UK Government position: raising children is just another chore to be outsourced wherever possible to maximise ‘precious’ me-time.

What would you do with an extra 30 minutes in your day? 🤔 Free breakfast clubs are transforming mornings for 500,000 children - that's 95 precious hours back each year while children get a nutritious start to their day. Part of our Plan for Change ✨

🚨 Right NOW, Päivi Räsänen stands before the Supreme Court for quoting the Bible. This moment will echo far beyond Finland. At its root, the question before the court: can peaceful religious expression be prosecuted in modern Europe? History is watching.

NOW: The Supreme Court trial of Finnish MP Päivi Räsänen for a Bible tweet begins this morning. If convicted, Päivi faces thousands of euros in fines, for peacefully expressing her Christian views online. Päivi truly is the face of European censorship. Watch here for updates.

This tweet isn’t going well Could be something to do with her assisted suicide bill

So moving to visit the ‘Speak Their Name’ exhibition in Parliament. The beautiful quilts are created by families & friends in loving memory of someone they’ve lost to suicide. A powerful reminder of the need for continued work on suicide prevention: speaktheirname.org/home/

The EU’s Digital Services Act is one of the largest threats to online free speech. 👇@Rob_ADFIntl tells how this law establishes a censorship industrial complex and threatens free expression not just in Europe, but worldwide:

From gript

This letter - signed by free speech heavyweights from around the globe - cannot be ignored. 🚨 The @EU_Commission is conducting a review of the DSA. Will that be a closed-door whitewash or will they engage with the mounting criticism. 👇

BREAKING: More than 100 free speech experts from around the world today wrote to the European Commission, warning the EU’s Digital Services Act risks censoring global speech online. The experts’ letter was signed by @shellenberger, @Ayaan and many others. Link to full letter⬇️

The Digital Services Act introduces a “lowest common denominator” of online censorship across the EU. The most restrictive speech laws in any individual EU country could be applied across the bloc. I discussed the alarming implications with @LPerrins @griptmedia last week:

Earlier this month, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was met with boos in the European Parliament (watch below) as she announced the EU’s latest censorship tool: The European Democracy Shield. But what is the Democracy Shield?🧵

THIS IS INSANE. Police in Scotland arrested a pro-life grandma for standing silently outside an abortion center holding a sign. Watch how they force her to crawl into the back of a police vehicle. They silence pro-life people while babies are killed across the street.


“We’ve enthroned feelings over truth.” Great to speak with @LPerrins on @griptmedia this week! 🎙️
