BBC News still using the term β€œunderage women” to refer to children abused by Epstein and friend. There’s no such thing as an underage woman, they are girls/children. #Epstein

"When a case appears on the papers in the court, it is R v [Defendant's name].

The 'R' stands for Rex, the King.

So, if Andrew were to be put on trial it would be The King versus Andrew Mountbatten Windsor."

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

State pension perk could be scrapped for all retirees with it 'open for debate' Mr Farage has asserted the state pension triple lock's future remains "open for debate" despite his party's new Treasury spokesperson signaling his support for the policy.

If you are retired and rely on the state pension to survive probably best not vote for Reform UK.

Yesterday we heard that the number of NEET young adults is rising and something needs to be done. Today we’re hearing about changes to SEN provision which will reduce the number of children with EHCPs. Is there any hope of coherent policy from this government? #Education

Reform’s white nationalism will extinguish everything good about Britain If they gain power people will realise – but far too late

Heartbreaking from @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social on the very real damage Farage and Reform are doing to our country and shared future.

β€œBrexit was the first, deep cut into that optimistic, multiracial Britain. What has followed was entirely predictable.”

Time for a Reeves resit on student loans By Cal Roscow

β€œLabour was elected under a banner of change. On student loan interest, it is defending continuity.

"Reeves cannot afford to be wrong on this issue because, for her and Labour, compound interest is not simply growing balances; it is growing anger," writes Cal Roscow.
