Left: The Tories claim they’ll save taxpayers nearly £1bn a year by cutting student loans to “foreign students”. Right: Most international students on Student visas don’t qualify for UK student finance in the first place. So where exactly are these £1bn “savings” coming from?

Amazing day! Thanks everyone who came out to volunteer. In Parliament I'll be pushing for Rent controls, water nationalisation, tackling the climate crisis and standing up for the people of Holborn & St Pancras. And the final picture wasn't on my bingo card but sure!

Please, if you have a vote on Thursday, vote for Zack. Whatever progress ‘Labour’ has shown, ditching Starmer included, has happened not because people have suddenly found their inner conscience , but because of pressure from the left: from the Greens, PC, SNP: all of us. Don’t give up now.

Burnham’s speech is the best from a British politician in yrs. He’s the first leader with policies that I can truly get behind in over a decade. He actually said everything I wish Starmer had said months ago, as per my article below. The similarities are uncanny!!!🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/12/t...

Every day we see Trump and his acolytes make shit up, lie and just invent nonsense that they think makes them look good. Then the BBC reports something that “the Secretary of State” says like it’s gospel truth. We have no idea if Marco Rubio knows what he’s talking about. Trump certainly doesn’t.

The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
