Kemi Badenoch on the latest budget chat: "I have never seen this level of chaos, this level of irresponsibility."

That's Kemi Badenoch who was Trade Secretary in the Truss cabinet. I mean, come on.

Spent the whole day in Sadiq Khan's "war zone" London.

Had a great time, everywhere was really busy, felt really safe and enjoyed the sights.

Don't believe the Right wing lies

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

It’s 4am and I’ve just tucked myself into bed in my (rough) motel. Tonight I had a lovely show in Louisianna. Then drove 6.5 hours (431 miles). I’m burnt out. I feel undercompensated. It’s a hard and exhausting job being a woman touring in the US alone.

When the UK was part of Europe all evils where due to Brusels policies. Now that they are out of Europe all evils are due to the people that comes in boats. Meanwhile Farage has earned £1b parading around tv shows and giving talks for fair right groups and the NHS keeps going downhill.
Brexit Damage
⬇️ GDP down 6-8%
⬇️ Investment down 12-18%
⬇️ Employment down 3-4%
⬇️ Productivity down 3-4%
Why isn't this spoken about in the lead up to the budget"

Maybe dont employ ex Tories as your CEO and you might not end up with dreadful political editors and hopefully the country will stop voting in horrendous PMs.

Boris Johnson and Brexit should have never happened if the BBC had good political editors.

A key message for Starmer's version of a Labour government.
The likes of Nigel Farage only offer fear and despair. To defeat that we must offer hope with policies to fix the problems in the country.

The Government has revealed plans for a new mandatory digital ID. It’s invasive and could mean millions of people unable to go about their daily lives. Right now it's just an idea - we need to stop it becoming a reality. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Dear Reforms & Tories

I remember.

My grandfathers fought in WW1, one was injured at the Somme.
My father and his brothers fought in WW2. My dad helped liberate Italy.

Today's Reform and Conservative parties embody the very things they were fighting against.

So, kindly go fuck yourselves.

If you are a decent person how can you still be a member of the Labour Party? Your party is supporting the despicable genocidal state of Israel.
Report after report, all verified by proper journalists, of serious violence, torture, rape and other human rights abuses in Israeli detention centres - and not the mildest words of condemnation from anyone remotely close to government.
