Reform have said they are going to get rid of the Equalities Act and the Human Rights Act. Obviously every single charity working with humans, every union, and every employer should object to such proposals.

This is an amazing piece from Jess Davies. But we have a plan to fight back - if anonymous accounts have used image based abuse to try and silence you, chasing you across platforms, we'd love to hear from you.
"The images were fake. But the loss of power was real. The humiliation was real. The sense of being reduced to a body – something they could manipulate and degrade – was painfully real.
"And this abuse was a warning. A message to women like me: 'This is what happens when you challenge us.'"

Men using images to abuse women didn’t start with Grok – while tech bros are making money out of online harm, women will keep paying the price, says Jess Davies

Why didn't Farage just answer the question about Reform's education policy?
Why did he seek to mock and ridicule the journalist asking a perfectly legitimate question and try to deligitimise the FT?
Easy. That's who he is. An arrogant man who doesn't have any policies beyond pointing at the sea.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

As a child protection professional, I can tell you the death penalty is NOT an awesome solution to child sexual abuse. Most children are abused by family members; they will not report if their family members will die as a result.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.

Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.
