If millions in full-time work earn less than a disabled person’s benefits, the scandal is wages — not benefits. Raise pay. Stop the envy politics.

Outrageous that someone on benefits can receive £25,000 a year - more than what two million people earn on the minimum wage after tax. This isn't just economically unsustainable, it's morally wrong. We should be rewarding work, not dependency

NEW: Is the internet changing our personalities for the worse? Conscientiousness and extroversion are down, neuroticism up, with young adults leading the charge. This is a really consequential shift, and there’s a lot going on here, so let’s get into the weeds 🧵

Care work is not a low skilled job. It's simply under-paid and under-recognised. Stop this nonsense and start recognising those who look after our most vulnerable, whereever they come from. On behalf of us sane people - thankyou to all overseas care workers RT if you agree

Today the King called his cancer diagnosis “frightening” and “daunting” with sympathy flooding the front pages. But I also want to see this headline: 23,000 people with cancer face losing PIP daily living support under new rules. That’s 33% of claimants. Where’s their compassion?

KNEECAP STATEMENT: Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign. For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes. The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts. Let us be absolutely clear. The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing. Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponize false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide. We do not give a f*ck what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide just as we are. What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent. No media spin will change this. Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting. The young people at our gigs see through the lies. They stand on the side of humanity and justice. And that gives us great hope. Kneecap ❤️

Mental health misinformation is rampant on social media. In our new study, 33% of popular mental health videos on TikTok that offered advice and information were misleading. These videos were watched over 1 billion times. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11… @srmarcon @marco_zenone

keep in mind the main part of this article and why it resonates so much - Lilly Jay isn’t angry at Ethan and Ariana, she’s devastated that the public affair will break the sanctity of her career as a psychologist, which is built on the ability for her clients to project onto her

Lilly Jay moved to another country with her 2-month-old baby to support Ethan Slater, but he still cheated on her with Ariana Grande. Mind you, Ariana Grande still being with him and fangirling over this man explains a lot about her character.

Gisele Pelicot is the most powerful person on Earth. She has empowered millions of women by courageously breaking her silence about surviving serial rapes. For me, she is the person of the century.

If it weren't for a supermarket security guard persuading a woman to make a complaint against Pelicot for up-skirting, his horrific crimes would not have come to light. While we celebrate the courage of Gisele Pelicot, let's also rethink our approach to 'minor' sex crimes.

#GisèlePelicot ‘list of rapists’ shame

They were: Electricians Firefighters Bakers Nurses Tilers Restaurateurs Shop workers Gardeners Plumbers Office temps Builders Prison guards Lorry drivers Carpenters Technicians Soldiers... NEVER again can #women be told our fear of male violence is "irrational". #GiselePelicot

Today, she did it. Despite the burden of global infamy, she did it. Despite the insulting sentences meted out to the 51 rapists today, she did it. She exposed the "normal", "family man" facades and the ridiculous lies too many rapists hide behind. She won. #MerciGisèle
