Considering the usual operating fuckery of big tech, if they take her books of audio and e-book marketplaces it will probably wipe them from your library even if you've paid for and downloaded them. You might want to act accordingly.

Scrapping the two-child cap is both anti-poverty & pro-learning.
Children don’t come to school ready to learn if they live in poverty. Teachers can’t focus on teaching if they’re plugging gaps elsewhere.
What goes on outside the school gates makes a big difference inside them.

One thing about the mansion tax is that London residents will pay most of the surcharge but it goes to a Central pot. I don't think it's fair as it rewards all the brexit areas and there's no accountability over who gets the moneyv(yet). It's like rewarding stupidity.

Still labour kept cycle to work but limited salary sacrifice for pensions. So I'm incentivised to get a really sick bike or the best components yearly. Gravel grx with clutch, sram red and full sys.

Slightly odd to include the Justice Secretary rather than say the Agriculture Secretary. I wonder why?
I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are
