UK Labour Member. We won. Now let’s deliver. But taking money off vulnerable people is not the answer to the country’s problems. So let’s not do that 🫡

Trump's policies are hurting the US.

"It took trust for the US to become a scientific powerhouse. It took 70 years – and was destroyed within six months."

Multimillionaire Brexiter, Tim Martin, urges pubs to back Reform. Just like he urged the country to vote for Brexit. Too bad if it makes you poorer. Too bad for the children he’ll push back into poverty. Tim wants more money. And he couldn’t give a shit about the cost for everybody else.

Now we learn from Reps of both parties who saw the unredacted Epstein files today that Trump, Bondi, & Blanche are covering up the absolute worst things in the Epstein files to protect the wealthy, powerful and politically connected. DOJ is being run by criminal co-conspirators.

BREAKING: Congressman Moskowitz:

“I mean it’s disgusting. There are lots of names, lots of co-conspirators, and they’re trafficking girls all across the world,” he said, adding, “I mean it’s exactly as people thought it was. It’s that. And, and, and more unfortunately.”

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
Lawmakers say some Epstein files remain redacted despite DOJ's pledge
Reps. Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz told reporters key documents retained redactions despite the DOJ's pledge that members of Congress could view the full files.

Yep. And that’s not all. A corrupt $300M contract for Puerto Rico’s grid was mysteriously awarded to Ryan Zinke in 2017 after Hurricane Maria.
This is what I mentioned yesterday on Allison Gill's Break Down. PR fell for privatized utilities. It failed terribly. I was lucky to get my sick woman vet out. I believe these maybe votes the DNI stole. Bad Bunny spot lighted it. youtube.com/shorts/aIGSN...

I've seen this claim made a few times, but the issue with the Ipsos series is their final Truss figure is somewhat before she left office. Our favourability series has a near-identical figure on that day, but shows a continued worsening afterwards to a point significantly lower than Starmer's low.
Keir Starmer is the most unpopular British prime minister since records began: the sick man who cannot afford to catch a cold. That's why the Mandelson scandal has been so destabilising www.economist.com/britain/2026...

I gather the PLP meeting went really well - the PM was passionate - and angry - and took everyone with him. People underestimate him at their peril.

All you ‘fellow’ voices out there. Give yourselves a pat on the back.

We made a difference.

We beat the media’s nonsense and spared our country the chaos we hated so much under the Tories.

The first thing is the security services should be asked why they tried to block Lebedev

If it’s bad the second thing should be to haul Johnson in and ask why he ignored them

The Cabinet back Starmer. No surprise.

Starmer intends to carry on Leading. No surprise.

The public lend their voice to support Starmer. And not just Labour voters. No surprise.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.
