Tory councils should consider asylum hotel challenges, says Badenoch
The Tory leader writes to council leaders after a court blocked a hotel from housing asylum seekers.
Those celebrating the High Courts decision regarding Epping seem to think people seeking safety will just disappear. We need genuine investment into community support schemes.Instead we have politicians telling the far right that their violent actions work. #r4today

This is a disgrace - the United States spitting on its own soldiers because they come from a minority the ruling clique holds in contempt. The people who made this decision have a special circle of hell waiting for them; liberals should fight to the bitter end to give these soldiers their due.

Turner points out that Pride in Surrey is a community interest company, not a charity... so how to trigger an investigation? Any institution or company supporting PiS(or having done so previously)should want answers about transparency, governance, safeguarding, culture. @surreycc.gov.uk could lead

When people get arrested because they *peacefully* protest against the genocide in Gaza we have a serious problem. This is happening today in both the UK and Germany. Even this 83 year old priest got arrested today for holding up a sign.

Can I remind you of the many shameful sexual abuse scandals affecting many communities and institutions: for instance, the Christian churches, including the Church of England, of which I am a faithful but critical member. I haven't given up on Christianity as a bad cause. Have you?

Hundreds of families displaced by Israeli air strikes on Gaza, witnesses say
At least five people were reported killed in the overnight attacks, as fears of an intensified ground offensive grow.
It would, obviously, be asking too much for our media and political class to care more about the repeated, state-directed criminal massacres of starving civilians in Gaza than what some rappers say at Glastonbury.

The objections of BPAS and other women's reproductive health organisations to the Creasy amendment is I think because they consider it is too rushed a way to bring about major change - not allowing for sufficient debate and time to craft robust legislation.
