A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Extraordinary thing about the Epstein saga is it has resulted in only one person going to jail — a woman. Ghislaine was heavily involved, but not a user of Epstein’s services. No question of jail for Andrew: he needs only drop a prefix before his name. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Stupidity and royal self-entitlement sank Andrew, and it may not be over yet

Indulged by his mother and ignored for too long by his siblings, it is behaviour like Andrew’s that could ultimately kill the monarchy

"Absolutely agree, claiming PIP, it's a horrific system"

"The amount of information you have to provide is unbelievable"

Living under a Reform council is terrifying & if they can’t even run councils, how could they possibly run a country?

The damage wrought on Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba by Hurricane Melissa is severe.

These countries did little to cause climate breakdown, yet are left facing its worst impacts.

My thoughts and prayers are with their people as relief, recovery and rebuilding efforts begin.

Hurricane Melissa death toll nears 50 as Jamaica relief efforts intensify and storm heads north

Haiti death toll reaches 30, and 19 in Jamaica, as Bermuda weathers tropical storm conditions on Thursday night

Strange, isn't it? Farage is usually happy to mouth off publicly about anything...

But his only comment I can find about The Asshole Formerly Known As Prince blames his fall on "the modern media and social media age"...

There couldn't be a chum of Epstein he's terrified of upsetting could there? 🤮

The great dividers want you to think the problems in society are caused by migrants and refugees.

They’re wrong.

The problems in society are caused by an unjust economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich.
