88% of sex offenders in the UK are White, only 82% of the population is White. If you are blaming only non-White people for Sex Crimes then you are not only ignoring the majority of offenders but also the most likely group to commit them.

@paulbrand.bsky.social Disgraceful how much coverage #itv are giving to Farage/Reform with 4 MPs. #libdems on 72 seats & being ignored. #libdems have more councillors and Councils than Reform. Farage & Reform have had more coverage in the last 7 days than #libdems have had in the past 20 years!

From today, hundreds of thousands of families across the country will be accessing 30 hours of Government-funded childcare. Putting an average of £7,500 a year back in the pockets of working families. Helping children thrive. Exactly what a Labour Government is about.
