It's curious how many Labour politicians who appear to bat for the Tories or even further right seem to end up in the Lords: Kate Hoey, John Mann, Gisela Stuart, Ian Atkins to name a few

When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna.

Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up.

Like if you want Mone on trial.
RT if you want them both facing the music.

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

Time to recirculate this…there’s plenty our govts could do to stop the famine, death and destruction. Wringing hands and issuing strong statements doesn’t cut it.

Alex Hall Hall @alexhh.bsky.social · Jun 29

Rant alert. Mega rant alert. How about our leaders stop wringing hands, issuing feeble denunciations, and actually DO something? Stop the moral equivalency. Stop pretending we’re helpless. There’s plenty we could do if genuinely committed. Here’s some suggestions for starters. 🧵

It’s bloody ridiculous. And a total abdication of the media’s responsibility to scrutinise and inform. Instead, they grab for headlines, sensationalise and give out free passes like smarties to a ‘party’ fronted by grifting liars, with a joke manifesto and a track record of taking the piss.

By any measure this was a good result for Keir Starmer's party. Yet that was not how it was reported.
"Labour's by-election win is no victory for Starmer" instead claimed the Times, in a
headline that appears to have redefined what the word "victory" actually means.
"Rather, once again it is Reform's political prospects that now look brighter."
So when Labour wins, it's actually a defeat, but when Reform loses it's actually a victory.
Heads Reform wins, tails Labour loses.

Good letter, though a tad disappointing not to see my MPs signature on it @annadixonmp.bsky.social

Andrew Lewin MP @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social · Apr 23

The full text of our letter to Nick Thomas-Symonds is below.

Grateful to Labour colleagues from communities across the country for their support.

I am very optimistic that there is a stronger UK/EU deal to be done on defence, trade and a visa based youth mobility deal.

Generative AI is melting our only planet.

Don’t use it.

ChatGPT wastes 10x the amount of water as Google.

And last year, Google was in talks to purchase 8 nuclear reactors in order to power their own AI.

This is not sustainable.

Stop using it today. It’s literal Earth Day.

Local elections have low turnouts. The way to swing the results against Farage is to get good people off their sofas and into the polling stations.

If you're angry with Labour then there are the LibDems and Greens.

Abstaining helps the fascists.

Starmer wrote in the Express that he is against restoring Freedom of Movement.

Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.

We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.
