It seems surprising that the Shadow Attorney-General Lord Wolfson is able to combine being on Roman Abramovich's legal team in such a high profile case about the frozen assets of a key Putin ally, while also attending the Shadow Cabinet (The Times)

The Tories’ Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson, is representing Roman Abramovich in a legal case that is delaying the transfer of £2.5bn of assets to benefit the people of Ukraine.

I’ve written to Kemi Badenoch about the conflicts of interest this raises. 👇

The Conservative Party is simultaneously arguing people shouldn’t be jailed for social media posts directly calling for violence, but also that people’s citizenship should be revoked over social media posts they don’t like.

Make it make sense.

“Persuasion UK presented one group with the findings I revealed last year – that, between 2019 and 2024, Reform received more than 90% of its funding, £2.3 million, from individuals and companies linked to polluting industries and climate science denial.”

Please keep in mind that Zia Yusuf's only job at Reform UK is as a paid liar. He's unable to lie straight in bed.

This is another policy announcement based in fantasy that they know can never be enacted, but it's a good bit of red meat to their slavering, gammon stuffed fan base after Xmas.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable.

We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

I saw triumphant posts from racists a few days ago about "800 migrants arriving in boats" (which somehow negated 28 days with zero arrivals)😏

They didn't point out, however, the 12 boats arriving that week were outweighed by the 14 prevented under Labour's agreement with France
