❗️Keir Starmer's government is taking state secrecy to a new level. It is now refusing to even disclose which countries' militaries the Ministry of Defence trains. To protect "national security". #DCUKparliament

I'll be voting against the welfare reform bill on Tuesday. We don’t have a sufficient impact assessment. We haven’t properly consulted disabled people. These proposals don’t reflect Labour values. The PM must show strength by pausing the bill. Reform must be done with dignity.

While child poverty rose in the UK, in Scotland it fell by 12% since 2017. We must go even further. To give every child the best start in life, we’re taking real action: ✅ Delivering the Scottish Child Payment ✅ Expanding free school meals ✅ Ending the two-child cap news.stv.tv/scotland/dro...

Starmer will join Boris Johnson in having won a large, effectively meaningless, majority in the Commons and not seeing out his term. No one will mourn his departure, except Morgan McSweeney, maybe, although I am sure Farage has a job lined up for him.

In social media post Donald Trump has called on Israel to cancel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing trial - the next hearing for which is scheduled on Monday - calling it a "witch hunt" and dismissing the severity of the charges. In other countries we’d call this corruption.

A lot of talk about Lander's solidarity as a Jew with Mamdani who is Muslim. But back here we are also seeing so many Muslim Green councillors endorsing Zack Polanski who is Jewish. They might try to divide people but the reality is most people don't go by these toxic rhetoric. They're a minority.

England council tax arrears hit £6.6bn. Bills rising at inflation-busting rates, central govt funding cut. Services cut. Nearly 70% of council budget goes to social care, should be centrally funded. Useless council tax bands - rich pay lower proportion of income in tax than the poor.

May 2025: median wage of a UK worker, £30,252; net £25,293. In 2024 (2025?) a single person needed to earn £28,000 for minimum acceptable standard of living; £69,400 for a couple with two children. Low incomes, unchecked profiteering blights life. 50 families have more wealth than 34m Britons.

Ruthless pursuit of disabled people has damaged Labour. With a huge parliamentary majority Starmer, could have undone the Tory years. Instead, pursuing Tory policies. Huge own goal. Severely disabled and ill people are going to be starved, isolated and degraded. Tell your MP to oppose the Bill.
