So the two victims of grooming gangs say they will return if Jess Philips steps down.
Mmm I’m not getting a good feeling from those two witnesses.
Jess has been the one for years to bring it to where it is but now it’s all her fault.
Outside forces pushing these poor victims to cause trouble??

Possibly unpopular opinion - Farage’s ‘listen love’ moment should have been a much bigger deal, if not career ending. Especially as he’s spent all summer lecturing us about cultures which have a ‘medieval attitude towards women’.

The very worst part of her ill informed and dangerous rant today were the character slurs made about the phenomenal @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social at great personal cost Jess has consistently and bravely championed the victims of violence against women and girls -Badenoch is an utter disgrace

People seeking asylum in this country should be able to work here.
This would help them to integrate into our society, financially support themselves, and also reduce the cost to the taxpayer.

‘The threat couldn’t be more urgent and imminent. Yet here we are, still putting our head in the sand.’
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social says it’s ‘peculiar’ that the case of Farage ally Nathan Gill admitting to making pro-Russia speeches for cash isn’t being followed more closely.

Billionaire owner of Betfred says if UK govts raises tax it will close gambling shops.
Wants someone else to bear social cost of gambling.
Less tax on gambling means more for shareholders, execs.
Any big business not holding govt to ransom?
