@DerrenBrown's #OnlyHuman show in Southampton last night didn't disappoint! It's been so long since I've seen him live but he's still got it! So much so I'm now re-watching all the old specials on Channel 4 😂

Supermarkets, shops, restaurants, takeaways, schools and more must be forced to accurately and obviously label meat by its slaughter method. If it’s halal, show consumers - VERY clearly. Because we are all eating halal meat without knowing it. Our labelling system is entirely deficient, unclear and misleading. Figures from DEFRA - “Of the 1.035 billion animals processed in English and Welsh slaughterhouses in 2024, an estimated 214.6 million animals (20.7%) were slaughtered to produce halal meat” Over one fifth of meat is halal - just think about that. How much halal meat are you unwittingly eating? The economics of it mean abattoirs are turning to halal, and then that meat seeps down the supply chain. It's grim. I want all non-stun slaughter banned, but failing that clear labelling is absolutely essential. If you don’t want to continue eating halal meat, then I hope you’ll support me. I have requested a meeting with the minister to discuss, alongside two Conservative MPs (@PeterABedford and @AndrewRosindell). I refuse to eat halal meat. Let’s get the labelling laws changed.

So, "Covid Day of Reflection" is apparently a thing. Remember the masks. Remember how, if you were sitting at a table in a restaurant, you didn’t need one—but if you stood up to go to the toilet, you did? Remember when they locked elderly people in care homes and said their families couldn’t visit them? Remember how authoritarian some people got? Remember how it ripped families and friendships apart? Remember when they made women give birth, go through miscarriages, and experience stillbirths alone? Remember when they closed the parks and locked up children's play equipment? Remember the BLM protests being allowed to happen? Remember when they closed schools and canceled exams? Remember the "bubbles"? Remember when we were only allowed outside to exercise for one hour a day? Remember clapping for the NHS? Remember the dancing nurses? Remember when they banned Christmas? Remember when they said weddings could only have two guests—and the same for funerals? Remember not being allowed to question anything without being called a "conspiracy theorist," "covidiot," "far-right," "vaccine denier," "granny killer," etc.? Remember the Queen sitting alone at her husband’s funeral? Remember when they said we had to stand six feet apart and even put stickers on the floor to remind us? Remember when the vaccine came along, and "my body, my choice" got thrown out the window? Remember when a whole bunch of people went on furlough, but the ones who kept the country running—the shop workers, delivery drivers, bin collectors, etc.—didn’t? And we all got to see that? Remember getting chased around Central London by riot police just for exercising your freedoms? Maybe that one’s personal. Anyway, I could go on. And please, add your own if you want. That whole period seems so long ago, yet it also feels like yesterday. I know some people aren’t ready for this conversation, and some will completely disagree with me. But you can’t deny that it had a huge effect on us—both socially and individually. At some point, we need to have that conversation. And please, please, please—I am not, and have never been, saying that Covid wasn’t real. Obviously, it was real. People did die. People did get sick. I got sick. What I am saying—and what I’ve always said—is that lockdown and all the other stuff that came with it was absolutely unnecessary bullshit. And it did more harm than good.

Afghan women are as deserving of respect, autonomy and dignity as every other woman in the world. The lack of meaningful reprisals for the flagrant human rights abuses visited upon Afghan women by the Taliban shames the international community.

@DAaronovitch I felt the same, was too easy for her to say yes and not true to character.

At the end of Gavin and Stacey I found I wanted Nessa to stick to her decision to go off sailing and not indulge our saccharine desires by marrying the erratic Smithy. Am I a bad person?

Still waiting for Mick Carter to come back and save Linda from herself - they never found his body! Or is @MrDDyer still sunning himself in the Caribbean? #EastEnders

All 51 men have been convicted of raping Gisele Pelicot She heroically fought for this while her husband & each of these rapists felt sorry for themselves We deal with the symptoms but ignore the sexism & misogyny that causes it Today is Gisele’s day

What’s your go-to micro feminism? I’ll go first. Mine is asking men to explain their sexist jokes to me.

@RMCunliffe Lots of terrible changes mentioned, not yet seen a nod to the bizarre decision to force everyone to go outside in all weathers to access the underground unless you are lucky enough to arrive on 8-11

I would genuinely read a 5,000 word essay on what happened to Euston station, who made the decision to actively make it more unsafe and impossible to navigate, for no actual benefit (except possibly as a psy-op to encourage the use of other stations)
