🚆 Rail fares frozen for the first time in 30 years! Essex commuters will save hundreds of pounds - real help with the cost of living. Labour is delivering fairer, cheaper travel. As Mayor, I’ll go even further with better, greener public transport for Essex.

Successive governments have failed on social care. It’s not a shortage of good ideas that’s the problem, but a shortage of good politics. Today that changes with Louise Casey. Britain has a social care crisis. Here’s how we’ll work together to fix it 👇🏻 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda. For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

It's astonishing in how many areas the last government's response to difficult problems was just to abandon governing: to stop processing asylum claims, stop setting realistic budgets, ignore critical warnings from the prison system, and ultimately scuttle the ship by bringing forward the election.

This is basically exactly the same agenda that just got them thrashed at the last election by Labour.

Kemi Badenoch doesn’t seem to understand how many (real) people who voted in July would actually be really annoyed about another election. I suspect her Party workers and fundraisers would also be less than impressed.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

I didn’t do a lot of it over the last 14 years but I did go on the odd protest and sign a petition here and there. I don’t think it achieved anything. FYI just in case anyone might be doing any of that right now.

Good to see #BBCVerify confirming that only very small number of farms (the largest and most valuable) will be affected by tax changes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How many farms would be affected by Budget changes?
Estimates of the number of farms affected range from 100 to 70,000.
