Róisín Murphy was cancelled in 2023 after sharing her views about the effects of puberty blockers on children on her personal Facebook page. Last week, @roisinmurphy spoke in Parliament about her experience of cancellation and the negative impact it is having on the arts. She said: “The creative soul of this country ... has always thrived on discomfort, on the freedom to be wrong, to offend, to pivot and to surprise ourselves. “Without that freedom, we don’t get better art, we simply put artists into a chokehold and suffocate the life out of our culture. We need free, equal and open debate. The arts must breathe freely again.” Murphy argued that public funding of the arts supports those who agree with prevailing orthodoxies rather than dissenting voices. This, she said, has led to self-censorship among artists and damaged British culture. Read more below @Freedom_in_Arts 👇






Labour is the ONLY party that could have done this. And Labour is the ONLY party that will continue to defend workers' rights in years to come.







I've just finished a morning interval session. That's the reason I'm still able to 'battle' for 1st lady at parkrun. I wasn't magically born an Olympian, I worked hard to get there. I was, however, born a woman. #makeparkrunfairforall #inclusivity


A Wetherspoons bar manager in Braintree refused to serve Reform supporters. Has anyone told him that his boss, Tim Martin, is a pro-Brexit ally of Reform? Or that a significant amount of his customers will be Reform voters? This kid is an idiot.


🚨 "J'ai vu mon mari passer de ses cheveux bruns à ses cheveux gris et personne n'a fait de commentaires. Il n'a pas perdu de jobs à cause de ça ! Les gens ont même trouvé qu'il était encore plus canon. Du coup j'ai voulu agir comme un homme. Et j'ai eu une réaction différente." Hilarie Burton brise le tabou des cheveux blancs et dénonce un double standard. L’actrice raconte avoir reçu des remarques dès l’apparition de ses cheveux blancs. Elle critique une vision qui associe les femmes à la vieillesse trop rapidement. Assumant pleinement ses cheveux gris, elle affirme vouloir s’en libérer et ne plus répondre aux injonctions. Un message fort sur l’acceptation de soi. 👏 (via aufeminin)





🚨Breaking news: MPs are human and sometimes have a drink. Classic clickbait farming 👎 MPs work long days for constituents, and yes, sometimes share a drink in the evening with colleagues. Last week I was scandalously spotted with… an alcohol-free pint or two between votes 😱 But sure, let’s talk about that instead of the Greens’ wacky policies. Trying to distract us, maybe? 🙄





Yeah no, sorry, MPs are often cooped up in Parliament for 15 hours a day, they will have a drink with journalists or colleagues and will still be discussing politics -their job, as Hannah says. I don’t like the blanket demonisation of MPs and Hannah should know better after she had already been accused of not taking the job seriously because she took part in that dancing event in Portcullis house. It was unfair to call her unserious about that then and it is unfair of her to now suggest that MPs having a drink in between votes which take up all night is by default bad.
