So ask yourself...

Why the concern for women only when the perpetrator is a migrant?

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...

78% are murdered by a partner/ex

Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this

Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety

In fact, they voted against them...

Man on a bus: I did my kids’
Halloween make‑up. They loved it,
but it scared their friends. I might have overdone it. I’m a trauma surgeon.

Letting agency used by Reeves apologises, saying it's to blame for rental licence error
The lettings agency involved in Rachel Reeves’ rental arrangements said it had apologised to her for an β€œoversight” that led to a failure to obtain a licence.

Gareth Martin, owner of Harvey Wheeler, said:

We alert all our clients to the need for a licence. In an effort to be helpful our previous property manager offered to apply for a licence on these clients’ behalf, as shown in the correspondence. That property manager suddenly resigned on the Friday before the tenancy began on the following Monday.

Unfortunately, the lack of application was not picked up by us as we do not normally apply for licences on behalf of our clients; the onus is on them to apply. We have apologised to the owners for this oversight.

At the time the tenancy began, all the relevant certificates were in place and if the licence had been applied for, we have no doubt it would have been granted.

Our clients would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for. Although it is not our responsibility to apply, we did offer to help with this.

We deeply regret the issue caused to our clients as they would have been under the impression that a licence had been applied for.

Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.

Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?

#OnThisDay 1915 the Girton & Newnham Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospitals set sail from Liverpool to Serbia to set up a hospital unit in Salonika. This photo, taken 2 days before they departed, is from the album of Nurse Annie Allan heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/408

Reform MP Sarah Pochin's comments about adverts were 'racist', Wes Streeting says Sarah Pochin apologises for saying "it drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people".

If Reform UK are happy to have an overt racist on their benches then what does that tell you about the party?

Pochin should have had the whip removed 24 hours ago.

Or are Reform condoning it by their silence?

I’ve already got a few, this is numbers 1 to 6 and although the spines are torn, they’re all otherwise in quite good nick, Β£20.
I paid more than I wanted to for the crested china though, but I’ve not seen many of these before

It’s rare to see a clever one. They are almost all infantile, pointless, insulting, stupid, boring, idiotic, etc etc
When I was ill a few weeks ago and stuck on the sofa watching daytime TV they were all to do with funerals, wills, mobility scooters, stairlifts, incontinent pants 😱

I see what you mean, and your point about Gilbert’s colours, but …. contentious maybe? … artists are doing more than just colouring in a photo. I admit I have seen a few good colourised photos but I’ve seen more ghastly ones. And of course the same applies to paintings.

Arty folk, please don’t bother colourising FWW photos (nearly always awful) - it will never be a good as Gilbert Rogers
