Even though it was expected, it's really striking to see a Labour leadership contender just straight-up say it out loud.

Nigel Farage’s partner, a former waitress not known to have any private money, bought a £1 million house for cash shortly after he secretly received £5 million from a Thailand-based cryptocurrency billionaire - the same house that he claimed, months previously, that he was about to pay for himself.

FIFA has decided to take no action against Israel. President says "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues." FIFA has and still bans Russia. FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

Brexiters/Reform don’t give a seconds thought about the environment. Ever since 2016 they’ve been parroting “we want our country back” while the product of their stupid obsession is dirty water and air pollution. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

From dirty water to wildlife protections, the environmental cost of Brexit only gets higher
Britain’s promises of a post-Brexit green revolution have unravelled, with protections for wildlife, water and air weaker now than at any point in recent decades

Car boot this morning - only 2 flag shaggers. And it was a huge turnout because of the weather. Don’t believe the hype about ‘flags everywhere’. In a rural, economically restricted & educationally hampered area this is significant. There’s usually about 8-10 of them. Reform are not winning !

Your #NHS is about to be transformed. And not in a good way. - get rid of healthwatch - get rid of Foundation Trust (FT) governors. Removes local voices and a great means to ensure FTs are doing what they need to in one fair swoop. Your lack of caring, lack of compassion reform lite Labour Party

Macron to the UK: "Never cede to the temptation of populism which is the denial of science or a travesty of the facts. Populists sold you a response which is through nationalist withdrawal. Budgetary, immigration, growth problems from 9 years ago. Were they solved by Brexit? No."

This is what a real leader looks like. No sensatiinalism, no fear mongering, no populism. Just truth. Irregular migration, not illegal migration. Only a court of law can determine illegality.

Currently reading the executive summary of the #NHS 10 year plan alongside the full 168 plan itself. It is clear the document strategists have no actual health or social care senior experience. Nor the MPs instructing them. This is what’s going to happen. Thread below …..

Struggling to get to sleep? Need some help? Then read the 10 year #NHS plan. 168 pages of utter garbage. Essentially, it’s just a new NHS app & more privatisation. Fails to accept the need to #RejoinEU - which would give us easy access to a huge workforce & GDP growth to pay for everything.
