Idea: Offer asylum, no questions asked, for Afghan women and girls only, to any country. Let’s see what happens when Afghanistan is left to the men alone.

The night Britain stood up to far right racist fascist thugs who attacked our police, set fire to hotels housing asylum seekers and looted shoe shops, lush and even ran of with trays of sausage rolls 🎵 We are Brighton who are you 🎵 We are many you are few 🎵 Refugees are welcome here 🎵 Tell me what community looks like 🎵 This is what community looks like 🎵 Say it loud, say it clear 🎵 Whose streets? Our streets 🎵 This is what community looks like 🎵 Refugees are welcome here 🎵 Tell me what community looks like 🎵 This is what community looks like 🎵 This is what community looks like 🎵 Whose streets, our streets 🎵 Tell me what community looks like 🎵 This is what community looks like 🎵 Whose streets, our streets 🎵 There are many many more of us than you 🎵 There are many many more of us than you 🎵 This is what community looks like 🎵 There are many many more, many many more, many many more of us than you Contrary to populist opinion and rhetoric, most Brits are not racists, most Brits are welcoming, most Brits understand that without immigrants our services like the NHS would collapse, most Brits understand the richness diversity of cultures brings to our communities, most Brits are good decent people, and we should always remember that the minority of racist far right thugs - who have even been egged on by populist leaders including some who now sit in our parliament today - do not represent wider society. We, the British people, are much much better than that 👏 Love, not hate. Peace 🙏

Must watch first speech in parliament by Keir Starmer in which he tears into 14 years of Conservative failure and outlines how Labour will do better - long watch but refreshing Keir Starmer, "Whilst I respect the tone of leader of the opposition Rishi Sunak's contribution, I can't stop my mind wandering to 9 months ago when he was at this dispatch box" "His political hero Nigel Lawson said: to govern is to chose, and everyday serving the people of this country is a chance to make a difference for them" "Yet Mr Speaker, the last King's speech was the day the veil of Rishi Sunak's choices slipped.. And we all saw a party, his party, content to let our countries problems fester.. Content to push aside the national interest.. As they focused almost entirely on trying to save their own skins" "No more wedge issues.. No more gimmicks.. No more party political strategies masquerading as politics.. This is an agenda focused entirely on delivering for the people of this country.. Legislation for the national interest.. To make people better off.. Solve problems not exploit them" "With each day that passes, my government is finding new and unexpected marks of their corruption.. Scars of the last 14 years where politics was put above the national interest.. Decline deep in the marrow of our institutions" "We've seen it in our prisons.. In our rivers and seas.. It's even worse than we thought.. We see it in our councils, not even able to deliver services for children with special educational needs" "The work of change has begun"

Keeping this in mind always as we consider the adult social care workforce now and in the future ⁦@socfuture⁩ ⁦@skillsforcare⁩ ⁦@theRCOT⁩

This is a genuine question(s) - Why isn't there a #DisabilityPride march in London (and/or disability pride marches in cities around the UK)? What do people think about the idea of disability pride marches? #DisabilityPrideMonth

It's #NationalCarersWeek. @kay_georgette from @boltoncarers speaking today at Bolton's Health Inequalities Conference. "We don't know who all the carers are in Bolton, but we do know our system would crumble without them." @boltonnhsft @BoltonCVS

Rishi Sunak, asked whether Tories would withdraw from ECHR, says he's been "crystal clear". "If I'm forced to choose between securing our borders and our country's security or a foreign court, I'm going to choose our country's security every single time." Not entirely sure that *is* crystal clear 🤷‍♀️ Keir Starmer says he won't pull out of international agreements because he doesn't want UK to be "pariah" on global stage.
