There is no going back now...

This is what I have been building towards for the last few months. This took all of my soul and then some to write. Spent many hours shedding a tear recounting what actually happened...

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this.

At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Now it’s actually going to arrive sooner but still, if it wasn’t for Jess’s quick thinking, I’d never have reached my 33rd birthday

So, Jess Phillips needlessly smeared, but more importantly the enquiry itself has been compromised by the Facist Frog? And people want to vote for this creep?

I don’t know who is going to be more emotional at the last part of the present to arrive, @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social or me because I never anticipated reaching the month of my 33rd birthday which is when it’ll now arrive next week 😭

@politicalhackuk.bsky.social last part of last weeks little pick me up present for the boss to arrive on Friday. It’s coming to me first so I can make sure it works

Good to see @dailymail.co.uk @thetimes.com and @telegraphnews.bsky.social all delete their articles - sad the lies went up in the first place

Torsten Bell @torstenbell.bsky.social · 4d

Totally untrue garbage from @thetimes.com & @dailymail.co.uk today - smear dressed up as journalism. Some facts:
- There is no “£900 desk”
- my constituency office has Ikea desks/chairs
- we significantly underspent the new MPs allowance to set up an office
www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Treasury minister leading budget plans spent £900 on desk

Torsten Bell, who is working with Rachel Reeves to fill a £30 billion hole in finances, also used his parliamentary expenses to claim £600 for three chairs

I’m looking to hire a constituency support worker who is passionate about supporting people, not just looking for a job in politics.

If @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social was a bad person like the loony lot from the right claim, then why did she do this? Why did she offer to talk to @allymcgovern.bsky.social when I was being isolated by my CLP? Someone explain that one to me? Jess has only ever been the most compassionate person to me

I admire @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social and she knows it. She’s done more for me than those who should have been supporting me have done. I admire her that much, that I made her the focal point of a blog I wrote
