Grateful to speak to the @femicidecensus.bsky.social about what more can be done to put an end to femicide. Their new report is a hard but important read - it shows Knowsley to have the highest rate of women killed per capita of any constituency between 2022-23⬇️

For weeks, ministers and other British politicians have been trying to convince the rest of us and perhaps themselves that Trump is more normal than he is, that he cares about Ukraine and Europe more than he does and that is less inclined towards Putin than he is...

Traitor Trump will spend the entire night trying to spin his disastrous Oval Office ambush stunt into a political win. Zelenskyy is a war hero. Trump is an all-time zero.

From food safety to air travel to environmental protections, Trump and Musk have gone on a firing spree at agencies that protect nearly every facet of American life. This has nothing to do with "efficiency" and everything to do with lining their own pockets at our expense.

"I just hope Canada is proud. Cause every player in that room is proud to be a Canadian…Canada needed a win. The players beared that on their shoulders & took it seriously. This one was different. This wasn't a win for themselves. This was a win for 40+ million people...” - Coach Jon Cooper 🇨🇦

Lord Keynes told us in 1941 how to pay for defence We should follow his advice. youtu.be/D8vt7hXlqZM?... If we need to pay more for defence the last people who should pay for it are those most dependent on the state. It’s the richest who should be covering the cost.

America was not discovered by Columbus; it was looted, and its indigenous people were exploited. This land does not belong to Trump or any colonizer—it always was and still is the land of Native Americans!

Vance & Trump are both clearly enemies of Europe. Which is fine. That will only make us stronger and force Europe to become what the world needs it to be. ✊🇪🇺

If work is our bread, music is our roses. Yet AI is threatening livelihoods, churning out soulless imitations of artists without permission or payment. Someone's getting paid—but not the creators. That’s why I asked the Government to stand up for musicians & put them at the heart of this debate.
