Takes a camcorder to a hotel housing asylum seekers & films himself saying they could be Isis fighters. But it’s nothing to do with him when people set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers…

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

If you’re in or around Edinburgh this weekend. Come along to the event of the year! There is an auction to win World No.1 Ali Farag’s signed match worn shirt. Send me a direct message with your bid. Current highest bid £105. Entries Close Sat 22nd eventbrite.com/e/lisas-gift-r…

We've never needed your help more. Please follow, retweet, and help make sure we don't endure any further destruction to our NHS after 4th July. 🙏 #GeneralElection

Everything they are doing to the NHS, they did to British Rail: * Underfunded it * Exhausted the service * Got the public angry * Then said privatisation is the solution Please RT if you can see what is going on

Jess Phillips is extraordinary. The amendment tabled by @jessphillips and @wendychambLD means those *arrested* for a violent/ sexual offence will be banned from parliament, rather than when charged. The fact it won by only one vote is utterly galling but they did it 💪🏼

Junior doctors start their careers on £32,398. There is not a single Conservative MP who would be prepared to do their jobs for that salary. If we’re not careful there won’t be a single junior doctor who is prepared to do so either.

Lady in stripes, "People can't afford food for their kids.. They don't have a job because there aren't any up here because the Tory government haven't invested.. It'd ridiculous to think that poverty has nothing to do with mental health" #BBCQT Rod Liddle, "It isn't" Lady in stripes, "I see people day in day out who struggle with their mental health" Rod Liddle, "It doesn't correlate" Phillipa Gregory, "It does correlate in England" Rod Liddle, "Not everything is the fault of the Tories" Tim Farron, "Yea, sure" - then goes on to explain that the biggest increase in case work has been the growth in young people struggling with mental health conditions

Shameful. Disgusting. Cowardly. Complicit.

This Government is an absolute disgrace Please RT if you agree

Please make this go viral. It’s never been articulated better than this.

£14 per hour is not a fair wage for a junior doctor Please RT if you agree

If you listen to one thing today, make sure it is this. Emma Hayes hitting the nail on the head once again.

It’s 12 years today since Gary Speed passed away. Whenever this video of Dan Walker talking about Gary comes up on my timeline, I watch it and am reminded of how fragile a thing life is. If you are struggling, know that you’re not alone. ❤️

At @HeriotWattUni, we've been involved with @WhiteRibbonScot since 2021 - a campaign to involve men in tackling violence against women. Find out more in our short video! youtu.be/xIkTxXTV8LA?si…
