@Frances_Coppola @0Calamity @Abouterf197543 @marksandspencer @SexMattersOrg It’s hardly harassment, is it?

@Abouterf197543 @marksandspencer @SexMattersOrg Fully enclosed, lockable individual gender-neutral l cubicles comply with the law. If you close and lock the door of a gender-neutral cubicle, you aren't "changing in front of a man". That young man did not have to tolerate your harrassment of him. I'm glad he kicked you out.

Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store. @SexMattersOrg

@MothinAli Nobody believes that you are the party of the working class. You have no roots in working class organisations, no knowledge of working class life & culture. Stop pretending.

The Greens are the party of the working class. We are not here to play tag along to Starmerism with a northern accent.

@MatthewStadlen @pottobaggie @ZiaYusufUK @ZenMezzer @Nigel_Farage Rats in a sack. Grifting, dishonest, hateful bastards, the lot of ‘em.

@ZiaYusufUK @ZenMezzer Chaos in Reform. @Nigel_Farage was clear after the local elections - don’t fall out in public. And would you believe it? It’s already happening in the “top” team. Oh dear, oh dear.

Robert’s answer is not Reform policy. As the person responsible for our deportation plan I want ensure people know where we stand: If a foreign national lives in social housing at taxpayer expense, they automatically fail our economic test and will be deported.

@Mikey1732 Cos it’s true you fucking wally

Brexit is the best thing that has ever happened to this country. I wanted out of the EU years before the referendum. Remainers say that it’s been a disaster. Well they would say that wouldn’t they

So the planet is on fire and the BBC talks about ‘milestones’ and does vox pops with people who think it’s all wonderful. Shockingly bad reporting @BBCNews

@roisinmurphy I think it’s really worth reading the whole trilogy. Gormenghast is book 2, and by the time you get there you won’t want to put it down!

I bought this ace drawing by Mervin Peake years ago. Has anyone read Gormenghast? Any good?

@PGrundberge @BaldBaggie @SlatePaul Ar. Just a nipper, relatively speaking

@PeterBone1 @BaldBaggie @SlatePaul Baldage Baggie is considerably younger than us

Len Cantello 💙🤍

@BaldBaggie @PGrundberge @SlatePaul He’s in the top twenty, probably.

@PeterBone1 @PGrundberge @SlatePaul The correct answer is Richard Sneekes

A whole month to think up a story and this was what they came up with? Is this the political equivalent of the dog eat my homework. Firstly, it doesn’t change the facts of the matter as Farage still hasn’t explained what the money is for and what he did with it. 🧵1/5

@PGrundberge @SlatePaul Johnny Kaye. Was a great centre forward, made way for Jeff Astle, and became an even better centre-back.

@SlatePaul Jeff Astle because I am considerably older than yo.

If my boys grow up to be like Jo and Kush from Race Across the World we will have done something right. They’re a brilliant antidote to Tate-style toxic masculinity: bright, kind, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, grounded, and culturally aware. PROPER role models for boys.

@spikeoss666 Sorry for your loss. Take care, and best wishes to you and your family.

@danny__kruger Your attempt to bully the civil servants’ unions with threats will not succeed. We are many, you are few.

Tomorrow the PCS civil servants’ union is debating a motion to ‘counter a hostile Reform government’ with ‘sustained industrial action’: they are planning to go on strike if we win. This is Reform’s response. Any civil servant who seeks to undermine ministerial authority and the impartiality of the Civil Service through unlawful strike action will no longer have a job to return to. The Civil Service exists to implement the will of the government of the day. Its staff must do what duly-elected ministers ask them to do, within the law - or leave. By publicly confirming the reason for future industrial action as opposition to a specific ‘hostile’ government, the PCS have ensured their strikes cannot be considered a ‘trade dispute’ and would be unprotected and unlawful. Under section 12.1.21 of the CSMC, no appeals to the Civil Service Appeal Board will be possible in this situation. As the Shadow Home Secretary already set out, pension entitlements and any entitlement to redundancy pay may also be lost. Those who do choose to strike because, like the PCS, they disagree with the democratic decision of the British people are not only taking part in unlawful industrial action but are also in breach of the Terms & Conditions of their employment, specifically section 4.1.3 (b) of the Civil Service Management Code (CSMC): “civil servants must not take part in any political or public activity which compromises, or might be seen to compromise, their impartial service to the Government of the day or any future Government”. The fact is under a Reform UK government the Civil Service will be a much better workplace than it is today. Our plans will deliver a smaller and more highly skilled Civil Service where good work is rewarded and officials are able to make a real difference to people’s lives. A union that prioritised its own members would recognise that our agenda will be the most pro-worker in recent political history. We’re happy to work with any fair-minded trade union to develop policies to support workers. But, if the PCS don’t wish to engage reasonably they should know that we will turn their anti-democratic motion into a resounding win for a Reform UK government, the taxpayer, and the British people.

@MaeveHalligan Brilliant speech.

"No, I don't subscribe to this 'kindness' - I'll tell the truth instead." I spoke at the Cambridge Union last night about LGBs, children's safety and women's rights. Full video here:

@PGrundberge Haha. Scotland were brilliant that day. Revie’s England crap as always. That ball from Asa to Wullie to set up the second goal. Marvellous. Breaking the crossbar. Not so marvellous.

A great display. Willie Johnston unplayable on the left wing, something we were used to every week. No need to demolish Wembley as its consequence - the new expensive one is fucking shite.

@SaintsExtra @EyaWeGew @sfcawaynumbers Oh dear….. Tbh, the punishment does seem a bit OTT.

🚨🎟️ Southampton’s 37,604 ticket allocation for Saturday’s Championship play-off final at Wembley is now SOLD OUT #saintsfc @sfcawaynumbers

@hoffman_noa And Farridge would never put personal ambition above the needs of the nation. Oh no, never.

EXCL: Reform will launch its attack ad blitz on Andy Burnham today. I can exclusively reveal the first set of ads the party will plaster across social media. The graphics attempt to paint Burnham as a career opportunist putting personal ambitions above the people of Makerfield. Here they are 👇

@dave43law @alexwickham Brexiters losing their minds over the issue again. Burnham is right to say now is not the time to reopen that argument, there are other, more pressing issues. That said, it’s vital that he follows through on his commitment to electoral reform, imho.

@alexwickham Not exactly a flip - can be a long term aim but currently is not the time

BREAKING: Andy Burnham u-turns on his desire to rejoin the EU “I am not proposing rejoining the EU” “I respect the decision that was made at the referendum” “The last thing we should do now is re-run those arguments” Flips his view from just 7 months ago when he backed rejoin

@RafeNotRalph @nazirafzal Who cares? Why is it so important to you to split hairs over the issue?

@PeterBone1 @nazirafzal Do the English exist as an ethnic group?

I’ve never heard of #AaronRai but I’m delighted that this West Midlands born man has won the PGA Something to be really proud of The amount of abuse he’s getting online for being called an “Englishman” is a disgrace Those wanting to deport him should know he lives in the US

@RafeNotRalph @nazirafzal West Midlands born. Like me. Sounds pretty English to me.

@nazirafzal So he’s not ethnically English nor does he live in England? Doesn’t sound very English to me.
