Refugee from the #deadbird, but have missed the people I regularly follow there. With grown ups back in charge in the UK, was hoping to enjoy cat videos... and then the US elections happened. Still a proud EUropean

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Earlier this year the UK launched the Global Talent Fund to attract 60-80 of the worlds top researchers (& their teams) in areas relating to the UK's Industrial Strategy.
The first 4 have been named & are in the process of relocating to the UK: 3 are coming from positions in the US.

So Laura Kuenssberg did an hour long programme yesterday and did not mention once, the party leading the polls being implicated in Russian money?

For next year, Labour will ensure over half a million more children across England will get free school meals, putting money back in parents’ pockets and giving every child the best start in life!

It still hurts me to see the damage the Tories did to our NHS over the years, especially when I look back at where it was when Labour left office in 2010.
It will take time to properly fix our NHS, but Labour has done it before and they doing it again. Here are just some of the ways it's happening!

It really is so absurd to claim "I get small business because I worked in a MacDonalds once and what business needs is another massive costly upheaval in four years, just as they have absorbed the last change." Even before you add the fact that she is unlikely to be Tory leader by next summer.
Badenoch's arrogantly delivered, noxiously apocalyptic assault on employment rights aside, it's quite something to claim that only you understand business, then ask business, instead of adjusting to a new law, to plan on the remotest chance that you will become PM and undo it all in four years.🤣 ~AA
