A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

Lizzi, as ever, is correct. This was just Parliamentary theatre from Farage. We shouldn’t give him what he wants by pretending it was at all serious.
10 Minute Rule Bills are a good way of drawing attention to an issue that wouldn’t otherwise be debated but they’ve zero chance of ever becoming law.

The Tory plan to copy Idi Amin, the cannibal, and deport millions of legally resident people, nurses, doctors, teachers, mums, engineers etc., was hatched in May and no-one noticed until October.
Boy, they are so fucked.

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

Starmer isn't moving to the right, raising minumum wage, free breakfast clubs, additional free childcare, Employment Rights bill, renationalising rail, Better Start programmes, VAT on private school fees 50% rise in APD for private jets and so much more are not remotely right wing policies.

Well, it’s up Labour and their 400 MPs to make sure that this is fully exposed and the main talking point on every politics show. They should be asking questions in Parliament too. And I thought that this is the sort of thing that should be planted as a Q during PMQs too.

I'd be a lot happier if I was offered the choice between tax rises or a return to the customs union and the single market.
