@RachelReevesMP It’s ALL ON YOU

@RowennaDavis Good luck finding a place to rent , when your wage won’t cover a mortgage Labour just made you homeless And celebrated it

A BIG day for renters 💪

@Keir_Starmer Now the Muslim brotherhood have gone to the Greens Maybe you should do the same

How dare you. I grew up in Telford and was sexually abused for over a decade under a Labour council. Countless little girls like me were failed by Labour politicians like you. If you want to know how Labour REALLY treats abuse survivors, here’s my story: As many other girls in Telford have also testified, I was made to feel as though I was to blame. The system criminalised the victims, rather than going after the perpetrators. I remember being asked by a detective whether I “consented” at any point to sexual activity, and told by a social worker that “my actions had led me to where I was today”. All the while, the Labour-led council tried to block an independent inquiry into CSE for years and their Council Leader (now the MP for Telford), along with 10 other powerful local men, even wrote a letter to the Home Secretary saying they felt an inquiry would unnecessary. Little girls in Telford were branded child prostitutes and p*ki shaggers… …by West Mercia Police and local Labour councillors, no less. In Rotherham, Rochdale, Banbury and elsewhere — all Labour-led areas — victims were continually swept aside by those in positions of power, as if they chose this lifestyle. The attitudes that social workers, local services, authorities had towards children was so skewed, and so deeply unprofessional. My abuse continued for years, at the hands of multiple different men throughout my childhood and teen years. Eventually, I confided in a social worker and filed a police report detailing the years of abuse that I had experienced. And my case, like 96.5 per cent of all sex crime cases in the UK, never resulted in prosecution. I was told that there was an unrealistic prospect of conviction against any of my abusers, due to the historic nature of my case. I spent years in silence because I thought I would somehow be judged or penalised for the abuse I had suffered. Because I had been conditioned to feel like I was somehow responsible for my own victimisation. The Telford scandal made headlines when it broke in 2015, then again when the Crowther Report was released in 2022. Yet, the news cycle moved on. And Labour tried their best to ignore it. You voted against a national enquiry into CSE. You gutted the local enquires model. You promoted key figures in the scandal to MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. You called victims “far-Right bandwagon jumpers” and grooming gangs a “dog whistle.” You failed. Deliberately. On every level. These are not crimes of the past. Kids are still being exploited, groomed, raped and even murdered in Labour-led areas like mine. It isn’t enough to have empty words and hollow promises. I even went on national TV to discuss Pakistani grooming gangs in Telford and the continued risk of abuse faced by little girls in my hometown. The next day, officers banged on my door, demanding I speak to them about my interview. They ignored victims for decades, but tried to intimidate me for speaking about their failings on live TV. CSE is a national epidemic. But Labour continues to treat it like a localised issue, choosing to believe that the extent of the abuse is contained to a few bad towns and pockets of bad apples. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Politicians like you, Bridget, refuse to address that fact for fear of being forced to confront your decades-long failure to protect young girls from abuse. It’s easier to ignore victims, especially when they come from communities, social classes or demographics that are already disenfranchised in Britain. And for those who do speak out, it feels like you are screaming at a brick wall that would rather label you as the problem than take you seriously. It was Labour councils. Labour politicians. Labour police forces. Labour MPs. You all knew. You were all complicit. How DARE you pretend to care about us now. You are a disgrace, Bridget.

The day of reckoning for the Labour Party is almost here. Lets Get Starmer OUT. Vote Reform UK on 7the May 🩵❣️🇬🇧

@Neccccy @elayne706 We are fked She will tax EVERYTHING to the hilt

🚨 Rumours in Westminster growing that Angela Rayner is going to take over from Rachel Reeves as chancellor of the exchequer in May!!! Thoughts ???

The vast majority of businesses that employ people in the U.K. are sole traders plumbers, kitchen ,bathroom fitters , joiners , builders drivers who employ the young kids as apprentices to teach them a trade, but mainly as “help on the job” millions in the U.K. If it costs the same as employing a plumber who’s in his 40’s fully experienced in the trade as an apprentice Who would you employ ?

@julianHjessop @Fudds13 Why do you think it's ok for businesses to pay people so little that the rest of us have to subsidise their business by paying their underpaid staff benefits?

Can anybody in the Green Party see the problem with adding at least 18% to the minimum cost of employing an adult and at least 38% to the minimum cost of employing an 18 to 20-year-old? In just one year? Anybody?? 🤔 ft.com/content/431a16…

@julianHjessop @NickMillward Who’s going to employ an 18 year old who’s has no experience when it costs the same as a 30 year old who’s been doing the job for 10 years Mass youth unemployment and welfare bills seeing hundreds of thousands of 20 to 25 year olds who have never had a job

@bbcmtd Wow how convenient for Labour that the deal is done after 18 months falls when Labours Birmingham council are about to be removed Utter bollox the council is bankrupt Bankrupted by a pathetic Labour council

Bin strike deal 'gets done when it gets done'. Labour MP Jess Phillips has been speaking to BBC Radio WM about the 14-month dispute by bin workers in Birmingham ahead of next week's local elections.

@ZiaYusufUK brilliant as ever on BBCQT, despite constant barracking (and smearing) from Fiona Bruce. You (and Reform) will have the last laugh on May 7th. Thank you so much Zia for standing up for us. You are simply awesome! 👌

Terror threat level raised to severe. The UK borders:

My parents’ neighbour is 28 and pretending to be ill to claim PIP. The people opposite have 2 mobility cars (one for their son) and have never worked. Anxiety but they're out every weekend and went on 2 hols abroad last yr. But my father-after 50 ys of paying tax-is the problem.

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, and given six months to a year to live. I spent the past two years, trying numerous forms of treatment; radiation, chemo, a couple different kinds of targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy, and surgeries. I, also kept power over my health where I could do so. I fired my first oncologist who didn’t include me in the decision making. She basically viewed me as The Walking Dead. I found an oncologist who thought outside of the box and completely believed in my power to fight. I didn’t stop working out. I cut sugar from my diet (Keto), And I turned my worries to God. My body is bruised and beaten but my oncologist has informed me today that my latest CT-Scan with contrast, shows no active cancer. I’m not ringing any bell; I know the likelihood of reoccurrence is a strong probability. Yet, this is a major triumph that I want to share with my many friends on here who supported me. I appreciate all of your prayers and love. 🤍🙏🏼🤍

@NationCymru Not really bothered about wales are they

More than 100 Senedd election candidates have signed a ‘Pledge for Palestine’, backing calls for a boycott, divestment and sanctions on Israel wp.me/p8Mk4U-1kmj

@Plaid_Cymru @RhunapIorwerth Plaid just Labour in different clothes Wales need a change Wales needs reform to get it

Over recent weeks and months, we’ve knocked thousands of doors and voters in all parts of Wales are saying the same thing: Labour’s time is up, Wales needs a fresh start. For positive change, to stop Reform, and for new leadership for Wales, vote Plaid Cymru on May 7 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Open borders Plaid punishes its representatives who raise concerns about immigration. Says all you need to know.

@SaarNil72 @AdoreAppys The Green Party will have a Muslim leader GUARANTEED within 12 months

My prediction Mothin Ali is just sat patiently biding his time, waiting for Dave to make a big mistake and then he will swoop in as leader once Zak is ousted Bingo A brand new, ready to go Islam Party with over 200k members and 5 MP’s Then the real danger will escalate

Three men have been jailed for three years each after stealing underground cables worth £50,000, causing phone and broadband outages for thousands of people in Birmingham. Marian Agarlita, 37, from the Isle of Wight, and Sorin Condrache, 45, and Aldafin Poenaru, 49, both of Smethwick, admitted theft at Birmingham Crown Court. They were arrested at the scene in the city centre after alarms were triggered. The theft affected around 5,000 customers and caused significant repair costs. One man initially refused to leave the underground chamber. West Midlands Police described the group as skilled and organised.

From today, over 6,000 renters in Hitchin will have stronger rights and protections as a result of Labour’s renters rights act 🏡 Including: ❌ No more no-fault evictions 💸 Limits on rent increases 💰 Ending bidding wars 🐾 Easier to have pets And much more!

Imagine your loved one shot dead. Now imagine a councillor standing with the suspects. Well that’s what a Reform councillor actually did.
