This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, this argument should be chilling. Trying to limit freedom of the press under the guise of national security is what tinpot dictators do. That’s not how a functioning democracy works.

I always thought James Cleverly was talentless & wet, yet suddenly he’s gone up in my estimation as he gets into a scrap with Suella Braverman who’s thicker than mince & less use Farage did a post with a film of migrants in Cleverly’s constituency, awks as they’re there due to Braverman & Jennrick🍿

Asap Burnham needs to introduce a new 'pensioner contract'. Remove the triple lock in return for reforming social care. Pensioners are the richest cohort in society but don't feel rich because of the looming prospect of care home draining all their wealth. There must be a social care solution >>

They are all very deliberately ignoring the express wishes of Henry Nowak's family; the judge's sentencing report & the obvious, albeit brief, consequences of a crime being reported exclusively by a lying associate of the perpetrator. It may feel futile but this has to be repeated again & again.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Politicians not being transparent is the reason for #Reform 's success. We all know where we stand with them- a £5M direct gift to leader and £22M to the party equals a change in policy to favour the payer. No ambiguity. Rate card available on request.
