Praise where praise is due: scrapping the two-child benefit cap is an excellent move. And the most consequential of any of the measures announced today.

For the first time in 30 years, rail fares are being frozen by this Labour Government. Passengers using an annual season ticket from #York to Leeds will save £176 next year. #Rail #Transport

Poundland was one, if not THE, last places where you could get an actual £3 meal deal. Not £3.99 or £4.50 without a club card. Just £3. They've now removed it entirely.

The existence of trans and nonbinary people is something that benefits even cis people. There is no universal experience of being female or being male. No longer gatekeeping who gets to be what frees us all.

Extremely concerned to see mass arrests of peaceful protesters in Nottingham under anti-terror laws.
This is why I opposed Palestine Action's proscription. Conflating terrorism and protest will only continue eroding our rights to free speech.

This week is #TransAwarenessWeek.
Trans people have the same right to freedom, joy, safety, and healthcare as everyone else. But in the UK and across the world, their rights are under attack.
We need to stand up to transphobia and guarantee everyone’s dignity.

Solidarity with resident doctors striking in Nottingham and across the country from today.
Their pay is 21% lower today in real terms than it was in 2008/9, with a third of doctors planning to leave.
A fair settlement is vital to the future of our NHS.

Nigel Farage downplays problem gambling and says gambling industry shouldn’t face higher taxes
"Gambling has social harms attached to it. It preys on vulnerable people, so they absolutely should be paying more."

Four Labour MPs who lost the party whip in July for being “persistent rebels” have had the sanction removed, the last of a series of penalised backbenchers to be allowed back into the fold.
Neil Duncan-Jordan, Chris Hinchliff, Brian Leishman and Rachael Maskell spoke to the party’s chief whip, Jonathan Reynolds, and were allowed to hold the whip again after a review of how they had behaved since the suspension, it is understood. Continue reading...

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

Not a single member of the Socialist Campaign Group has a position in the Labour Govt
But MPs backed by the right-leaning Labour to Win faction are *hugely* represented
This is IMO a big part of the issue with PM Starmer's Government. It has a v narrow ideological range. No 10's tent is very small

The housing crisis started with Thatcher and it should end with this Labour government.
Launch a mass social housing programme, scrap Right to Buy, and introduce rent controls.

Starmer may drop key green pledge in effort to keep energy bills down

Ministers are considering dropping one of their central green pledges in an effort to keep energy bills down, sources have told the Guardian.
Government insiders say Keir Starmer is prepared to miss his own target of removing almost all fossil fuels from the UK’s electricity supply by 2030 if doing so proves much more expensive than building gas power instead. Continue reading...

Reform's plan to scrap indefinite leave to remain would mean the mass deportation of our friends, neighbours and colleagues.
It would rip the rug out from under people who work , pay taxes, and have built lives and families here.
