Patel. Braverman. Shapps. Braverman (again). Cleverly. Cooper. 6 years of Home Secretaries from both tired old parties demonising migrants. 6 years of refusing to face up to the consequences of their austerity. 6 years of protecting the interests of the powerful and wealthy

Lots of talk lately about why young people are losing faith in democracy - but when mainstream politicians sit back and shrug their shoulders in the face of environmental crisis and declining living standards, can we really be surprised? www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/lets-p...

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

Good to see him challenged. Six times he's asked how he'd improve a deal he admits needs improving. All he can say is "we can be friendly". Finally, his response to majority who want closer relations with EU is: "Let's do a deal with the US." A deal that's not on the table. More magical cake. ~AA

Incredibly disappointed that MPs didn’t get the chance to vote on the Climate and Nature Bill - a crucial piece of legislation to prevent climate breakdown and protect our natural world. But thanks to all those who backed it - I'll keep fighting for urgent climate action #CANBill

A vote for this bill is a vote for a liveable future & I urge every single MP to join me in passing this historic piece of legislation. Those who vote against must look to their consciences & ask why they're prepared to squander this historic opportunity #CANBill www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What is the point of this Labour government? They are completely lacking in ambition and courage. It's nauseating and deeply disappointing. Write to your Labour MPs urging them to support the bill and to insist on a free unwhipped vote. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In spite of being a Baroness, I think the honours system is barking mad, lodged in a medieval miasma of royal privilege and abuse, and often pointless. However, I do congratulate Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk on his knighthood!

This is Lord Rothermere the owner of the Daily Mail. He lives in a massive mansion in the English countryside, but he pays no tax here because he identifies as French. While the Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and pays no tax anywhere. That is his ‘Patriotism’.

Actually staggering that this foghorn of failure should continue to speak in public, let alone consider himself entitled to comment on what Labour may or may not renegotiate on HIS unforgivably dismal, relentlessly crappy Brexit deal. Unless he’s apologising for that, he can stfu forever, frankly.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents. It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years. There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Nick Candy says he will raise more than £40 million to make Nigel Farage Prime Minister. Oh ok. That’s how it’s going to work now, is it? Democracy torched by spoiled brat billionaires buying power for themselves and their arsehole mates. It couldn’t be more critical for us all that they fail.

I predict Gregg Wallace's next move will be to claim he's been cancelled by the "woke brigade" & reinvent himself as a right-wing conspiracy theorist "man of the people". Perhaps as a presenter on GB News, or with his own YouTube channel. See also Neil Oliver, Russell Brand, etc.

Clinicians are doing far too much admin work in the NHS, which is hugely inefficient. If politicians want to rebuild the service, we need to look at the systems used and employ more support staff to do valuable work to free up doctors, nurses and other NHS staff to focus on patients. 💙

In 1970 the richest 1% had about 4x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% had about 30x. Now the richest 1% have 12x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% have 1000x. This is the problem.
