@lbc.co.uk As a 1969 adoptee, many thanks to LBC for interrupting programming to carry the full apology by the state over forced adoption, which was, directly or indirectly, most adoptions of the period covered by the apology. Starmer did the right thing. It's a shame it took so long.

No need to listen carefully to Reform and the BBC today to hear what they're saying after losing in Gorton and Denton: we do not tolerate minorities in the UK. We hate and are fearful of their languages and culture. We feed the criminally stupid racists and flag shaggers. #gortonanddenton #greens
