A Labour manifesto promise was to introduce expert domestic abuse specialists to 999 control rooms to offer support to call handlers, carry out risk assessments, support police on the ground and help victims access specialist support services. Today, the first of these specialists are in place!

President Trump is reportedly "very frustrated" with Ukrainian President Zelensky due to "the fact he hasn’t come to the table" according to US national security advisor Michael Waltz. It's hard to come to a table when you weren't invited and actively excluded from it! Please stop this absurdity!

Disappointed to hear Ed Davey using the term Family Farm Tax to describe the very favourable IHT terms available to agricultural land. There are lots of small family run businesses in the UK, chippies, corner shops etc, they aren't exempt from IHT and don't have favourable terms.

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead. Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth.

Thames Water made dividend payments of £37.5m in October 2023 and £158.3m in March 2024. (Source: Ofwat). Tory privatisation of water services has been catastrophic for bill payers, and worst of all, for the environment. Bring utilities back into public ownership! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Well let’s face it Farage showed the same degree of economic ignorance as Truss when he raved about her budget👇🏼😂 So any policies of his will have more flaws than diet water❗️🙄

#Thames water can fuck off. Raising bills for the debt they got into to pay higher dividends is bad business. It's a monopoly when we have no choice. It's a racket. Ok luckily I am not a customer but as a citizen, I am allowed an opinion.

I'm not saying our political standards have dropped, but 32 years ago David Mellor had to resign for banging his mistress in a fictional Chelsea shirt. Today, that'd be a viral tiktok, and he'd get a standing ovation from Reform MPs when he walked into the HOC.

Brexiters put the frighteners up the Tory leadership during the 2010s by voting for the Farage party in local and EU elections. We Rejoiners must do the same to Starmer by voting for pro-EU parties in the local elections. We've talked the talk. Now, let's walk the walk by voting. #VoteRejoin

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

OTD in 2015 we learned from a leading journalist that a body with hands tied behind its back & a bullet in its skull is "evidence of bugger all". Just a small drop of journalistic urine helping to fill the well of apathy as I continue to execute POWs 10 years later. Aged well, didn't it

The Guardian has a very negative article, attacking the Labour breakfast clubs, only mentioning at the end the current plans are a 'test & learn' approach to gather evidence & feed into plans for a wider role out. Why be so negative? Why not use it for constructive input into the long term plans?

Dear BBC Two NATO members are NOT 'feuding over territory'. One NATO member ie The USA in the person of its President, Trump, has threatened the sovereign territory of not one but TWO NATO members ie Denmatk (Greenland) and Canada. Words matter especially in cases like this.
