For those wondering…or judging…I’m not sure there are any words that adequately express the shame, embarrassment and disappointment of having given your all as a Labor staffer bc you truly believed they would at least try to give our kids a decent future.

The UK is one of the richest nations in the world. Yet so many people struggle to make ends meet, to stay housed, warm, well fed. It doesn't have to be like this! Are you sick of Labour making excuses about self-imposed #fiscalrules🤨and #DifficultDecisions🙄 ? #TaxWealthNotWork #BackZack

Guess we could just accept massive inequality and poverty... Or we could start taxing the richest 1% so we can invest in public services and help those struggling to pay rent, feed their families and heat their homes 🌍

Good old @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social, back on his shit "protecting women" again. £100m promised for maternity safety annually after Shrewsbury & Telford NHS delivered dangerous care. But Wes has changed it so only £2m is guaranteed now. Bet his private health mates get the rest. #Labour

I'm not a Green voter (don't live in England - although I joined the Green Party in 1988!), but I do think this is correct. We need less, much less, kowtowing to corporations.

Sea shanty concert last night. Sloop Groggy Dogs at the Bedford Corn Exchange in aid of the RNLI and others. Great singers and really enjoying themselves. The packed audience joined in with great enthusiasm. This was their display at the front of the stage. Love the seagull.

🎥 Watch our crew in action (1/2) Our volunteers were paged recently to help two first-time paddleboarders who were blown a mile out to sea by strong offshore winds in #Brighton. No lifejackets. No experience. Both were rescued and taken to hospital as a precaution.

So Nigel Farage has replaced Boris Johnson as the MP trousering the most money from other jobs. Farage has pocketed over £570,000 in outside income in just six months. I brought a Bill to ban all MPs' Second Jobs. I'll keep pushing to end this racket once and for all.

The Vietnamese allied with US to fight Japan. USA gave their country to France. Iran had a democratically elected prime minister. He wanted to nationalise oil. USA replaced him with the Shah & his secret police. The people in desperation turned to Islamic extremists. It has always been America 1st.

🌍 "Labour’s ‘red lines’ on its relationship reset with the European Union, including no return to the Single Market or the EU Customs Union, must now be revisited and revised. The reasons why will not have escaped the Chancellor’s notice, even if she does not want to look in their direction."

My government has a choice: stand with private equity firms raking in billions from our water - or stand with ordinary people and bring it back into public hands. The privatised water experiment has failed, everyone sees it. 82% of Brits want water back in public hands. #water #sewagecrisis

My ex had some fairly unpleasant views about 'illegals' and 'boat people', one of the many reasons he's an ex, so when we split up I commemorated our relationship by donating to RNLI. His name is now written on a lifeboat based on the south coast.

🚨NHS dental charges to rise by 2.3% from 1 April 2025. These are stealth cuts, that won't put an extra penny into a service on the brink. Send a message to Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting. 👉 https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/scrap-the-nhs-dentistry-price-hike

I hope the right wing nutters who trashed the RNLI reflect on their stupidity as they watch coverage of the collision in the North Sea. The RNLI and their volunteers represent the country at its best.

Some in Labour HQ may want to reflect on this - here’s a policy which has drastically improved air quality, benefitting the poorest citizens. But Starmer’s LOTO started criticising it because a couple of Clarkson bigmouths complained in focus groups & they (wrongly imho) blamed it for Uxbridge loss

Different way to spend an evening? Book for this sea shanty concert by the Sloop Groggy Dogs. Bedford Corn Exchange 7.30pm on the 25th of April. It should be an amusing night out and at the same time you'll be supporting the Lifeboats as RNLI will receive a third of the income from this event.

If we could power the National Grid from Reform hypocrisy then we’d be set for life. It’s not just their hypocrisy which is staggering, but the sheer stupidity of their policies which would undermine Britain’s energy security and make us far more dependent on Putin’s Russia.
