Last minute compromise over disability benefits cuts may have saved Starmer, but rebels' climbdown suggests they only care about their seats | Jennie Kermode @jenniekermode.bsky.social @northwestbylines.co.uk

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

Starmer is a charlatan devoid of principles or decency. The only values he appears to have involve hurting the weak, grovelling to the rich and powerful and silencing dissent. He is dangerous, amoral and unfit to lead My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

If as PM says it’s a “moral argument” surely it would make more sense to ask someone who can afford to spend $50 million on a wedding to contribute more instead of forcing future disability claimants, many of whom will already be living in poverty into deeper hardship & despair?

Just like our politicians and their donors planned... We can no longer vote our way out of this. Britain is not a democracy.

This is now just a complete farce. Any MP with a brain or an ounce of decency will vote this idiotic mess down. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Great idea, employ a failed reject on huge unmerited salary then a year later we'll be told "lessons will be learned" www.heraldscotland.com/news/2527221...

Too little, too late. Labour the brand is now almost as toxic as Starmer is personally. I would struggle to argue that things aren't now worse than under Sunak. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Manipulative lies, but it's exactly what the country needs to get rid of the worst PM since Loopy Liz. news.sky.com/story/reveal...

Vassal state? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

It's not the people in small boats destroying this country. It's the people in large yachts. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ju...

They walk away with gilded pensions after causing harm and wasting public money—offering only apologies. Where’s the top international skills we're always told we need to attract with exorbitant salaries and bonuses from public money? We need real consequences. news.stv.tv/politics/for...

But will they be concessions to backtrack on the cruelty and punishment of the most vulnerable or bribes to improve the personal wealth and career prospects for MPs to persuade them to throw disabled people under the bus? news.stv.tv/politics/min...

The wealthy lifestyle, perks, and expenses obviously caused her to quickly and selfishly forget her working class past - treacherous scab. www.theguardian.com/politics/vid...

Looks like there may actually be some remnants of decency remaining in the Labour Party. Let's hope they hold firm and don't bend to threats or bribes from Starmer or his attack dogs. Opposition MPs should all jump on this and defeat this vile government. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#AyeWelcomeRefugees I welcome everyone... Except Nigel Farage. That glaikit wee gomeral's erse is oot the windae

Wheeling guns and rockets through the streets is so banana republic. This is a military parade 👇 youtu.be/igyRZibN9XU?...

Because this is what the USA has become and where England is on a journey to. Corporate greed, corruption, continuous growth and profit over absolutely everything else. People no longer matter, except in terms of their profit making resource. Scotland must disengage and follow a different path.

I'm not one to miss a hashtag opportunity 😜 #NoKings

I’m so sad to learn of the death of Geoff Palmer. I considered him a friend and inspiration. He was a wonderful human being, an eloquent champion of human rights and implacable foe of racism. He forced Scotland to confront its role in slavery. Safe journey mate www.heraldscotland.com/news/health/...

Cuts for the people who pay the bills. Ultimate luxury at whatever cost for the politicians who contribute little and take all they can. Who do these people really think they are? theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/06/the-...

Their hatred and desire to punish the most vulnerable and disabled people in society runs deep. Not even disabled people who earn £35k avoid the performative cruelty. Every member or voter of this Red Tory party will have the blood of the most vulnerable on their hands. news.sky.com/story/work-a...

So, Pensioners with an income of £35k a year will get a £200 to £300 bonus whilst sick and disabled people with incomes less than half that face punitive and callous cuts to their income? Seems well-thought-out and fair... Based on votes and media or need? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I love this

Not only tyranny but disasters like Brexit, ReformUK and Starmer being allowed near government.
