@Sandra55 2 Sat & stared blankly at it. Was about to click out & it came to me

Wordle 1,735 3/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 that took some thinking about

@SarahCholwill Looks so good, do nesting birds use it?

Forsythia makes a lovely hedge I think.

@SandyofSuffolk A business opportunity for the family, learn to make chicken nuggets to the child's preference, introduce the to his home country, make a great deal of money.

In today's edition of "Which foreigner are we paying to keep here?" is the criminal who can't be deported because his kid doesn't like chicken nuggets in his home country. 🙄😠

I'm drafting a series of profiles on the politicians involved in the Pakistani rape gang cover up. I thought I'd start with Jess Phillips. Jess Phillips Jess Phillips became MP for Birmingham Yardley in 2015. That same year, West Midlands Police had a confidential profile sitting in a file identifying 700 children at risk of sexual exploitation in her city. She did not just hold a Birmingham seat. In opposition she held the shadow safeguarding brief. When Labour won the election she was appointed Safeguarding Minister on day one. The portfolio she had spent years preparing for in opposition became hers in government the moment the votes were counted. She was the shadow minister for the exact problem she was doing nothing about. In Parliament she said she would be lying if she denied that over the years, girls had told her police were part of not just the cover-up but the perpetration of abuse in Birmingham. Read that again. The Minister for Safeguarding Girls. A Birmingham MP since 2015. Shadow minister for safeguarding throughout the years of opposition. Victims coming to her with allegations of police involvement in rape gang abuse across her own city. When Labour took power she did not call a national inquiry. She tried to help bury one. After being exposed for blocking a public inquiry in Oldham, she offered councils a £5 million fund to investigate themselves. The same councils that had presided over the abuse. Marking their own homework. She was forced into a U-turn in June 2025 and a statutory inquiry was announced. Within weeks survivors on the panel began resigning. They said the scope was being quietly widened away from grooming gangs and toward general child sexual abuse. Phillips told Parliament their claims were categorically untrue. Evidence then emerged that they were telling the truth. Five survivors made her resignation a condition of their return to the panel. Both prospective chairs withdrew. The inquiry she had spent a decade in position to lead was described by a survivor as feeling like a cover-up, scripted and predetermined. The girls who came to her as victims did not get a decade to prepare. They did not get a U-turn when the pressure mounted. They got told their accounts were untrue by the woman whose job title said she was there to protect them. Perhaps @jessphillips would like to comment on the accuracy of the draft? Let me know if you want anything else added. _________ I’m Raja Miah MBE. For seven years, I led a campaign that exposed how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs. The people of my town helped force the national inquiry. You won’t see me on the BBC. You won’t read my work in the legacy press. That’s not an accident. I take this to a place from where there is no coming back. Children were sold for votes. My work is free. No paywalls. No gatekeeping. No exclusions. The truth shouldn’t belong only to those who can afford it. If you can afford to do so, supporting me costs as little as 75p a week (£30 a year).

You can support me using one of these links; 👉 BuyMeACoffee.com/recusantnine 👉 paypal.me/RecusantNine We’re up against a machine, politicians, police, officials, and media, working together to shrink, sanitise, and bury the truth. This work survives because of you. If you’ve ever shared my posts, learned something, or felt less alone reading them, stand with me. I need your help. Raja 🙏

@tonyofsidcup @CharlieJSDavis In my years as a resident of RBG, I've had to call on my local councillors, both the ward I live in & the ward that covers our local park for which I was chair & now treasurer. I can state every issue I have raised has been worked on, followed up in the best of constituency work

@CharlieJSDavis Limit questions...to 100 words. No details on the alleged "stopping of scrutiny". I am no fan of Mr Okereke, but mendacious Greenwich Tories - with a very thin record of actual constituency work - are not the answer.

Yesterday at the Town Hall, Labour councillors backed their weak local leadership to try and curtail democracy in our borough. They voted to limit questions, stop scrutiny and defund opposition. On May 7th send them a message and vote them out.

Why can we not comment?

@LizKershawDJ @Olgachristie It almost feels as if the establishment WANT women to live in fear

This is the pits...Just heard that in Headingley Leeds, in one of the leafiest, quietest most desirable residential avenues in the city, a hall of residence, adjacent to a convent and right in the heart of an area that houses thousands of young female students living away from home, is to house 250 single male migrants. Is nowhere safe?! change.org/p/stop-uncheck…

@Jas_Athwal @Keir_Starmer Did anyone talk about the white, British people?

An absolute pleasure meeting with @Keir_Starmer alongside colleagues from Black Asian & Minority Ethnic PLP to discuss issues that matter to our communities.

@benonwine Yes

Should police use force to remove climate protesters blocking roads?

@TheBritishIntel @englandislost @FindoutnowUK It horrifies me that Polanski has such a following.

🚨🇬🇧 MOST PREFERRED CHOICE FOR PRIME MINISTER Nigel Farage: 26% Zack Polanski: 21% Keir Starmer: 16% Kemi Badenoch: 14% Rupert Lowe: 13% Ed Davey: 9% Who would you choose? [@FindoutnowUK ]

@antmiddleton Never have, never will

🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

@KemiBadenoch @louie_french @Conservatives Lifelong Conservative voter. Cancelled membership. Never again, all trust has gone.

Conservatives are on the side of hard working people. On the side of people who contribute to making our country great. On the side of people who want to get on. The Conservative party are on your side. So on May 7th, vote Conservative and get Britain working again.

@KemiBadenoch That ship has sailed

The Conservative Party is BACK! It’s time to get Britain working again.

@mrs_ayst @CharlotteCGill Very much local, animal shelter, local hospice, community organisations. Tell me of someone struggling- I'll try to help.

@CharlotteCGill I have boycotted this rubbish for years. Children in Need too. Always support your local groups with direct help, sometimes its not money they need. It's your time, it's a cup of tea and a chat, its help with nappies for a struggling family, or a few tins of dog food. Be there.

Comic Relief awarded: £340,000 to Bail for Immigration Detainees £200,000 to Detention Action and £2,254,267 to Refugee Action, which provides "activist packs" on its website. Is it time the British public boycotted Red Nose Day? charlottecgill.co.uk/p/comic-relief…

@AvonandsomerRob Like many of us from working class background, owning your own property outright was the big ambition. It's hard to think of not handing it on to your children

Is owning your home outright above the age of 65 just a tax liability waiting to happen? The government want your money. Wouldn't you be better releasing 50% of the equity for a luxury retirement?

@dave43law We were never asked if we wanted to be “diverse” Most of us don’t

This is the UK we know and love and most of us were raised in.

@stargazeruk7 We need about 600 cages
