The devolution debate in the Commons is peak Starmers Labour.
Entirely dressed up in "giving power to local communities" but clearly in detail moving power even further away from citizens.
Labour want to transfer public funds to private wealth & don't want people to notice!

People on the Right are just obsessed with money and power and don't give a sh*t about anything else.
That is how it is, and how it has always been.

It will take more than building houses to save Starmer.
The electorate is poor and demoralised by over forty years of Neoliberalism hollowing out their communities for corporate greed.
If Labour doesn't offer change, people will look elsewhere.

Labour's big Farage problem has a simple solution: build, build, build | John Harris

I had a wonderful Erasmus experience - 6 months of study in Utrecht with 30 others. Horizons and possibilities expanded. I am so sad that my children and their friends do not have the same opportunity.
“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme”

My take on Twitter is that, to a certain degree, you can post what you like - but the algorithm makes sure very few people get to see your tweet

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, the Independent Alliance have written to the Prime Minister asking if he will comply with the ruling.
The UK government must decide: is it on the side of Israeli impunity or international law?

According to the government's own figures, means-testing Winter Fuel Payments will push 50,000–100,000 more pensioners into poverty annually.
In the sixth largest economy, no-one should have to choose between heating or eating.
That’s why I voted against this harmful policy.
