"Ministers want to make it harder for inquests to pass verdicts of unlawful killing, which have been crucial in getting justice for women who committed suicide after suffering abuse."
I don't think anyone expected Labour would change course after its electoral drubbing but this is 🤯
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Traitorous gobshite says Starmer is not Churchill. Neither is Putin.
BTW, how did your foreign national girlfriend get £865k in cash to buy a house in Clacton? #UKPolitics
My much requested deep-dive into the latest immigration statistics begins!!
Part 1: What is the gender & age breakdown of asylum seekers?
Its a political choice to want to keep net migration down (then readjust the borrowing, tax, spending numbers) or whether to want net migration to drift up (then readjust some of the Home Office policy drive to reduce/eliminate it). Can't do both.

Turns out lowering bills, protecting the NHS and rebuilding our public services is really popular.
This is just the beginning - people are seeing through the attacks and demanding something better.
And we're making hope normal again - together.

It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.
People's work is not the government's to give away.
If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!

In the House of Lords today, a government minister refused to rule this out.
To be clear, this would amount to legalising theft. It would fly in the face of public opinion on what is fair, and would mean a surrender of British creatives' work by this Labour government.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

this reminds me of when a v established right wing journalist was convinced he was reading an obscene tweet from Corbyn and I had to gently and repeatedly explain that it wasn’t actually from Corbyn and you could tell because the account had 45 followers and it said “parody” in the bio
The government's immigration proposals are an obscenity: They needlessly punish refugees, make integration basically impossible, and introduce a sliding system of administrative abuse depending on how wealthy you are iandunt.substack.com/p/can-we-ext...
For sure he did.

Good. Now let's get them ahead of Farage's Reform UK and we can have a Scottish party 1-2 with the London parties relegated into third and beyond.

Blue Labour as a concept needs to go in the bin, alongside the idea of Lexit. Cut the twin cancers out.
Brexit should go on the scrap heap of history.
FPTP has had its day too.
Roll on PR, and a full-throated and unashamed campaign to negotiate with the EU to rejoin ASAP.

🎉 Congratulations Hannah Spencer MP.

Bringing the nations together in ways he and Farage couldn’t possibly have imagined.
Some establishment journalists absolutely flummoxed at being handed their asses
Just for context, the extremism Starmer talks about was the accepted political narrative and policy when I was growing up, living under post Keynesian Governments of both Labour and Tory. It’s only extreme if you like sucking up to neoliberal, fetishist billionaires.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social if this is populism then I’ll take more of it please.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏
Sky News don't seem as excited as the rest of us.

Manchester has proved that this country is not Twitter. That real people are decent. It’s great to feel a little hope return
“I said we were here to replace Labour and this is what replacing looks like.”

Prophetic from that Labour minister, who after all should know that a ‘week’s a long time in politics.’ The country voted for change but got a party that had no idea what to do because it’s lost its soul. The Greens aren’t afraid to tell it like it is and offer solutions. This is the change we need.
These cunts are so unbelievably online, how did this dickhead not recognise a very popular British political meme format?
A new politics of hope was born this morning. We do not need to be the cruel nation that Badenoch, Starmer and Farage want. @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party have shown us we have a choice.
