For all that it was expected this is such sad news.
Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

Today not only did I vote for access to health care, for reproductive freedom, for equal rights, for safe schools, and for a fair economy, but also for SANITY and HUMAN DECENCY. Please remember that whoever you are and wherever you live, your voice matters. Your VOTE matters. I know we don't agree on everything, and that is the beauty of this country, but GOOD LORD aren't you tired of this negativity towards each other? The intimidation and constant threats to those who do not think the same as the other? Let's please end this era of fear, chaos and the attacks on our democracy - and vote for someone who will unite us and not continue to threaten to divide us I very proudly voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. We are so lucky we get to VOTE and this election is in our hands! We only have one week until Election Day so talk to your friends, your family, your neighbors and let's find our way back to each other with respect, common cause, and Love💙🇺🇸

That speech Michelle Obama just gave was one of the best of this entire cycle. She is unbelievable. Here’s how she brought it home.

Just because Donald Trump acts goofy doesn’t mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Lately, some of the people who know Trump the best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again.

Holy sh*t. This new Kamala Harris ad, which will air on Fox ahead of the debate, will mess with Donald Trump as it uses the words of Trump’s own cabinet & inner circle to show how he is unfit & unable to serve. This is so good. Watch & share it below.

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a @Nigel_Farage problem. RT if you agree.

A decent human being …at last
Ok, so it's been reported Keir Starmer, if he becomes PM, wants to clock off at 6pm to spend time with his kids. The thing is, that's not what he said. (He only wants to ringfence Friday evening and he accepts that time might get disturbed). Herewith the verbatim transcript:

The jaw-dropping mess of UK higher education is starkly revealed by a series of news stories all on the @timeshighered website in the last week or so: 1.) There are job cuts right across the sector (44 universities and counting): timeshighereducation.com/new…

It's a good point.
#RishiSunak #VictoriaAtkins #BMA #Inheritance #juniordoctors #JuniorDoctorsStrike If we can afford tax cuts for the wealthiest 4%, we have money for the Junior Doctors. Scrapping IHT - most of the Tory Party would benefit. Paying the Doctors - we all would. You do the Maths...
