I have a microscopic patch of this planet. It’s enough. Binned off the other place. So far this looks better. The natural world rules. Don’t argue with it.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Just Rosie knocking Polanski right off his populist perch.
Our Labour government ARE taxing wealth.
They ARE making the wealthiest in society pay more.
They did it in the last Budget & I expect more tomorrow.
Anyone who says it's not happening is lying to you.
Anyone who promotes phrases like 'tax billionaires' with no details is selling false hope.

Expanding free school meals is an anti-poverty, pro-learning, properly Labour policy.
We're setting up children to give school everything they've got, no matter their background.

...the PM is a good man trying to sort out the mess the Tories left behind.
But he's also gone through the loss of his brother last Christmas.
It's quote something to go through that and keep on running the country.

I'm sure I don't have to repeat the many ways the Tories destroyed me - even as far as an eviction order. Then I see Owen Jones whingeing about Starmer starving the poor, disabled & sick (me?) and I get angry!!!

Received my Winter Fuel Allowance today. £200. I don’t need it but I’d like to thank all the bleeding heart, self-proclaimed socialists for making it possible. After all, why give the really needy enough to not be needy when you can hand it out to the non-needy. Great job guys 👍

Exactly this ! It’s a trap and the holier than thou are falling for it .. unbelievably naive to think it’s anything other than that .. even Badenoch tried it yesterday and got the same sod off from Mahmood.. who actually does get it !
Are they (Reform/Robinson/Tories) applauding Mahmood because they genuinely like the policy or is it that they know "the libs" like me will be appalled to hear that they're supporting her policy & will therefore turn away from Labour to the Greens, LDs, plaid/SNP & thereby diluting the centre-Left ?

A fascinating and revealing thread.
People from mining areas don't want the pits to reopen. Mining is hard, dangerous work.
What they want is the highly paid jobs that enable their communities to flourish.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Real people in real towns are being helped by this government. Don’t let ANYONE tell you differently. Things are starting to improve and it’s the people who desperately need the help who are getting it first. Labour are transforming this country into one we can be proud of.
It’s a slow burn Marge. our money is going into low paid and our children in schools/education, EXACTLY the right targets. My 3 kids (38-43) had pay rises (and back pay) above inflation for the first time in 14 years, got help with child care, breakfast clubs and lunches as well as mortgage drops. 👍
Labour MP'S like my own doing great work locally for our communities. Just been to a local meeting he organised to engage the community re the 1.5 million our town received from the Pride in Britain fund for town centre regeneration.
Needed some normality after this week.

Waiting lists down by nearly 250,000 since Labour came to office.
🚑 Ambulance response times 10 mins faster for heart attacks & strokes than this time last year.
📈 Patient satisfaction with GPs rising.
Lots done, lots more to do, but the NHS is on the road to recovery.

This from Pete should be everyone’s mantra .. it’s perfect!
British media lied and or conspired over Hillsborough, Brexit, austerity, the Farage riots, and Gibb turning the BBC into GB News.
But trust us on evidence-free anti-Labour stories.

I like having a dull government. Rather than pandering to the frankly deranged press they just continue to get on with the bloody job.
So my second List this week. 10 this time. A total of 21 announcements or pieces of positive information by our Labour Government in 1 week. Some big news next week and more info on a better than expected OBR analysis. Well done Labour #FixingBritain

So seems Labour’s budget plans have changed because the OBR forecasts have improved e.g. the U.K. economy has improved.
This is positive news.
Too many rushed out negative hot takes this morning.

Thus is how it works Write 20 speculative budget articles. When one turns out to be right tell everyone "we told you so" and ignore the other 19. If feeling particularly malevolent claim the 19 are "U Turns". Our press are a disease.

@pippacrerar.bsky.social Here’s an actual example of news that people want to hear. Try it.
New today: Labour have cut waiting lists by 16,000 this month – meaning faster care and less worry for patients.
The past year is the first time in 15 years that waiting lists have fallen.
There's a way to go, but Labour are getting our NHS on the road to recovery.

Drip, drip, drip. More and more good news and positivity coming into the public domain. So much of it for our young people and families. This really matters. And no other Party can achieve this because they don’t look after our young. They look after their donors.
