Things to pay attention to when the next #GeneralElection comes around, whether it be 23 or 24, whoever you are. A thread...... #Election2024 #Election2023

Monet painted The Magpie when he was 28. No one knew him. He had just become a father and was living in extreme poverty. ​He presented it at the Paris Salon and they laughed at him. They told him it was unfinished.

Well done to this publican and locals for not putting up with Ryan Bridge and his Flag Shaggers ‘You’re not welcome here fuck off’, as they are summarily thrown out of the pub onto the pavement. Typically from Bridges, 'You're the problem in the country'. 😂

I just learned that Florida has a “Free Kill” law where if you die due to medical malpractice and you were 25 and older, unmarried, with no children, your family cannot sue for wrongful death. My mind is blown. I thought it was bs. I had to go look it up

My response to reforms reaction at the Kirklees council meeting lastnight.. #council #reform #kirklees

So many “Father’s Day is soon, would you like to opt out of emails?” emails being received that it kind of defeats the purpose 😭

Women are not safe even on the posters in India (Bihar here). He is licking posters of those girls and you can see little girls there. These are potential rapists who r*pe little girls first chance they get.

Learning about Brooke shields career is what radicalized me because what do you mean everyone was OK with a 10 year old being in playboy? And what do you mean she lost the case when she sued the photographer?

🧵@bradfordmdc. What the fresh bin shaming hell is this? Lived here since 2010. Bins left neatly in single file at bottom of cul-de-sac. Emptied but left all over. Now, no warning, have to be left in someone's car park space outside their home. On a single track access road.

Growing up, my boy cousins would play superheroes, then notice us girls were painting our nails & join in. One day 2 of them dressed up as princesses. My brother sometimes had me dress him as a girl, he found it as fun as any other make believe. That stopped with a quickness the second they went to school. That's how you know it's socialized. The men freaking out over this have been trained within an inch of their lives to a) view femininity as inferior & b) wrap their entire identities around NOT BEING FEMININE. Some people aren't feminine, to be fair. I'm hardly the girliest person myself. But if I could dress up as monsters from Zelda dungeons to play with my little bro, men can let their daughters do their makeup. It's seriously not a big deal & you're still a Man ™️ (Also not a big deal if a man doesn't want to, but foaming from the mouth over it screams insecure, not manly 🤷🏻‍♀️)

LOL Stephen Colbert is making his band play licensed music during his final show so CBS – who fired him – will get sued and have to pay millions "Anyone illegally using that music is gonna have to pay through the nose--" [band starts playing] "Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!"

1 in 5 children recognised with #send is not an "explosion". In the year 2000 itwas the same figure - scribd.com/document/11433… Ascribing that false claim to "finding a tribe" & somehow the shadowy terror of social media is nonsense. x.com/redditchrache/… #sen #send #ehcp

This isn’t new. We all know those schools, that tell parents they can’t meet need, that encourage pupils with SEND to go elsewhere, that make their rules unachievable and make no adaption. We also know the schools that pick up the slack and go above and beyond!

Asylum decisions have quadrupled. The asylum backlog is now down from its peak of 175,000 to 49,000 people awaiting a decision - the lowest level since 2019. More decisions mean more asylum hotel closures and more illegal migrants removed or deported.

If anybody has elderly family, and use Care Connect emergency system, please let them know there's a tele call scam going on. Caller tries to get them to pay a new rate, £39.99 mnth, or lose the service. It's a scam. Police now investigating.

High Disability Rates: Older claimants much more likely to have health barriers People aged 50 plus make up 42% of the entire UC health caseload. Claimants specifically in the 60–64 bracket, a striking 62% receive a UC health element, largely because of the rising State Pension

Years ago a crowd in Gwent attacked the house of a paediatrician because they confused that word with paedophile. We can only wonder who they went on to vote for.

Perhaps if we had to endure as many adverts on tv for “mens bulky pee pads” as we do for women, people would understand the need for bins in male toilets. (I’m sure the ads would make male incontinence sound epic though unlike women’s embarrassing oops moments 🙃)

New: Academy trust that brought in the nine-day fortnight “needs classes of 120 to allow it to continue” educationuncovered.co.uk/news/academy-t… Detailed piece on union concerns about goings-on at Dixons Academies Trust, with redundancies proposed.

Les & I were new Councillors together in 2022. I was also the Whip. We asked for copies of the Constitution before our first meeting. That same meeting, we put forward a motion together. Are Reform blaming others again because they don’t understand simple process?

What's the point of this? Nobody is ever going to improve on the David Suchet version, which managed to adapt literally *every single* Poirot story. The job is complete.
