What a fucking horrible thing to say about a thoroughly decent person. People have lost their ever loving minds.

£5bn council SEND debts to be paid off by government It comes days after the Local Government Association warned that eight in 10 English councils would face bankruptcy, if they had to honour deficits.

This is big.

Same. I’ve stopped listening. I don’t understand- I think Covid has done a cognitive number on some people. It’s insanity.

Children to get swifter justice thanks to renewed Victims’ Code Government will work with children to create the first ever child-friendly version of the Victims' Code

Children to get swifter justice thanks to renewed Victims’ Code

The Labour government will work with children to create the first ever child-friendly version of the Victims' Code, whilst also strengthening the code to help very victim get swifter justice & ensure child victims are better supported.

The idea that Starmer's woes will result in an early General Election is bollocks.
Badenoch and Farage can't be that stupid, surely.

Fuck me you’re a ‘professor’ too lol.

Starmer had ONE VOTE OUT OF TEN.

Not so fast. Starmer is still polling well ahead of Farage and people would prefer a Labour coalition government to a Reform one. Very telling.

Liz Kendall speaking in the House of Commons now: "it is not just an affront to decent society; it is illegal ... this is child sexual abuse"

"It is insulting to victims to say: you can still have this service if you are willing to pay. It is monetising abuse"

I’m not sure about this Warren. It is likely that Labour are making Brexit work without having to rejoin. If we have the economy and freedom-ish of movement - do we need to rejoin? We could end up with a Norway+ style deal. Will the EU and NATO even survive a post Trump and Putin era?

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S
Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

I am so sick of hearing the opinions of that odious wee man on anything.
Shame on the media for giving his ambitions flight

They are probably the bots

Almost three-quarters (72%) of respondents said they’d be “put off” if they found out a match on a dating app was a Reform supporter.

Labour made a choice to lift over half a million children out of poverty. Because it's the right thing to do.

Reform and the Tories' child poverty pact would see this important progress undone. With poorer children paying the price.

Labour strengthening Europe against fascism - and supporting jobs and the economy. Britain has a voice for peace and defence in Europe once again.

Oh shut the fuck up you cowardly privileged fucking tankie.

BOT

Right. Apart from the employability rights Act thing. And the rejoining Erasmus thing. And the banning hunting, nationalising rail, restoring nursing bursaries and miners pensions thing. ‘Right wing’. Got it 👍

Defending yourselves against dangerous megalomaniacs is absolute. Shoving your head up your arse and pretending everything is okay is priceless - let other people stand between you and danger you massive coward.

How many people do you think would be homeless if Putin had his way? You colossal PRICK.

Labour strengthening ties with our European allies - and also strengthening throng out military. @reuters.com

Rejoin the EU? Not so sure. For a start - it’s not a library. Would take years of diplomacy. We’d have a worse deal: no veto, the euro, freedom of movement. Would the EU emerge ‘unscathed’ in a post-Putin/Trump world anyway? Labour are taking us to a Norway+ style and I’m good with that.

I think it's a fantastic idea. It does 2 things. It encourages enrollment in the military (severely needed) by giving it a go with no long term commitment. It also gives a purpose to kids who have no idea what to do. Giving them new skills, confidence, friendships for life in civilian jobs too.

I (as a leftist and an academic ) have always been a supporter of a form of national service - environmental, care or military for a ‘school year’ between 16-21. Like a form of apprenticeship- and with accreditation. This comes close and I’m a fan.
