I suspect the real reason Nigel Farage is getting so rattled by the racism allegations is that:

1) He knows he said all these things so can't properly deny them
2) He knows that he carried on saying them well into adulthood

Liz Truss on Twitter in an orange dress. She’s in front of a bookshelf with her own book on and Tony Blair’s eyes blacked out on another book.

Tweet text: They tried to silence her. They failed.

The Liz Truss Show β€” December 5th.

It’s time to fight for the West.

They just served us a roast dinner in the middle of my full day of training today and I legitimately think this is a work highlight of the year

A Labour government passed the Equality Act. A Labour government was in power when the Supreme Court interpreted it to not mean what ministers at the time were clear it was intended to mean. The Labour government response should have been to legislate to fix it. Not doing so was a cowardly betrayal.

This Richard Hughes OBR resignation is a great reminder that being in a senior position like this so close to politics is very precarious indeed

Revealed: MPs rack up huge rent expenses while pushing through cuts to benefits MPs are allowed to rent a second home, but while they are simultaneously cutting benefits for the vulnerable, the cost feels hard to swallow.

Senior MPs including Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick and Darren Jones are claiming tens of thousands of pounds a year in taxpayer-funded rent expenses while either calling for or implementing benefit cuts on the poorest

As ever, thinking today of all those we have lost to HIV/AIDS, and looking forward to the day when we eliminate HIV transmission, not forgetting the need to eradicate HIV stigma and discrimination.

This World AIDS Day, it is fantastic to see DHSC announce such a large and comprehensive funding package and HIV Action Plan. Eliminating new transmissions by 2030 will only be possible with proper action NOW - so this is a much needed step.

NEW: Your Party announces name options to be voted on by members this weekend with decision to be announced by Jeremy Corbyn on Sunday afternoon. They are: Your Party, Our Party, Popular Alliance, and For The Many.

Note Sultana’s preference - The Left Party - has not made the cut

I really hope I enjoy #TheWarBetweenTheLandAndTheSea, but given how the Disney deal has gone, I hope we don't end up wishing those episodes were just absorbed into the main #DoctorWho seasons we just had instead.

Alf Dubs Accuses Shabana Mahmood of 'Letting the Country Down' With Plans to Outdo Reform on Asylum The veteran Labour peer and lifelong campaigner for child refugees, Alf Dubs, tells Byline Times that the Home Secretary's plans are "bitterly disappointing coming from a Labour Government"

β€œShe is doing things that I think are letting this country down".

Labour peer Alf Dubs, who arrived in the UK on the Kindertransport, tells @nicolakellywrites.bsky.social that he is deeply disappointed in Shabana Mahmood and Keir Starmer's betrayal of child refugees

shouting enough about - rail nationalisation, renters rights, employment rights etc.

I personally want them to act like they have 1 term in Govt and do all they can to push the country in a progressive direction. Recent policy announcements haven’t felt that way.

I appreciate your engagement! 😊

for the future. The caps and freezes feel very constraining and make it hard to plan for the future. Sadly under no illusion that there’ll be a State Pension waiting for me - but it feels like we’re blocked from making our own provision.

This Government is doing some good things that they aren’t

employment rights in a future Bill, for example, rather than just break the manifesto promise.

I think there was plenty to agree with in the Budget, and I certainly don’t envy the choices Rachel Reeves has to make.

Again however, people my age feel blocked at every turn when saving & planning

Hi Lizzi, thanks for this information. As an avid Parliamentary watcher I did know much of this, but I’ll never say no to more context.

My primary frustration here is there is a lack of ambition from the Government to try new things. There’s no reason they couldn’t try and press ahead with day one

A budget born of weakness, not of strength Labour needs affluence to remake society. Yet it seems curiously uninterested in creating it.

This was a Budget born of political and intellectual weakness, not strength

Labour has to realise that moving the pieces on the board is not e enough. Affluence is essential for social democracy. And there isn't a plan to create it.
