This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

That's Nigel "Twelve Jobs, Four Homes and a Chauffeur driven BMW" Farage to you !

Paul Singh @paulsingh.bsky.social · 18h

Labour need to shouting this from the roof tops.

They need to be challenging Farage over his multiple jobs.
They need to be challenging Reform over their tex exile donor base.
They need to be challenging Reform policies at every opportunity.

Really interesting- and, I think, welcome- to see MPs sharing this kind of data about casework.

Casework is largely invisible (other than to the constituents it helps!) compared to what MPs do in the Commons chamber but is a huge part of MPs’ workload, and it’s really hard to get robust data on it

The Conservatives sat back and allowed homelessness to double.

Labour will not stand idly by and allow that to continue.

They are investing £1 billion to give homeless people security and get back on track to end homelessness for good.

Slightly amazed at his description of this as a ‘low-level mistake’. Just a completely untrue implication of Government corruption on prime-time TV. No biggie! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Fantastic comments from the audience on #bbcqt.

Politicians should take note and stop stoking division and fear.

"The vast majority of people in this country live very happily and very peacefully together." 👏

Making things up eh.

There is no massive digital ID contract for the private sector
Labour are not revisiting the decision on new North Sea licences
The Palantir contract to run the NHS Federated Data Platform was awarded in 2023.

Revisiting the decision on new North Sea O&G licences; massive ID card contract for private sector; medical data and Palantir; "investment" in massive AI circle jerk bubble by Microsoft and Oracle; unnecessary Gatwick expansion...

Why do you have to make things up?
