If you thought Andy Burnham was pledging to introduce free social care, think again. All he's doing is tinkering with a broken system that needs radical transformation to make it fit for purpose. heartlandstribune.com/andy-burnham...

Lord John Mann is thug who should have been kicked out the Labour Party when he accosted Ken Livingstone in 2018. But it was Ken, who's done more than anyone else in public office to fight racism, who was suspended instead. What a disgrace. www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...

The PM's plan to scrap the triple lock to reform social care shows he doesn't understand the monetary system. The state pension is one of the lowest in W. Europe. This attack on pensioners is wholly unnecessary. So much for his pledge to end 40 years of neoliberalism. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Holborn and St Pancras hustings hosted the Board of Deputies of British Jews tonight was attended by a bunch genocidal racist extremists from the Jewish community. Zack Polanski was right to call them out although he was way more diplomatic than they deserved. www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...
