Quite emotional… Been out delivering my very first Newsletter as a campaigner for Green Party in Whinfield. Meeting so many residents who were all incredibly lovely even when some were of other political leaning. Aged 9 trafficked nationwide by peadophiles. Now, a campaigner to make a difference.

My feed is full of Labour MPs expressing anger tonight. Yet when the daughter of a Holocaust survivor was arrested outside their own party conference for a non-violent protest, silence. Principles mean little if outrage only appears when it is politically convenient.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously. The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together. Now is a time for real leadership.

We are told that Burnham is highly popular, but not popular enough to win a fair election where the public has meaningful choice? The Greens would gain nothing from stepping aside for Burnham, and Labour would not step aside for Zack Polanski. www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/burnhams-r...

"Burnham's rivals should step aside so he can win" is not exactly an inspiring message
Andy Burnham is officially standing for Labour in the Makerfield by-election and the stakes could not be higher.

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?” Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?” Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves” That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

Trump is the kind of man who you would never lend any money to. Who you would never trust to do anything. Who you certainly wouldn't trust around your kids. Why the hell would anyone want to help him in a crazy war he started?

Reform asked voters of Gorton and Denton to 'channel their patriotic Blitz spirit' And they did just that - by defeating fascists.

Absolutely ridiculous that Caerleon doesn’t have a railway stop. It’s 100% needed and ridiculous that one wasn’t given under the New South Wales Metro scheme. One of the most important Tourist destinations in Cymru. It is also located in a commuter area. I hope sense prevails.

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.
