Alice Perry was one of Labour's top bureaucrats. Now she works for the UK's 3rd biggest private health insurance firm. Her role is to gain access to MPs and government decision-makers. 🥀💰🫰 #LabourLobbying labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2025/04/15/a...

Keir Starmer wants to jail any protestor who climbs on Churchill’s statue. It won’t be long until his Red Reform version of the Labour Party orders us all to salute the flag every morning and sing the national anthem My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

We will remember them. Before breakfast this morning, I walked to the quiet side street next to the Gare du Nord in Paris. Two war memorials commemorate railway workers who lost their lives in both world wars. #VEDay80

We welcome today's announcement to lower the train driving age from 20 to 18. Something that ASLEF has lobbied for, for many years. We're glad to see this change which brings us in line with other European countries and will help to grow and diversify the industry.

I'm now convinced that Starmer's mission is not just to keep socialists away from power but to actually destroy the Labour party and so ensure that the establishment never have to face a threat from the left again. Unless someone's got a better expanation for why he's doing what he's doing?

Walking the Stoke Saltings, a landscape of Medway saltmarsh, sheltered in the protective belly of the Hoo Peninsula. The eastern horizon is dominated by the huge Liquefied Natural Gas holders on Grain, and the gantry cranes of London Thamesport container port.

Everybody today talking about the sacrifices made in the war for our free and a proportion of them still supporting Reform who want to tear down everything people like my dad fought for. Starting with death by Brexit.

After this election disaster and the rise of Reform I wonder if Sir Keir Starmer will face some vote of no confidence and a challenge to his leadership of (what was once) the Labour party? Sadly I suspect not.

Right you lot. It's grim. Meet at Berwick Upon Tweed with saws and cutty things and separate Scotland & England before noon. No one will notice since the News will be focused on Farage. Anyone wanting to jump ship feel free to strike out & help gain independence and #RejoinEU
