Like many my age, my Mum got a "Family Allowance". Hers. My Dad worked as did Mum. Three kids. It's probably why all three made it to higher education and the ability to see that depriving people of "Child Benefit" is both stupid and nasty. #endchildpoverty #bishopaucklandlabour #BACLP #labour

Please invoke Leveson 2. The press most of whom are out of control. You've seen what they've done to your colleagues, first Angela Rayner and now Rachel Reeves. The Sun getting her uncle to join the pile on is below the belt. It's time for the gloves to come off.
Dear Lisa Nandy, can you please do something about the media?
Signed, every sane person who can see what it is doing to our democracy.

Reform UK’s favourite pastime: pretending to defend “native Brits” while attacking every policy that actually helps them. It’s not nationalism, it’s nastiness. 🐍

Reform has lost 11 councillors and 2 MPs in a matter of months… and when I say ‘lost’ I mean, they’ve quit following rows, impropriety or inability to do their jobs.
So, if Brexit weren’t proof enough, then this barrelling shitshow should confirm forever that they should be nowhere near govt.
