Labour is fundamentally re-engineering Britain. It’s become almost impossible to do basic things like building homes or fitting a heat pump. Now a flurry of new laws are ending that era of national self-sabotage. 5 examples to be excited about:

People who attack higher education, arguing for more vocational education, do fuck all to deliver vocational education. The Tories had a good idea (a training levy) and ended up with fewer apprentice starts than the Coalition. Also apprenticeships are just one model of vocational training.

The thing is, a lot of people who support Farage don't care he doesn't do his job. They want an entertainer, someone who will insult other nations. As long as he keeps doing that they adore him. We need to accept a lot of Brits are shitty people, not suckered marks.

So.... the fact that Trump's tariffs have been ruled to be unlawful, but the UK did a deal with him based on those tariffs being horrible..... is that deal valid? I'm pretty sure under English law it bloody wouldn't be!

From The Guardian. As with the Leave side’s Brexit promises, Farage doesn’t mention the cost downsides of his policies. However, since Brexit, we’ve felt the effects of the Truss lunacy. Will voters be taken in again? An astute move by Starmer to mention her chaos.

Be under no illusion: abortion rights in the UK are under attack, and we must be unequivocal in our response. There are two amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill which would decriminalise abortion. We need this now more than ever.

Forcing universities to be ‘in sync’ with the administration is the opposite of academic freedom. This government is the opposite of a free speech champion.

The case for using "global majority" by institutions should be rejected unless + until it can be shown - most people understand what it means (most don't) - most people it is about would like it used (most don't) I find it a deeply incoherent fiction + a highly regressive term in some many ways

The Guardian and others fawning over Farage, my MP, today - sucking up every word - is miserable. Why would we care what he'd do if he's PM? He won't be - he won't even be MP for Clacton after 2029. Did any journalists in the room today ask what he's doing for us? Views on low-income housing, Nigel?

Has #BBCNews reported on Nigel Farage's tax dodge using his French girlfriend yet? They broadcasted his stupid speech for an hour, today, but they don't investigate him. They just investigate Keir Starmer's suits. We have a truly dreadful TV news media. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

By talking about encouraging larger families Farage is admitting we don't have sufficient 'british' workers and therefore we require immigration. I doubt any of the BBC's toadying journalists will pick up on that. #r4today
