Constructive criticism is one thing but booing your own players I will never understand. We are with you Andreas even in the low moments 👊 ⚪️⚫️🔴 #FFC

Andreas is one of the top chance creators in the league, a hard worker and a BRAZIL INTERNATIONAL playing at Craven cottage, and the fans boo him 🤔 anyone can miss a penalty. We're going to drive out one of our most desirable players...

Important date alert! ⚠️ This year we will announce the new real Living Wage rates for 2024-25 on the 23rd October. As ever, the wage rate will reflect the real cost of living in the UK, and in London. Find out more about the current Living Wage rates: https://t.co/aeQ9ttSYla

All 16 & 17-year-olds should have the right to vote, allowing thousands of young people to have a say on decisions that impact them. Yesterday, community leaders across Citizens UK gathered in Parliament Square to meet with newly elected MPs & continue campaigning for change 💪

Beautiful reflection on organising and solidarity from Grace Akinyemi at last night’s @CitizensUK general election assembly “Some of these issues will directly affect our own lives, for the other issues, we care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.”

We need more people like my husband in Parliament. A working class voice who understands and cares about issues deeply - with experience of kinship care, running a small business, and working on global poverty & inequality. This is a snapshot of his story:

"I came to this country at 22 but will not be a citizen until I'm 40" The UK's long & expensive pathway to citizenship impoverishes families & causes untold suffering. Hear colleague Minna's powerful calls to make the system timely, affordable, fair💪🏾👏🏾 https://t.co/NSRzwRZPIP

❌ We need a reset. People who migrate to the UK are rooted in and strengthen our communities, but are struggling to survive. We cannot tackle homelessness, poverty and suffering without urgently fixing the UK's broken pathway to #citizenship. #SkyDebate #BattleForNumber10

Great to see @CitizensUK leaders hard work paying off with the @LivingWageUK social care campaign. Great piece in the guardian https://t.co/0nE5NWpWcb about the desperate need for the next government to do more.

Our research with @IPPR finds nearly half of England's care workers earning less than a real Living Wage. We call on the next UK government to ensure all care workers are paid at least the real living wage, and build on the example set by Scotland and Wales.

Matthew Bolton, @CitizensUK: “It’s not right that those caring for our loved ones when they need it most are barely surviving because of their low wages...We urge the next UK government to ensure all care workers are paid at least the real #LivingWage"

"Nearly half of all care workers in England earn less than the real Living Wage. 80% of care workers in London earn less than the London Living Wage." How will we ever recruit enough care workers if we won't even pay them enough to get by? https://t.co/sKrDLudF14

Munira joined me at Carshalton Boys to see first hand the impact mental health services in schools can have. It's simple: every school should have mental health professionals in them. Future generations will wonder why this wasn't always obvious.
The Liberal Democrats have said they would increase taxes on internet companies such as Google and Amazon to fund mental health professionals for all England's state schools, if they win the general election. Education spokesperson Munira Wilson spoke to #BBCBreakfast
