"This is about platforms removing very egregious content.

“We are talking about the normalisation of strangulation, the normalisation of incest, of videos with girls in pigtails with teddy bears, of adults acting out child abuse and that extreme content being pushed by algorithms to the public for profit by porn platforms.”
Claire McGlynn on the MoJ's bizarre ad campaign on the latest strangulation porn crackdown

Really important to face up to this - state bodies like the @CareQualityComm, Border Force and the Home Office know there was a huge issue in migrant care visa holders coming to the UK who could not speak English.

Barbara Rymell died because her carers couldn't speak to 999.

Time to talk more publicly about poor communication skills of some of our foreign carers and its impact on quality of elder care, a sensitive issue but a lot of strong feeling out there. My Telegraph piece, grew out of a recent tweet on the ILR climbdown. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/11/0…

More than 100,000 British women have left the care sector since the care visa route was opened. They've been replaced by men on care/graduate visas.

Still, 0.9m British women 'wipe bums' in care. Little mention yesterday of what's "fair" to them - their pay and conditions have slumped, as intended by the policy of opening care visas to the world.

Even three years ago it was clear that the care worker visa scheme is a scam. The last government refused to believe it, and this government refuses to believe it.

Who are the "second group" of care work visa holders, who will be given a "second opportunity" to work in care, and, after 5 years, stay forever?

Likely most came by rogue firms, which sprang up when care jobs were opened to the world.

Consider the Top 40 care sponsors in 2023.

#1 -#5 are big name care companies...
