Wow. There is no end to her awfulness, no beginning to her talents.

Another catastrophic TV interview for failing UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch where she backed Israel’s Far Right for blocking two Labour MPs from entering the country. Deeply unserious person.

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia. Very normal administration we have here.

Reminder... We are dealing with a TRAITOR.

This, and many other Starmer 'red lines' / current Labour policies will absolutely guarantee that they're a one term government. Labour needs a dramatic change of direction. Including... 👍 Wealth tax 👍 Reverse privatisation of water utilities and NHS 👍 Customs Union, Single Market, undo Brexit

A wealth tax, as well as fairer taxes on corporate profiteers and the highest earners, would deliver far more money than any cuts to benefits and public services.

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

It was a pleasure to be out on the doorsteps of Hull with @emmahardymp.bsky.social, campaigning for Mayoral candidate for Hull and East Riding Margaret Pinder. Margaret is rooted in the area and I have every confidence she will be a testament to the local residents if she is elected in May.

It's time for a Wealth Tax in the UK. Isn't it?

At last. Tell me you have never been aware of someone not on PAYE avoiding paying tax, and you can come visit my unicorn farm. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

If it weren't for Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have another £50 billion in her purse; plenty enough to boost the NHS, welfare, and infrastructure, and allow for some tax cuts. What a happier and more optimistic Britain that would be. That's the price of the delusional idiocy of Brexit. #RejoinEU

*There is a £40 billion tax gap. *Tax fraud & avoidance is rife from the smallest sole trader to the biggest corporation *Income from property does not attract National Insurance on Landlords *177 billionaires in the UK Labour are looking the wrong way. news.sky.com/story/reeves...

Our new webapp lets you see how some UK companies use tax haven holding companies to hide their true ownership. There are, you'll be unsurprised to hear, thousands.

Ministers have pledged to “tear down” barriers to trade with the European Union after new figures showed Brexit has cost UK business a staggering £37bn a year www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Our big wins in the new Employment Rights Bill in 30 seconds. It’s all about tipping the balance back towards working people and making sure they get their fair share.

“Reeves is right to call growth our only hope. But Brexit is a great drag on that ambition. Even if the UK schmoozes itself into avoiding Trump’s v worst tariffs, the EU is still our biggest market” Denialism about the damage of Brexit is the biggest drag of all. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Schools seeing rise in special educational needs since Covid-19 - “All learning is now broken down to be SEND-inclusive. Ms Bateman insists the approach does not disadvantage pupils who do not have special educational needs.” Exactly this! www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/...

We've been calling on Government to get significant funding out for housing now rather than later. But have to say I'm genuinely surprised at the scale of this new announcement. And really pleased.

Right time for a truth bomb for you lovely people, disabled people never have, don't now, and never will get 'free cars'.

The constant refusal by UK Labour to acknowledge the severe damage inflicted on the UK by Brexit, and the bizarre creation of artificial red lines are an affront to people in possession of common sense. Get real. #RejoinEU

OK, people of Britain. We need another £40 billion a year to improve services & lives of everyone to where they should be. Should we, A) rejoin the customs union B) raise income tax by 5p. It's that simple. #RejoinEU #benefitcuts
