Across Bristol, people are at breaking point

Bills keep going up. Rents are spiralling. Families are struggling to put food on the table.

This must be a cost-of-living budget to make our system fairer and, most importantly, to make life affordable again

Massive support from councillors and council leaders (from all parties except Reform) for new Mayors to have clear climate and nature duties.

My crucial amendment to the Govt's Devolution Bill will be debated today - will your MP support it?

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not.

He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.

Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes."

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

I don't think many of us will be surprised by the conclusions of this part of the Covid enquiry:

The government was unprepared and responded ineptly and this may have resulted in 23,000 unnecessary deaths

Among other topics, we discuss the sale of children in care.
They're worth roughly £100k each. The profit you can extract by sending them across the country to the cheapest housing in derelict places, cutting them off from all hope and contact, is off the scale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xx6...

Reform are whipping up anti-immigrant hatred, and Labour are just following along in their wake.
What exactly is the difference between this Labour government and Reform?

Starmer's handing Farage everything he wants and throwing asylum seekers under the bus in the process.

It's time we had a real alternative.
