Even my cold heart is warmed by Jack Grealish doing a celebration for his wee fan, Finlay ❤️

“A Labour government would rip up the planning rules restricting the expansion of #OnshoreWindfarms as part of a plan to make the UK a clean energy superpower”
This is in stark contrast to Sunak’s reinstatement of the ban on new onshore projects earlier this week
Good. We haven’t got time for NIMBYism

CW: Women’s football; WSL spoiler
Amazing night alongside 40,063 others at the #Emirates to watch #ArsenalWomen play #ManUtd
Disappointing result - I thought #Arsenal had done enough, but they were just very vulnerable defensively. Zinsberger looked particularly shaky under the high ball.
Bad to see #BethMead get injured too - looked like a sore one to the knee. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery🤞
And hey - still top of the league! And my wee boy loved it despite the score ❤️

CW: UK Politics; Dominic Raab
Also - Dominic Raab is claimed to have “hurled tomatoes at officials”? WTF?!
What happened to that independent adviser on ethics, Rishi Sunak? Sounds like you might need them?

CW: UK Politics; Sewage dumping
💩💩💩
‘Southern Water has discharged raw sewage for more than 3,700 hours at 83 bathing water beaches during the first eight days of November alone’
#SOSWhitstable have been monitoring the discharges and described it as “the worst [they] have ever seen sewage pollution in the south-east”🚨

CW: UK Politics; Tampon Tax rip off
Remember the sexist absurdity that was the #TamponTax? ✅
Remember when campaigners successfully fought for its abolition? ✅
Remember when retailers passed on the benefit of the VAT cut to customers? ❌
Wait. They didn't? Well, they bloody well should (pun intended)

CW: UK Politics; Tampon Tax rip off
The woman behind the #EndTamponTax campaign - Laura Coryton - has started a new petition, calling on retailers to do the right thing (at last) and pass on the benefit of the VAT cut to their customers

CW: UK News; Tampon Tax rip off
To be clear, the #EndTamponTax campaign was not about cost (IMO) - it was about ending the sexist absurdity of taxing menstrual products as if they were ‘non-essential’ items
But retailers cheering equality publicly whilst ripping off consumers secretly is Not On
-
CW: UK News; Tampon Tax rip off
It takes a pretty wicked cynicism to pocket the change from the #EndTamponTax campaign win - but it looks like that's what retailers have done
Time to stop profiteering from our periods 🤬
Great research from @danneidle to uncover this scandal 💪

CW: World Cup; Concussion
Horrible to see the Iranian keeper being stretchered off - and especially grim to see Quieroz and the Iranian camp trying to get him to stay on when he was so clearly injured
Jermaine Jenas speaking powerfully on the need to comply with the concussion protocols - absolute amateur hour at the World Cup

CW: UK Politics; Brexit; Law
“A plan by ministers to review or repeal all EU laws on the UK statute book by the end of 2023 has suffered another setback after the discovery of 1,400 additional pieces of legislation”
I’ll save the political analysis for someone else because all I have is: LOL 😆

CW: UK Politics; post-Brexit
If Rishi Sunak is looking for yet another u-turn, Jacob Rees-Mogg’s ridiculous plans to axe EU laws would be a great place to start
Even leading Brexiter Theresa Villiers thinks the proposal to axe thousands of laws is ‘unworkable and unnecessary’

CW: UK Politics; Raab bullying
Interesting - Sunak has appointed an independent barrister - Adam Tolley KC - to investigate the Raab bullying allegations
I wonder if he’s had to go down this route because he can’t find anyone sufficiently masochistic to accept the role of independent adviser on ethics? 🤔

CW: UK Politics; ethics
‘Ever since Johnson overrode a report that found Priti Patel had bullied staff, “everyone accepted it would be fruitless to complain”’
Good piece on Whitehall’s “murky complaints process”. Lately it seems civil servants believe they’ll get a better outcome if they leak complaints to the media rather than raising them internally

📣 Did you know that all children in England are entitled to FREE period products at school?
Government provides free supplies for all state-funded schools & colleges - they just have to order them!
If you know any students/ teachers/ heads/ governors/ parents etc - SPREAD THE WORD!
No child should have to miss school simply because they have their period 🩸
You can find out more here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/period-products-in-schools-and-colleges/period-product-scheme-for-schools-and-colleges-in-england

CW: Migrants’ rights; language
Great piece from Migrants’ Rights Network on why we should resist all attempts to normalise words like “invasion”, “swarm” or “influx” when talking about migrants - words that aim to “detract from the humanity of the people seeking safety or a new life”
Words matter

CW: UK Politics; Dido Harding
📣 Seeing a lot of “breaking news” about a #GoodLawProject and Runnymede Trust case from earlier this year (a time when I was Legal Director of GLP), in which then-Health Secretary #MattHancock was found to have acted unlawfully when he appointed #DidoHarding as the head of #TestAndTrace without due regard to equalities law
It’s not new, but it seems to do the rounds every so often. People are still really cross it seems!

I have a complicated home life which has meant an unexpected interest both in #Arsenal and #ManUtd (don’t @ me, it hurts me too)
I also support #AberdeenFC but that may be too niche even for here 😆
Love the #ScotlandNationalTeam but I will take my half-English kids to see #England #Lionesses (not least until Scotland qualify for a major tournament again)
