Great to spend time today with firefighter watch at Poplar Fire Station.

Always an absolute honour to spend time with people who spend their lives keeping us safe.

Thank you. ✊🏼

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

So Chris Packham is coming under fire from the pro-hunt brigade yet again because he quite rightly called fox hunters "morally bankrupt sociopathic savages". LIKE this post if you agree with him!

🚨 The verdict is in: Labour plans to use private money to build its “NHS Neighbourhood Rebuild” programme.

This is a huge red flag — NHS trusts are still billions in debt from old PFI-style schemes. 💸

We’ll be watching closely as more info comes out.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Here’s The S*n’s pathetic, microscopic apology for one of the biggest lies in modern British politics - the “benefits tourism” fairy tale that conned millions and helped drag us into Brexit. They poison democracy with front-page lies, then whisper “sorry” in tiny print.

If you receive legal threats from Nigel Farage for your reporting of Reform, please get in touch.

We have employed a defamation lawyer specifically for this purpose and would love to help (and we do so on non-commercial terms). www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”
It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not.

He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.

Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes."

Starmer genuinely loves football, like, there's evidence of him LOVING football for decades. And yet...when he talks about it....he sounds like someone who has never seen a minute of it. He sounds like someone who only just heard the word "football" earlier that day.

Starmer needs to be removed for genocide and treason. Any MP not pushing for this should be treated with suspicion. Its shocking Starmer has not been removed yet.

Genuinely at this point, anyone who stays in the Labour Party, especially the MPs, are fully complicit in its descent into fascism.

There are unbelievably still people that think the answer is to put pressure on Starmer to do better.

There IS no better with Starmer.

This is it.

Its time for every Labour MP that has a tiny shred of morality left to piss or get off the potty.

This has got to be the end to this Labour Party. This needs to be the end of Starmer.

'A Government of cowards'

Spot on
A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.
