When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name:

Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

Labour are no better than the fucking Tories. They had one shot at changing things after 14 years of that lot dragging us through disaster after disaster. Labour will be a one term government. Targeting the disabled instead of the super rich. Shame on you

Rachel Reeves HATES disabled people. It's helped Labour plunge to 15% in the polls. And dropping.

Rachel Reeves, who cried in public when her MPs stopped her devastating the lives of 800,000 disabled people, is now attacking the Motability scheme for disabled people.
Conclusion: Rachel Reeves HATES disabled people, as does the Labour Cabinet.

Rachel Reeves should consider welfare cuts in budget, says right-wing IFS.

They want the govt to hurt the poor, old, sick, disabled; curtail redistribution which enables millions to survive.

Silence on corporate welfare, ending profiteering, tax abuse by corporations/rich.

It is class war.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

And? So? They still believe in making Brexit work. They still insist on these Freeports that are tied to Brexit that will ruin our country even more.

Until Labour take us back in all they do is lie and bluster. Do not believe their lies.

Trade union should now be aligning with the green party and not Liebore. Their shift to the right, along with their part in genocide, should not be rewarded with union backing and trade unionists votes.

The only time I saw any emotion from Rachel Reeves was when she was stopped from devastating the lives of 800,000 disabled people.

🏮 He's very concerned about measures which oblige trans people to out themselves publicly and significantly increase their vulnerability to harassment, abuse and even violence

🏮 And he asks for an evidence-based approach. This ought to be common sense but sadly none of this is evidence based.

🏮 He thinks the direction of travel in the UK will breach its human rights obligations in multiple respects - pushing trans people into an 'intermediate zone' and jeopardising their right to be treated with dignity and to be able to participate in all areas of everyday life...

Quite a bodying, here, for the UK, from the Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe.

🏮 He points out the Supreme Court ignored human rights (which breaches its legal obligations)
🏮 He says, in effect agreeing with Lucy Powell, Parliament should be involved...

Left: Boris Johnson telling lies about freedom of movement saying the UK had no control of our borders

Right: Aside from being able to remove any criminals coming from the EU, for a longer term stay, EU citizens had to meet certain criteria, if they didn't they could be removed
