Why do BBC give Laura Kuenssberg free rein to write this drivel? "The big picture is tough. The country's debts are massive and taxes are huge." It's not even wrong/biased. It's just vacuous twaddle that adds absolutely nothing to public understanding of the issues. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some medical staff slept in hospitals overnight so they would be ready to deal with the fall out of Storm Éowyn. Please remember this the next time politicians tell you health workers don’t deserve a pay rise.

I'm sorry but if you turn up at a Food Bank to cheer King Charles turning up in a helicopter, and you are paying for it all. You are part of the problem.

Nothing says 'the continued relevance of monarchy' quite like a billionaire, English, unelected king, dressed up as a Scottish laird, turning up at a food bank in a helicopter

Those who follow me know I’ve been calling out lies & challenging misinformation for many years. But even at its worst I’ve never known it this bad. I know many are feeling hopeless right now. But that’s what they want - to wear you down & make you give up. Don’t let them. We can beat this, TOGETHER

A good question from @thedauk.bsky.social Why do we have a desperate shortage of GP’s when there are 3,500 under and unemployed GP’s? It makes no sense dauk.org/work-with-gp...

Israeli press reporting the gov is closing the Israeli embassy in Dublin due to Irish gov interventions over the war in Gaza. Ireland is one of the lone voices in the West - along with Spain, Slovenia & Belgium, criticising the apocalyptic cruelty in Gaza.

With its bombing of Syria, Israel has now attacked five countries in just 12 months - Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran (I’m half-remembering a strike at a base in Iraq but can’t be certain.) Trying to think how unusual that number is. Probably goes back to WWII for something similar?

Labour's Plan for Change aligns with their manifesto. The strong foundations were all mentioned in the 'Strong foundations' chapter. The five missions are then the next 5 chapters of the manifesto. For people to suggest they are new or confusing is misleading or showing ignorance.

I was at an incredibly moving and upsetting session in the House of Commons today where MPs heard from a group of professionals including doctors, nurses and humanitarian organisers describing their first hand experience of the abhorrent situation in Gaza 🛢️ 1/...

1/ On Monday David Lammy went to lunch with Labour Friends of Israel & posed for photos with Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely. Hotovely has said every school, mosque & 2nd house in Gaza is a target for the IDF. Asked if that means destroying all of Gaza, she said: “Do you have another solution?”

Mick Lynch went on Question Time once and destroyed the Conservatives, he was never invited on again. Nigel Farage has been on 38 times, but has never impressed anybody.

Proportional Representation won a vote in the Commons 138-136 today. If the UK had Proportional Representation it wouldn't have had a Conservative Government since 1930. Instead it has had 70 years of them. Time to get PR done.

It has now officially been two weeks since the last small boat was recorded arriving in the UK. The 16th Nov was the last date and every day up to 30th Nov had 0 arrivals. This coincides with the arrest of the man responsible for supplying a large number of the boats was arrested on the 14th Nov.

I'm glad European nations are stepping-up their support for Ukraine's defence against Russian invaders. 🌻 I just wish they'd show similar support for Palestine's defence against Israeli invaders in both the #WestBank and #Gaza. 😔 #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

Here' an idea ... 👇👇👇 The EU and UK are set to review the Brexit deal in 2026. So why not hold a new Brexit referendum before that, in 2025? That way, the government can find out exactly what the public's position is after 10 years of Brexit. #RejoinRef 🇬🇧🇪🇺
