My Dad died 15 months ago & spent last year of his life in a London nursing home. He was bed bound, blind, deaf, with dementia and various health issues. Almost all his carers & nurses were non UK born and they were all brilliant. They treated my mother like family (and still do to this day) 1/3

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger Win the fight

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

Just 13% of homes built in England and Wales in 2024 had heat pumps installed (58% had gas boilers). New homes are by far the easiest part of the home heating puzzle to solve; regulations that prevent the installation of high-carbon heating in new homes should be a Government priority.

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit. It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship. #RejoinEU

A trade deal with the US could be hugely beneficial, but it must be properly scrutinised to ensure it doesn't threaten our NHS, undermine farmers, or give tax cuts to US tech billionaires. If the deal is in our national interest, the Government shouldn't be afraid to put it to a vote in Parliament.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Brexiter Steve ‘hard man’ Baker says Labour’s trade deal with India is great news, “furthering free trade in the national interest outside the EU” But Steve doesn’t say that a customs union deal with the EU would be 20 times bigger. Or, of course, what Tory EU-phobia has already cost us.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

@labourlewis.bsky.social Are there other labour MPs speaking sense to Keir Starmer other than you? Someone needs to be really clear with him that if we wanted to vote for a RW populist party, we'd have voted reform. We didn't. We want more fairness,less division, more net zero and more EU links🙏🙏🙏

Farage and Reform whip up people’s prejudices, then offer to get rid of what they hate.Their power feeds off ignorance and hatred. They make people angrier about the stuff they fear, then promise to fix it. Of course they won’t. But they know who to tell you to blame when they fail. (Letters, Times)

What we're seeing at a local level could easily repeat itself at the next general election. Imagine waking up in 2029 to a government supported by less than 30% of the public. This is an emergency. We must scrap First Past the Post before it completely destroys our democracy.

3 elections in as many weeks. Centre left parties in two of them take on populist right and win, in 3rd they emulate populists and lose. Could there be a lesson here? And is there even a remote chance U.K. Labour might see it?
