Behind the scenes it's a different story. In my district at least. OTs and homeless units working 7 days a week and from home. Obviously not gonna be the same in tory or similar strongholds.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

A short ๐Ÿงต so everyone can learn that political violence is nothing new in America.

Of the 1,331 Black officials who served during Reconstruction, 158 (10.4%) were subjected to political violence. 1/7

for gods sake when are some people going to realise that many many people on benefits are in paid employment.
we have so many on benefits so that we all can subsidise big business to pay low wages

lets all get it.
please share

someone has actually tweeting that everyone on benefits is a scrounger
course you are if you are dying and can't work any more and have no savings from low wages
perhaps they should get a life - before its too late!
