Haha 😂 This HAS to be the funniest meme I’ve ever seen!

@jonsopel Pregnant people is medically accurate, it goes some way toward including an otherwise marginalised group. We don’t tolerate homophobic or racist slurs in the sane way and it shouldn’t be considered ‘impartial’ to show people respect and dignity when referring to them

As one who proudly spent nearly his whole career at the BBC, this piece is depressingly spot on….

@JoeBangles11 James Bond - never been interested, seems overrated

What is the most famous film you've NEVER seen? Mine is Harry Potter.

In London, hate will never win.

An interesting quote from Labour’s 2024 manifesto: ‘We will remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance’ labour.org.uk/change/

@tomgordonLD The arbitrary 9.30 start is an unnecessary barrier for disabled people to get into work. I’d love to cycle or run to work, but those free options aren’t available to a lot of disabled people

📝Yesterday I submitted my petition demanding the removal of the 9:30am start time for disabled bus passes. ❌Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am & neither should disabled bus passes. 🤝Thanks to organisations supporting this campaign. Together, we’ll break down these barriers!

@OfSymbols @lewis_goodall I mean there’s loads of brilliant and incredible disability campaigners who I’d love to hear on the podcast as so far it’s mainly non-disabled people talking nonsense about cost cutting

@lewis_goodall Who’s the poorest person youve ever invited to speak on your podcast Lewis? Just obviously eye balling it, lowest income guest, do you think it’s below 50k? Below average wage or nah?

We’ve all been there

I've had enough. In this thread, I will tell you, definitively, whether Sydney Sweeney has great jeans. This way, you will be more informed when shopping for your wardrobe . 🧵

@sebastiansalek Domestic abuse survivors already didn’t need a local connection in order to qualify for social housing.

5. Better social housing access for vulnerable people Labour is scrapping the ‘local connection’ rule for care leavers under 25 and domestic abuse survivors. That means they won’t need to have a link to an area to qualify for social housing there.

Labour secured a ton of wins this week. While Middle East tensions grabbed the headlines, Labour made demonstrable progress towards building a fairer, stronger Britain. 5 eye-grabbing changes: (and this is only since Monday)

The petition has hit 27000 🎉 We need to keep going and we need to go faster. Liz Kendall is trying to be sneaky with pushing these cuts through rapidly. We need to stop her. Let's get to 100,000 signatures so we can force a debate. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7215… #TakingThePIP

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall has refused to apologise after repeatedly misleading MPs by suggesting that her planned cuts of billions of pounds to personal independence payment were linked to supporting disabled people into work. disabilitynewsservice.com/kendall-refuse…

@allyc375 @johnpringdns and the Deaths By Welfare project have been working to raise awareness of these issues

@sam_kb_ @garyseconomics If you tax the 3million millionaires in the UK 1% of their wealth it would create a minimum of £30bn which would be 6 times the amount saved by the proposed disability cuts. This also wouldn’t lead to them being forced into poverty

@garyseconomics If you taxed the 150 billionaires in the UK 100% of their wealth you would achieve a one time revenue of £182 Billion. The Govt spent 1.2 Trillion last year. It will do nothing.

Why are we taxing working people more than billionaires?

@RupertLowe10 @TheCanaryUK Who do you donate to?

@TheCanaryUK I donate my entire net MP salary every month, and have done since my election. Don't suppose you'll share that though, will you?

Zarah Sultana just SHAMED every other MP over Labour's DWP cuts "MPs getting a 2.8% pay rise is indefensible [amid] the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record". She will be donating her extra money. What about the 649 others? #WelfareNotWarfare thecanary.co/uk/analysis/20…

@TheCanaryUK @RupertLowe10 I really think the article should include which organisations he donates this to. I for one am interested to know…

@RupertLowe10 We've updated the article accordingly.

Great view in Brighton as hundreds of antifascists gather to make racists feel very unwelcome! Please come and join us, and remember: don’t speak to cops!

Currently reading The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein. @NaomiAKlein should we be concerned by further ripples from the collective shock caused by the UK race riots over the weekend?
