Richard Tice says Reform is moving on from "made up twaddle" about "50 years old allegations" that Nigel Farage wanted black classmates to "go back home" in an interview about Reform mayoral candidate Chris Parry, who messaged that David Lammy should "go back home".

Different day, same racism.

Sky News and BBC News must be gutted.
So in the past 24 hours ‘blue’ Labour have delivered:

The employment rights bill

The planning and infrastructure bill

Rejoining Erasmus

The Johnson/Farage Russian investigation

Inflation at 3.2%

It’s all over the headlines

but Starmer or something

“What disturbs us is less what happened years ago, hurtful as it was, but rather your refusal to acknowledge your past behaviour or apologise for it”

If Farage was made to acknowledge his past behaviour or apologise for it, his career would have ended years ago.

Well done Labour!
And just like that, the historic Employment Rights Bill lands. Sick pay from day one. Day-one parental leave. Unfair dismissal rights after six months. Ban fire-and-rehire. Bereavement leave. Protections for pregnant women. Tougher redundancy rules. Fair Work Agency to enforce rights. #ukpolitics

Great news. This opens up exciting opportunities for young people, giving Londoners, Brits & their European counterparts access to a wealth of possibilities.

At a time of global uncertainty, strengthening our partnership with the EU is a win-win for growth and prosperity 💙💛

A rare piece of good news. I shared it with my young people who are back from their first term of study and they started planning their years abroad straight away! How good it feels to prize open a bit more generous vision for their future!
Good news!🎉

The government is set to announce tomorrow that the UK will rejoin the Erasmus+ scheme from January 2027 according to reports.

Brilliant .. another Labour achievement!
Absolutely fabulous news!

The Lords have passed the Employment Rights Bill.

The 2 Houses now agree, & it can go for Royal Assent and become law.

It means the original time scale for implementation remains in place.

Amazing what the threat of extra sitting days just before Christmas can do!

One of the absolute best politicians we are blessed to have : Angela Rayner
Long may we have her to do such amazing work 👌
A big thank you to Angela Rayner for her work on 2 bills which are going for Royal Assent (likely this week).

The Employment Rights Bill
The Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Both are flagship pieces of legislation from our Labour government.

She guided both through most stages in Parliament.

A huge day for working people across the capital.

The Employments Rights Bill will end exploitative zero-house contracts, guarantee sick pay from day one and strengthen workplace protections. It shows the impact of a Government working with trade unions to improve working lives.

The Employment Rights Bill has passed. This is about good work for the many not the few:
- Exploitative zero hours contracts banned
- Sick pay extended to low earners
- Notice of shifts
- Family leave strengthened
Change promised.
Change delivered.

In a moment of extreme boredom at work I photocopied a paperclip using an entire pack of paper which I then reloaded into the copier, paperclip image right side up. I'd forgotten about this until a photocopier repair man had the machine in pieces looking for the paperclip.

Farage received £25,972 for speaking as 'the man who delivered Brexit' at a Florida Republicans fundraiser dinner in March.

Reform UK is about bringing MAGA Trumpism to our country - politics that serves the super rich & sacrifices the rest.

For people impatient for change....

...take the Sure Start Centre - accepted to be on of the last Labour government's best policies, which improved countless lives over the years.

A timeline on how many centres there were:

1997: 0
1999: 60 (policy introduced_)
2005: 500
2008: 2500
2010: 3600

It was 2 years before the policy was introduced.

It took years for the policy to grow, learn & expand.

It's how good policies tend to work.

Have patience for this Labour government. They are steadily getting on with many things.

And their best policy might not have even been announced yet!

Monday’s got off to a great start with news that Tommy Robinson is suing Nigel Farage 🤣😂👌🏼

This is definitely a case of “may it be brutal, painful, drawn out, eye wateringly expensive and neither man win” 🍿🍿🍺😄
Tommy Robinson takes legal action against Nigel Farage over 'defamatory claims'
A far-right fall-out, you say? Tommy Robinson is pursuing a legal settlement from Nigel Farage following comments made in January.

🚨 Muslim Migrant Hero risked his life to disarm a gunman murdering people at Bondi Beach, and undoubtedly saved lives 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

A headline Far Right anti migrant, Islamophobe Racists will choke on so please repost to share 🙏🏼👍🏼
Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

A true hero.

Steve Bannon’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein deserves even more scrutiny.

Every day.

Bannon has manipulated press coverage for years, even while being a superspreader for rightwing extremism and idiotic conspiracy theories.

Reporting every day. Bannon + Epstein.
