@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Why aren't you spreading headlines like this as far and as wide as possible?

The amount recouped remains a small percentage of the overall cost of asylum accommodation.

This is absolutely disgusting. Convince everyone to go greener and then tax them heavily for it! It's bad enough that they now charge, what was, the emissions tax. Think I'll switch back to a planet destroying car instead. Twats!
Rachel Reeves ‘planning pay-per-mile tax for electric vehicles in budget’

Hey @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @lucasfilm.bsky.social did any of you give permission for your (Mark Hamill's) Likeness and Voice to be used in a "Fan" remake of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy? I'm pretty sure we recently had an Actors Strike over the use of AI stealing peoples Likeness & Voices.

Bad Enoch has done it again; she's said the quiet part out loud. Imagine saying you wouldn't speak to a nun wearing a habit until she removed it!

Kemi Badenoch says she does not speak to women in burqas at constituency surgery

Look at her…
Her name is Siwar and she is 6 months old
Her tiny body desperate for food that is being deliberately held from her and countless others
By an Israeli government that couldn’t be clearer as to its aims
…and our ‘leaders’ watch on.

My local MP talking a lot of sense once again 👇🏻
Utterly wrong for Israel to have denied UK MPs entry to the country. Authoritarian states have sanctioned MPs for exercising their free speech. But this a very worrying move by a democracy and ally. Foreign Secretary should summon the Israeli Ambassador to explain.

Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed denied entry and deported from Israel
UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy reacted to news of the MPs being deported saying he had made it "clear" to his Israeli counterparts that it's "no way to treat British parliamentarians".

This Spring Statement seems to have confirmed my fears that Labour have moved from left-wing in opposition, to centrist for the election, and to right-wing as a government. 😢

@telegraphnews.bsky.social can you please tell Gavin Mairs that there actually IS relegation from the #Premiership this season. Your "chief rugby correspondent" should know this - and probably does - but facts rarely matter with you guys, do they?

‘Fun’ Premiership is letting down England, so they should pick from France
Time to consider triggering the ‘exceptional circumstances’ clause in the overseas rule – national team winning matters more than anything

At a moment when we desperately need a fragile truce to hold, Trump’s ramblings on Gaza risk having the effect of a bull in a china shop.
The UK needs to make clear that these proposals must be rejected, and that we support international law and a two state solution based on 1967 borders.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it
We cannot allow them to rewrite history.
