the need for pre registration on a return journey & was told ´not doing that today’ 🤷‍♀️ well how about a sign or announcement? Absolute shambles

@Airport_FRA terrible experience for connecting flight with EES system today. Staff at new pre reg terminals too busy chatting to themselves. No signage, no queue management, no information. Absolute chaos! Avoid this airport, others tell me it is always like this

The sheer level of incompetence @Airport_FRA with the EES is insane. No clarity, no direction. Employees that speak unintelligible English.

@Airport_FRA I’m sorry, but it needs some action on your part to resolve the situation where non EU arrivals cannot be processed sufficiently quickly. It is unreasonable for a major international airport to force passengers to miss connecting flights.

@Airport_FRA @_Khun_Don @bpol_air_fra That’s such a cop out. You literally need to work together. The problem is not the passport control desks, it’s the ‘management’ of the queues leading up to them. Staff (red vests) are ill informed & often rude. How about some signage or announcements? Short transfer assistance?

@Airport_FRA Having been standing in a non-moving queue at immigration for the past hour I’m not surprised people are skipping #Frankfurtairport. It’s horrible. I’ll do everything I can to avoid it in future too.

@Airport_FRA what is going on with your staff? telling people they’re missing flights with no empathy whatsoever and frankly being incredibly rude and u helpful, making an already stressful experience 10x worse.

Powerful and utterly upsetting. Today in the Irish Examiner. 800 items NOT allowed into Gaza and it's only half the actual list. 4 standout for me: - Toys - Crutches - Babies nappies - Cancer medication Israel PREVENTS the very basics of life

Remember this Piddington woman who spoke to Newsnight about concerns of being “othered” by locals, due to having a black husband and mixed race kids? Well, one of her neighbours gave her address to the far right. Then the Pink Ladies and Tommy Robinson doxxed her.

Tonight, a group of 15-year-olds went to Tenpin Bowling in Dewsbury. While they were there, they saw a homeless man outside in the cold and rain. They did not ignore him. They approached him, gave him food and took the time to listen. After learning that he had been homeless for four days following a bereavement and relationship breakdown, they found my contact details and called us for help. At 11.33pm, our team is now with him and helping him into safe accommodation. Most importantly, thank you to these teenagers. At just 15 years old, they showed compassion, love and understanding when many others may have simply walked past. This is what community looks like. #Community

Lords don’t even declare how much they’re paid. And he’ll sign an NDA on joining Palantir that lasts for life. It is completely incompatible with having any role in parliament. @tom_watson, I really thought you had integrity. If you have any shred left, you should step down voluntarily

Everyone asks "how do we afford PIP?" Nobody asks "why does disability cost so much?" A grab rail: £8 at Screwfix. £85 through a mobility company. Adapted cutlery: £12 to manufacture. £35 in the catalogue. A shower seat: £15 plastic stool. £90 as a "shower aid." A postural chair: £200 to build. £800 with "disability" on the label. Disability costs more because the market CHARGES more. Not because it COSTS more. The word "adapted" on the box adds 300-500% to the price. PIP exists to cover the "extra cost of disability." But the extra cost is ARTIFICIAL. Created by manufacturers who know you NEED the product and price accordingly. Fix the price. Sell aids at cost. Remove the markup. Remove the VAT. Remove the glossy catalogue and the sales rep's commission. The "extra cost of disability" drops by 60-80%. PIP spending falls. Without cutting a single person's support. Helen Whately has posted thirteen times asking how to cut PIP. She has never once asked why disability products cost five times what they should. builduk.club disability charter. Fix the price. Not the person.
