These heartbreaking cases of such hate & violence involving children & young people are so troubling. Has it always been this bad? Is it getting worse? Why? Poor parenting? Social media? What’s going on… theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

I am immensely proud that the NHS I work in is one of the most multi-ethnic and diverse organisations in the world. NHS colleagues and emergency workers from many countries and faiths work around the clock to serve every UK community. You have my utmost appreciation and respect.
I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS. I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

Two young lads decided to throw 2 bricks through Hays Travel Sunderland today. Why? Seriously why? We’re a Sunderland based business who do huge amounts for the local community, dedicate nearly £1m a year to charities across the UK, we’re taking on more than 500 apprentices. Why?

This caller is correct. If people rioting violently attacked a Church or Synagogue the hatred/antisemitism would be rightly called out. There should be the exact same response to this happening to a Mosque. We cannot allow Islamophobia to be normalised.
“It should be reported as an Islamophobic riot.” Muslim caller Sam tells @carolvorders that ‘Islamophobia’ is not being called out following the riot in Southport.

The Labour metro mayors just arrived en masse for their meeting with Keir Starmer. Ben Houchen, the sole Conservative mayor, arrived alone about half an hour ago

Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits. A bit concerning, don’t you think?
Our favorite planet has now seen 20 days in a row breaking the modern-day record high-temperature of 16.924°C (62.46°F) set on July 24, 2022. This global heatwave is likely the hottest 20-day stretch in the last 100,000+ years.

Read this thread and weep. There will be thousands - if not hundreds of thousands - of stories like this. Terrible. Our Brexit benefits
Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit. Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.
