Keir Starmer says the govt must be clear about what its achieved already.
Sided with the profiteering energy & water companies ripping us off. Introduced a new wave of PFI to rip us off some more. More money on weapons while demonising the disabled. Supported & armed a genocide.

The bombing of Venezuela is an act of aggression: unprovoked, unjustified and unjustifiable.

Chris Mason is what happens when a Hospital Radio DJ, whose sole qualification appears to be a sort of soporific inoffensiveness, is somehow promoted to BBC Politics Editor - a position that demands unflinching insight, objectivity, and sharpness. It's like a puddle trying to be the ocean.

Whether or not there’s a ceasefire it makes no difference to the fact; our government must cut all ties with Israel, must sanction Israel. It’s nothing more than a cruel terrorist rogue state.

@matthew-wright.bsky.social I’m disappointed that I listened to your show on catchup today and couldn’t phone in because I spent the last 45 minutes shouting at the radio “for gods sake it’s neoliberalism, not migrants, that’s why everyone is so skint and everything is falling apart”

Government’s concessions over welfare cuts leave chancellor with a growing hole in her budget
Rachel Reeves is expected to extend a freeze on income tax thresholds to raise fresh funds after the government’s U-turn on welfare cuts left her with a growing budget hole.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

I’m old enough to remember authoritarian regimes banning blackberry messenger in the 2010s. We all called it out as _ a government crackdown on privacy. I never would have expected back then that 15 years later the UK under a #Labour government would be in the same position. #ADP

I used to get so frustrated watching some Tory minister doing the Sunday rounds and refusing to answer any questions at all. It’s so refreshing now to see a Labour minister refusing to answer any questions instead.
