Important piece here from @tamcohen. Peter Kyle confirms screen time “in the near future” after a @skynews survey of 1,000 teens in Darlington found 40 per cent spend at least 6 hours a day online. Watch what they have to say
NEW Screen time crackdown for under-16s to tackle "compulsive" scrolling is on the way, tech sec @peterkyle tells me. Two-hour curfews are being considered, with announcement expected later this year. In interview, he says: *Parents shouldn't feel they have to be "ripping…
At Port Isaac met Wayne from Hackney who used to fall asleep as a boy listening to to the Shipping Forecast and would dream of Lundy, Rockall, Humber, Faroes, Viking, S Utsere &c &c and now he sails them all in his yacht. Go Wayne!
Why do the far-right hate the summer so much? They always seem to go crazy and fight the police at this time of year.
I see that the Reform UK Ltd comms operation is ensuring all its leading figures post tweets saying "Britain is a tinderbox/powder keg/on fire" They'd love that of course and have been the ones with the matches
It would appear from the evidence from A&E consultant Kate Searle that she thinks there is no "kind" way to raise an issue with a male doctor being in a female changing room at work if he happens to identify as female. And therein lies the madness of gender ideology.
KS - policy said intimidating or offensive in way you say, that's enough. If everyone was kind and said things another say there was no need for it to come to this. NC - think briefly about another person, not a man who thinks/wishes he was a woman - a man in mans clothes - Pete
Tim and his new mates in Reform UK Ltd certainly *hope* the country is at boiling point then they can keep on pushing the right wing populist nonsense that has proved a fire accelerant
The country is at boiling point The authorities need to get a grip And quickly
Are we now allowed to finally declare “there is no such thing as trained in the medical model”? Can this phrase now be consigned to the dustbin of made up bollocks?
If someone has tweeted hostile things about you, talked about your house, suggested that he could leaflet a queue of children and parents waiting for their books to be signed and has now said of a photo of a street, 'This is in his road', what would you do?
Cos Jenrick is Reform UK Ltd In a royal blue rosette
If @RobertJenrick isn't given one of the top jobs in Kemi Badenoch's shadow cabinet there really isn't any point to this reshuffle.
How embarrassing is this?
Your Reform Council Cabinet had a Zoom call with June Slater. 🥰
People like Kirstie will never understand that people prefer to work from home because people like her work in their office.
Hearing that Lee Anderson was late to the GBNews studio today after getting stuck on a broken down escalator for 2 hours.
Foreigners with a completely different culture from ours, who marry their cousins and don't even work are being given free accommodation in a prime location in London. Disgusting!!!! Get these spongers out of Buckingham Palace now and give their rooms to our veterans.
At today's RDC meeting, we’ve voted to go ahead with strike action. Last week when we met @wesstreeting we were open to finding solutions to restore pay and improve working conditions. Today, we still do not have a credible offer on the table @Melissa_S_Ryan @RossNieuwoudt
“If they're not covering acute care like A&E...and saying clinics should go ahead instead, then they're making a dereliction of their duty.” BMA Resident Doctors Committee co-chair @RossNieuwoudt says NHS Trusts covering striking doctors must “ensure safe care above all else."
The monthly cost of renting a home in the UK has risen by £221 in three years. That's an increase of 21%, taking the average monthly rent to just under £1,300. High demand, a limited housing supply, and landlords passing on their own rising costs to their tenants is said to be…
