If you consider yourself a socialist and you are not wholeheartedly supporting our current Labour government then you are condemning our country to the same debacle we are witnessing in the US. Get your head out of your arses and see the big picture before it’s too late!

Fun fact: Today is the 1 year anniversary of Farage's foreign national girlfriend Ferrari buying his house. With unexplained wealth. That should be investigated...

I've been calling for Robby Gibb to resign or be sacked by the BBC.

My apologies.

Apparently it's not "Robby", it's "Robbie".

Sorry Robbie, please resign.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Been asked for info on specific things Labour are doing for Scotland and Wales. These are not complete, many projects include one or more of the Home Nations. But it’s a few to be aware of. All searchable for the detail. Usually on Gov website.

Oh look. There really are "no go areas" in England.

And they're marked by St George's flags

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

We have another sign the Labour government is serious about the value of good quality FE.

Not only is there £800m investment, but they are creating Regional Improvement Teams to help underperforming colleges to turn things around, including breaking down barriers to opportinity for 70k students.

Interesting that the report that started the current BBC crisis was written by a Tory mate of Robby Gibb.

And then the response to the report was used (by Gibb?) to damage the BBC. 1/2

In other news, every EU nation faces an acute housing problem , shortages, high rents, meager new builds.

Their proposed solutions include most measures already included by the Uk in the already passed Labour Rent Act.

Better with Labour 👍

This is just part of Labour's £39bn vision to build the most social homes and affordable homes in more than generation.

✅ £7bn to deliver thousands of social homes across England

✅ Councils building at scale again

✅ £150m to transform brownfield sites

Since the Government came into office, Bridget Phillipson and the Department of Work and Pensions have chaired the child poverty task force which, recommends scrapping it. This, wishes from her cabinet members, and her own beliefs are likely to be what is driving Reeves to the decision.
Before Zack Polanski dares try to take credit for the abolition of the two child benefit cap that may happen in the budget, Starmer told the Treasury in May that they should scrap it. Bridget Phillipson, has indicated for a long time that it should be abolished. It was a matter of when, not if.

This Government has introduced free breakfast clubs, additional free childcare hours and increased the minimum wage, it'll be great news if they remove the 2 child cap but let's not pretend they've done nothing for the less well off.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

It’s not just the BBC Trump’s gunning for but British democracy. He wants to export his agenda and have Farage or some other puppet in power. It’s been a massive mistake for the government to treat him as friend. He is anything but. No amount of trade is worth the price he wants the country to pay

It will look at how to tackle the persistently high numbers of young people out of work, education and training, which ministers have warned is a "crisis of opportunity".

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

BBC Director General Tim Davie and news CEO Deborah Turness have both quit. Getting rid of a former Tory candidate and the woman who wanted to change output to gain the trust of Reform voters should definitely sort out any left wing bias.
