This looks like a good initiative from the government. Thereβs lots of public land available where well sited renewables projects make a lot of sense.

This is a ridiculous headline to a much more nuanced piece. Starmer could and should have talked more about the governmentβs net zero efforts given they are popular and largely working. But at no point did he βabandon net zeroβ.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
'Because council tax is included in rent you can't register to vote' (which is nonsense) actually means 'please don't tell the council or HMRC that the property is let out'.
Basically a confession that the landlord is iffy, in the Rightmove listing!
Plans to make refugee a status of perpetual limbo will do nothing to stop people who need help seeking it nor make it possible for them to rebuild their lives and contribute. I call for humane and effective asylum reforms because I am true Labour, not blue Labour. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

A Child Cruelty Register will help protect children from those that commit heinous physical abuse.
Delighted to play a small role in delivering this with @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social. But the heroes are Tony Hudgell, and his mother Paula.
They inspire all of us. π

Angeliki is a brilliant woman and I'm sorry she's not in Parliament. The absolute shit candidates (and MPs) get from all sides (and the whole political spectrum) is unbelievable.
It's the constant questioning of good faith that's the worst tbh - and the idea that you're fair game for nastiness.
Obviously disappointed by the result overnight but really proud of the Labour staff, organisers and volunteers who worked so hardπΉ

I appeal now to the City Mothers of our beautiful Modern Towns to ask the City Fathers to do something for the City Children. Won't you please let us have a paddling pool -I beg your pardon, a Lido ? We promise to keep it nice and clean and beautiful, and we'll never make the mistake of putting our back-less bathing costumes on back to front, even though some of us have never worn one before.

Out on the doorsteps in Gorton & Denton today with lots of volunteers and the Labour family.
We do this because we want to strengthen our Labour team by electing Angeliki Stogia.
Thereβs so much we want and need to do to turn things around for our country, let us build on this strong start πΉ
On the campaign trail with committed activists for the important #GortonandDentonByElection.
If you live locally here, please #VoteLabourπΉTODAY β for unity, not division.
No, Labour have not put out an attack van. Nevermind the contents, there's no imprint!

(Yes, it is!)
BREAKING: Jersey becomes the second place in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying, voting 2 to 1 in favour.
32 for, 16 against.
Joins the Isle of Man in voting in favour. Scotland due to vote next month.
England and Wales bill remains in Lords and likely to fail.

Yesterday, the PM invited content creators to Downing Street for a new type of 'press' conference, on the cost of living.
Here's one question, which allowed the PM to give policy heavy and important answers.
No attempts to catch the PM out or journalists changing topic!
What a refreshing change!
