The actual position on this. Nothing like the shtstirring stuff from right
The desperation by those on the Right to smear Angela Rayner is wearing thin🙄

I’ve trawled through multiple versions of this “story” in the Telegraph and Daily Mail to try and piece together what’s going on!

✅ Vote YES on 50!
The fight for fair representation is national. While states like TX, FL, & NC use partisan gerrymandering to rig elections, CA is fighting back. Prop 50 lets us level the playing field and counter their maps. It’s a strategic necessity to protect our voice in Congress. #YesOn50

It bothers me that today I had to point out…
To former Tory MP @PhilipDaviesUK
That the Hillsborough families invoked the ECHR in their fight for justice
Because he, like so many, either doesn’t know
…or is being disingenuous about the vital protections the ECHR affords us.

What’s missing from the story is perspective - in July this year bills came down by over £130 a year - nearly £3 per week. So this 30 quid increase still leaves bills 100 quid lower than they were in July…..

They’re all the same - Cllr Bloom (Lloyds & Corby Old Village) has today left his role following accusations he used the ‘n’ word against a black family who live close by to him

Why, you might ask, do the BBC and Sky News, casting their editorial guidelines to the wind, keep giving massive airtime to the far right, while shutting out leftwing voices? Don't their bosses understand the likely consequences?

So if I get this right the media are moving to benefit claimants. There’s a story of the £100k family doing the rounds.
Now they’ve got you riled up about hotels and asylum seekers, they’re coming for you. Don’t say you were not warned.
You’ve been conned. Big time.

Britain’s enduring need for migration
If we can accept Britain has a long, well-documented history of relying on outside resources, it shouldn’t really surprise us that we as a country still do
What is surprising is how little honesty there is about why migration numbers are currently so high

The hypocrisy of the far right is off the scales. In fact, if you look at the criminal convictions of those arrested at riots, the number with convictions has been around 40% on avg and it was 68% in Bristol.
