Last night I voted for the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.
Today, this Labour government is one step closer to delivering it👇🏻

Farage at his press conference: “Free speech does not include incitement to kill.”
Fully agree. But then why did he invite a woman who called for people to burn down hotels with migrants inside to speak at his conference?

If you're considering calling it quits, just hang on. It may not seem like it right now, but better things are waiting for you just around the corner.
Please have a chat with someone you know, or give the Samaritans a bell on 116 123 (they're really lovely).
You matter.

What utter dickheads we are…
Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal
Farage and his MPs voted it down
Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty
Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on
The mega wealthy win again.

Wonderful demolition of Farage the free speech imposter from @raskin.house.gov - thank you!

Whilst there are issues with the immigration system, can we not at least agree that creating return deals with the Taliban of all people could be politely described as sociopathic? (As well as several less polite descriptions…)

Utter garbage. She was a prisoner, nothing political about it. Reasonable people can disagree on any given sentence but the facts are clear:
- she incited serious violence
- PM did exactly nothing
- she went to jail because of what SHE did: committing a crime + pleading guilty
- she incited serious violence

This is their priority??? Ridiculous time-wasting nonsense just to try and throw some red meat to their base, just making them look petty and ridiculous (setting aside arguments about county flags, social issues and solidarity with Ukraine).

Most people see Musks activities at Doge as a disaster, causing untold problems to America. Farage sees them as inspiration. Never let him forget this.

Lots of new initiatives that just make sense (and make the country safer and greener in particular).

It’s actually incredible just how bad their media management is. I’m sure it plays well with the MAGA loyalists, but the election is over . All they’re doing is ensuring that this story stays in the public eye for longer.

Discrediting the messenger, rather than focusing on the message is order of day for Trump White House
"Team Trump has adopted a crisis management strategy of attack, discredit and distract", writes Sky's US correspondent Martha Kelner.

Horrifying to see the news in Gaza this morning. I don’t know how we get the ceasefire back in place after this, let alone a two state solution, but it’s imperative we do both urgently for the civilians caught in the middle of this devastation.
