I am very concerned about cuts to domestic abuse services amid the council funding crisis.
New evidence from @womensaid shows 49% of orgs were forced to run parts of their service without proper funding.
Thank you to @JackieLongc4 and the survivors who shared their stories. 1/2

Lady in green, "As a child I couldn't understand how the nazis came to power. And now I understand it... Truss and Kwarteng tanked the economy, my daughter is paying £400 more a month for her mortgage. They are deflecting all of that by talking about small boats." #BBCQT

"Home Secretary you and I both have children, what would you do if one of them went missing"? Suella Braverman was pressed by SNP Spokesperson and APPG Refugees member @alisonthewliss on what the Government are doing to locate the 154 unaccompanied asylum seeking children still missing from Home Office run hotels.

Sad news. Still on my play lists.
The multiracial group were active in the Rock Against Racism movement, played benefit concerts for anti-racist and anti-nuclear organisations’. #TerryHall & the Specials were at the heart of resistance to racism & fascism.

Utterly brilliant questioning of the Home Secretary this morning on the lack of safe routes & how refugees without a specific country scheme literally cannot seek asylum in the UK without entering the country in any way they can, she's left scrambling.
We need safe routes NOW

There is a word for people who take pleasure in the suffering of others.
And they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government.
