I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.

That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.

We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.

Front page of the Sunday post with photos of women and the text reads “the most dangerous place in Scotland to be a woman: her own home”

Front page of the Sunday post with photos of women and the text reads “the most dangerous place in Scotland to be a woman: her own home”

A woman is killed every ten minutes by a family member or intimate partner

Most rape and sexual assault is committed by someone you know and trust

The misogyny runs deep and it’s worldwide

It’s why we choose the bear

It’s why “release the files” isn’t enough

It’s arrest everyone in the files.

2,000 will be eligible, and successful recipients will be chosen at random from applicants, who must be "professional artists" (definition tbc).
