@BelindadeLucy @Spring68 Can't believe you are defending a lying, entitled, enabled narcissist !

Whether you like Boris or not the way in which a man who won an 80 seat majority has been forced out is an appalling stain on democracy. Shame on the privilege committee and all the snakes involved in the anti-democratic witch hunt against a British PM.

@AngelaRayner The fact that he stated he received Raab's resignation 'with great sadness' implies he is complicit in the bullying !

Rishi Sunak was personally warned about Dominic Raab’s conduct but showed appalling judgment in choosing to appoint him. Rather than showing leadership, the PM has proven himself too weak to give his Deputy his marching orders. He’s failing to deliver the integrity he promised.

National CSPR Panel has shared two short films ‘For Baby’s Sake’ and ‘Is my behaviour abusive?’ illustrating a whole family response to domestic abuse. In both films, parents share their stories: Is my behaviour abusive? - YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=KojOZT…

We are looking to recruit two full time #fundraisers, a Trust #Fundraiser and a Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, these #fundraising roles will be pivotal to the next phase of our development as an innovative and evidence-based charity forbabyssake.org.uk/news/2023/03/2…

Blackpool MP Scott Benton under investigation by parliamentary watchdog lancs.live/news/lancashir… Scott Benton breaking yet more rules 🤦🏽‍♂️ Blackpool is in need of a by-election ASAP! We need someone honest, hardworking with integrity to represent our town nationally.
