"The one thing your viewers can know for sure is that we believe in controlling spending and reducing taxes, not increasing taxes," says Conservative Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp, whose own government raised taxes to their highest level in more than 70 years, just two years ago.

😵‍💫 Kyiv and the region are stuck in the nonstop air alert. Russian forces keeps launching jet-powered drones in groups of 3–6, with barely any pause between attacks. Schools, hospitals, offices, data centers, shops, stations, homes and other civilian sites are in danger.

I grew up on stories of Henry Blogg. Henry Blogg was a lifeboatman at Cromer who couldn't FUCKING SWIM. His gallantry won him a BUNCH of medals (go look him up or read Cyril Jolly's biography). He went out to sea in a glorified rowboat. Over and over again.

This is dream territory for Labour surely - Reform and the Tories splitting the right vote between them. For the last few months, Labour needed two things: a poll boost, and a modest Tory resurgence. Seems like it's getting them both.

Badenoch brands Labour as the welfare Party. Welfare means health, happiness, & well-being, or financial & social aid provided by the government to people in need. The Greens are a welfare party too, nothing wrong with those values. Badenoch shoots herself in the foot, Tories the misery party🤬💚

The backdrop to the horrific scenes in Dover and Portsmouth is Reform encouraging fear and division and the Home Office helping with hostile policies. So now we have massed fascists dressed in black on our streets. The Govt must name hard right fascism and then stand up to it.

It's August. The grain has been harvested & now it is time to thresh & winnow it. The two men on the left are doing the threshing while the man on the right puts the grain in a bag. If you look closely you'll see he is dropping quite a few as he does so. Image from University of Manchester MS 164 8r

Painting from a medieval manuscript. Two men, one in green, the other in red have flails for separating the grain from the stalk. Their leggings are rolled down. They are bareheaded. The man on the right, in blue, has a straw hat and his leggings are still up. His job isn't as hot. He is pouring grain into a burlap type bag using a long handled wooden spoon. Quite a few grains are falling around him.

You can't fix a broken system by shutting voices out. If Andy Burnham wants a lasting solution to the social care crisis, we have proposals worth hearing.

Quote graphic from Ellie Chowns, MP for North Herefordshire: Quote reads: "Successive governments have neglected social care and treated it as a political football. If Andy Burnham is serious about doing things differently and tackling the crisis in care, he must work collaboratively with the Greens and other parties to do so."
