INCREDIBLE clip.

<Richard Holden MP shouts like an angry man in a pub>

Lisa Nandy: "Can you calm down a bit, mate? You're shouting like an angry man in a pub."

Richard Holden: "That's not fair."

No, they love all the drama. They adored the Tories because they were always getting rid of their leaders. That’s why they keep asking if Labour will change leaders. They have the attention span of toddlers with ADHD.

My sincere thanks to Peers for completing their scrutiny of the Renters’ Rights Bill yesterday.

With no Lords amendments coming back to the Commons, the Bill will soon receive Royal Assent allowing us to transform the experience of private renting for millions of tenants.

The worst thing about Kemi Bad Enoch being terrible is that the Tories would replace her if they had someone better but they haven't.

Badenoch: Cheese or ham?

Starmer: Cheese

Badenoch: Ahhh, but is it cheese or ham? I smell a stitch-up!?

Starmer: Cheese.

Badenoch: But which is it?

Starmer: Cheese

Badenoch: At last, an answer. But I'm still unclear?

Starmer: Cheese

Do Badenoch's SPADs tell her the truth after yet another disastrous PMQs performance or do they lie to her and tell her she was great ?

It didn’t, because it barely happened. What was far more common was ‘yes, you’re right, your concerns are legitimate,’ and ‘let’s take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit’ and ‘make Brexit work’.

The idea that everyone called Brexiters stupid racists is, frankly, utter bollocks.

If Israel wanted the hostages to be easily found and identified, they shouldn’t have carpet bombed most of Gaza. There are probably a lot of bodies of Palestinians, men women and children that might be dug out of the rubble and wrongly identified as hostages.

Look, vote to beat Labour at the next general election if you wish and if you're comfortable with a far-right government, but don't make yourself look entirely ridiculous by saying you're doing it because, above all else, you want the UK to rejoin the EU.

A little thread 🧵 to the strange "EAT CROW!" crowd, who seem to think every person left of Genghis Khan is incapable of giving credit to Trump and direct much of their triumphalism to this fictional group: Most people I know, who are critical of Trump, have given him credit for getting us here. 1/

Trump has a very simple worldview: the Presidency is not a public office, it is his property. He can use it to satisfy his personal or partisan whims, or to enrich himself.

So here, he threatens to reorganize an international competition, cohosted by Mexico and Canada, to settle a vendetta.

I absolutely agree with this👇🏼👇🏼

Vets bills have rocketed by 50-60% since 2015 was £1,000 to have a bad tooth out for our dog (doesn’t cost anyway near that for humans) and with other treatment despite insurance we got a £3,000 bill

A driver has been Corporations buying up vets to fleece owners❗️😡

Vets should be made to publish prices, competition watchdog says

Vet prices have risen at nearly twice the rate of inflation, the Competition and Markets Authority found.
