So Andrey Rublev, who wrote 'No War Please' on a camera after winning last week, or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who has spoken about fears for her safety after speaking out against the war, lose their livelihoods? How is that a just response?

My message to Sajid Javid today : Remember you are now the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care - not the minister for selling off our NHS or gifting contracts to your mates in banking and finance.

Having spent days arguing about where the money comes from its worth saying "more money" isn't actually a solution to health or social care. The system is broken. Flooding it with billions more won't change that.

Gender neutral does not = male. Women aren't some strange branch of men, they're 51% of the population, and its just lazy to make men, their lives, preferences, habits, and dress sense the default option
