Mobile Jobcentres hit the road in six new areas to deliver employment support Jobseekers are to benefit from the roll-out of mobile jobs vans across Great Britain – appearing outside leisure centres, supermarkets and even football stadiums.

Labour announce 6 more areas are getting mobile Jobcentre vans.

It will mean more people get employment support from the Jobcentre on Wheels scheme directly in their communities, following a pilot which helped 1600 people.

Staffed by experienced work coaches they offer support with...

Gary Lineker, "Jim Ratcliffe is a migrant himself, an economic migrant, he lives in Monaco"

"A lot of the immigrants contribute enormously, and the facts show you that, in terms of revenue, paying tax etc"

"Whereas Jim in Monaco, is doing everything he can to avoid paying tax"

It doesn’t really matter *why* Trump’s desire to destabilise & divide Europe precisely mirrors Vladimir Putin’s - whether kompromat, self-interest, naked bigotry or something else l. What matters is that Europe treats both regimes like the enemies of progress & democracy they so clearly are.

Seeing Matt Weston get his gold medal and our flag flying, that's what makes me feel proud; not when our flag is flying from a lamppost, put there by those trying to stir division.

Bannon, Brexit, Johnson and Cambridge Analytica: the Daughter of Time Peter Jukes reports on more revelations about the transatlantic right-wing network, and why the Government is withholding key information on the former Prime Minister’s role

Now more details in the Epstein files reveal Bannon as part of a successful plot to topple Theresa May with Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Mogg, here’s an article from the archive about Johnson and Bannon’s collaboration

Starmer:

"The real fight is not in the Labour Party. It's with the right-wing politics that challenges that. The politics of Reform... Divide, divide, divide. Grievance, grievance, grievance. That will tear our country apart... I will be in that fight as long as I have breath in my body."

Watching from the UK I can’t understand how the US allows this prejudicial governance to continue. 😢

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.

But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.

He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

Totally agree.

They are all amnesic hypcrites.

Sienna Rodgers ® @siennamarla X.com Morgan McSweeney does have some fans in the Parliamentary Labour Party, of course. One MP says they are "devastated" he has left. Another warns it represents "full speed ahead to uber-woke, net-zeroist, rejoinerism" An MP who has been through several general elections when the tide was against Labour says of colleagues: "Good luck to all these careerists when they face an election without someone like Morgan at the helm. "Some of us are old enough to remember the Corbyn era with no one in charge and the party floundering."

Have to say… “uber-woke, net-zeroist, rejoinerism” sounds very appealing.

Particularly in light of the fact that anti-woke, fossil-fuel-ist, brexitism has been such an exhausting and ruinous shitshow.

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world The most disturbing revelation so far

We all live in Jeffrey Epstein's world now. That's what we can't face. It's our world. Where sexual desire for children is protected, victims receive no justice & the President of what used to be called the free world is Jeff's friend. This is Jeff's World now.

You don't say.

LONDON (AP) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer apologizes to Epstein victims for giving Peter Mandelson the U.S. ambassador job.

@apnews.com

I have to say I went to bed depressed at the negativity aimed at our PM. This morning I'm more hopeful seeing the number of posts supporting Starmer and calling out those who are throwing brickbats and stirring a wasps nest. We're stronger standing together and speaking out.
#SupportStarmer

As always there are two outcomes for Starmer:

He leaves post

He stays in post

Based on the 40 or so other occasions he was expected to resign by the media. I think there’s a better than average chance he’ll remain in post.

I certainly hope so. He’s the best PM for years

Huge plaudits to @financialtimes.com which has led the way on exposing Mandelson and has also done great reporting on the corruption of Trump. What a contrast to @thetimes.com which did a soft interview with Mandy and has been hopeless on Trump

My dad wrote me a letter weeks before he died when I was four. “Mummy will give you all my kisses.”

It wasn’t until I became a dad myself that I thought how it must feel to say goodbye to your young children.

Photo of Starmer speaking Starmer signals closer alignment with EU's single market to ease harm caused by Brexit Starmer attacks Farage over 'botched' Brexit The Labour leader has outlined the party's ambition for closer cooperation with Europe

"He said if we left the EU there would be less red tape for trading into Europe - try telling that to any business that is trading into Europe. "He said if we left the EU regular migration would go down - it quadrupled under the Boris wave. So I wouldn't listen too much to what Nigel Farage has to say about this." Sir Keir described the previous government's Brexit deal as "botched" and highlighted Labour's efforts to negotiate new arrangements, including on food and agriculture, which he said "lead to lower prices in our supermarkets".

Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse.
At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism.
