So many men making the news every damned day: Al Fayed, Diddy, Dominique Pelicot and his 80 rapist friends, Andrew T*te, the Taliban. Everywhere you look, men subjugating and abusing women, weaponising or profiting from sexual violence. Enough of this shit.

Based on Labour’s shadow cabinet, 84% went to comprehensive schools, 10% went to private schools and 6% to state grammar schools.
That would mean for the first time the cabinet closely reflected British society. theguardian.com/politics/liv…

Starmer, if he becomes PM, will inherit the highest British taxes since the war. Only an idiot would say this is his fault. Thing is, it's not Sunak's fault either.
A thread where I will annoy everyone.

This is important….
The Spectator has just ran the figures for the Tories' published tax plans.

During tonight’s #ITVDebate, Rishi Sunak said small boat crossings are down by “a third” in the last 12 months.
That was true in 2023, comparing year-on-year. But so far in 2024 provisional figures show they’re up 38% vs the same period last year. #GE24 (1/2)

Rishi Sunak claimed during the #ITVDebate that “English schoolchildren are the best readers anywhere in the western world.”
But according to one measure (Pisa test results), pupils in Ireland, Canada and USA had a higher reading score than England. #GE24 buff.ly/3KuhscF

The Post Office scandal shows the power of television and television drama in particular to channel injustice. If there are any TV writers looking for a subject that could do with the same treatment, the cladding/building safety scandal is just waiting for you…

Quite the tweet (X) from the Conservative supporting Telegraph…..

Britain's public sector: an economic drag, a burden on taxes, bore the brunt of Tory austerity, whose workers cause inflation & whose buildings aren't the Govt's reponsibility.
There is something profoundly wrong & damaged about the Government's view of Britain's public services
