Disappointed by the 29/07 @SaturdayKitchen treating vegan #AnneMarie as "other" by featuring meat/fish dishes with half-arsed alternates for her... and today's #BestBites has one of the same chefs @Brynwchef preaching veg & that good food doesn't need meat! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ. Do better chaps!!

So disingenuous. Not a penny was put in budget for making it a policing priority, it's just words. The announcement today is from a review started 2 years ago when he wasn't PM and was driven by two bereaved mothers he doesn't bother to mention nor has he met. Top priority bab
Last month I pledged to make tackling violence against woman and girls a national police priority. That includes the most extreme cases where women are killed in their own home. New laws today mean more violent criminals are brought to justice and spend longer behind bars.

When people make comparisons with what went on in Germany in the 1930s, I refer to these words from the Auschwitz Museum to judge if there is some truth in their claim.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence. It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

An open letter to Ms Bruce and her enablers. I am going to take the liberty of speaking on behalf of all the millions of women, and men, who have lived in fear of the one person who is meant to love and protect them. Those who have hidden under a bed, biting their lip until...1/

No, I think she should be sacked! #OnceIsOneTooMany #sackfionabruce @RefugeCharity
Do you think that Fiona Bruce (sat here with her husband who is paid ยฃ3.9m a year to advertise for the Conservatives) should apologise, resign from Refuge and resign from BBC Question Time, for trivialising domestic abuse?

Refugees fleeing war didn't undermine our NHS. Refugees fleeing rape didn't create a housing shortage. Refugees didn't lower people's wages. A decade of Tory cuts and policies serving the super-rich did that - but they want you to blame the vulnerable instead.

Taking Gary Lineker off air for saying something that is objectively true and keeping Fiona Bruce on air, despite saying something that is both deeply offensive and untrue, is everything that is wrong with the BBC.

1. The BBC is funded by licence payers not taxpayers. 2. This is not how you disprove that the actions of the Tory government are akin to 1930s Germany. 3. Youโ€™re funded by the taxpayer and more of us want you and your government to fuck off than Lineker.

Amid the noise re @GaryLineker another disastrous move by the BBC in response to the Tory government political pressure and cuts โ€” the abolition of BBC Singers and cuts to BBC orchestras. This is another resonance with 30s Germany โ€” the assault on culture and the arts. 1/2

The taxpayer-funded Andrea, when she was education minister, greeting some of the British public
To all the presenters pulling out of the show in solidarity with #Lineker, no problem, why don't you leave the taxpayer funded #BBC then you all can be as sanctimonious and vocal as you like. Or lets #DefundTheBBC

I wonder how Refuge's other Ambassadors feel about this disgusting gaslighting and disregard for the Charity's objectives and beneficiaries? @billiepiper @SirPatStew @SaffronHocking @CherieBlairKC @HelenaKennedyQC #HelenMirren #OliviaColman #RavnirSingh

Look what is written by @SuellaBraverman on the face of the Illegal Migration bill - that this legislation may not be compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights

If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
