The UK already has youth mobility schemes with 13 other countries.

Our own polling has shown 3 in 5 support a UK-EU youth mobility scheme, with only 15% opposed.

The government must not be swayed by this attempted weaponisation by the right.
To my point yesterday…doesn’t matter what Labour actually does, this is how it will be reported/weaponised…

Taxpayers can't fund payouts for Waspi women, Starmer says.

Nonsense. Payment can be phased.

Govts that fund wars; bailout banks & energy companies; hand £895bn QE to speculators, subsidies to oil, gas, biomass, auto, steel, microchip & others can also fund justice.

Lenin had the right idea, take it all back no compensation, they have profited off it for too long and stolen it all in the first place.

It is time to steal it back.

Time magazine has a long history of essentially trolling the world by naming dictators and strong men "person of the year."

When Vladimir Putin won in 2007, one fan wrote him a particularly gushing letter.... his name was Donald Trump.

Scumbag farmers in tractors decided to block the A14 and A5 today with a 'go slow protest'.

There was no request for this, they did it illegally.

I hope the Police will be seizing their tractors and locking them up for 4-5 years just like Just Stop Oil.

Well ... we waited and waited but ... nothing from @australianlabor.bsky.social.

Not a word of condemnation. No floral wreath.

Perchance you have an agreement with Zionists that you will not speak up on behalf of Muslims while Israel is genociding Palestinians? #auspol #Islamophobia #Hypocrisy

Conservative Baroness Catherine Meyer called Lord Dholakia ‘Lord Poppadom’ twice.

She might get a 3 week suspension from the Lords.
