Got a full sized Henry hoover (brilliant) and a Hetty Quick. Best rechargeable hand held vacuum I've ever bought. Go for it!

If you go to watch the World Cup in the US this summer, there's a high chance you will return in a casket.

67% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?

Yes, it's strange how you get to the "they're taking the piss" moment with goods. I arrived there recently with Pringles.

For every Β£100 England gets to spend on rail.

Wales gets Β£1.

Westminster doesn't work for Wales.

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff Exclusive: Plans to offset increase in minimum β€˜fair pay’ set by Living Wage Foundation will affect 5,400 employees

BP to scrap paid rest breaks and most bank holiday bonuses for forecourt staff.

Changes to employee benefits would cut take-home pay by at least 6.25%.

Would exec pay and dividends be cut? No chance.

Hard-won rights eroded as corporations rule without ever being elected.

Back to Victorian times.

The OBR says that the VAT charge on private schools has raised more money than expected because fewer pupils have gone into the state sector

Never believe the Tories and their media.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Good to see unelected gobshite Zia Yusuf on the Laura Kuenssberg show. For a moment there I thought they might go for a week without representing a party with ONLY FIVE MPs!

Why the fuuck are the BBC news asking Furhage for an opinion on the train attacks ? He will pour petrol on it and it just panders to his own agenda. Why not the Greens or Plaid or SNP? It's open propaganda on the part of the state broadcaster

Since Labour came to power, there's been an orchestrated right-wing campaign to undermine the great work they are doing.

It falls to us to tell the story

Bridget Phillipson calls time on dangerous RAAC concrete in schools Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said 'walls and ceilings made from dangerous concrete held up by steel props, shabby classrooms that tell children they simply don't matter'

The Tories left our schools to RAAC and ruin.

The next generation will inherit RAAC-free schools from Labour, with rebuilds done in under a decade and all other schools cleared of RAAC by the end of this Parliament.

That's national renewal.

I'm sure everyone knows how hashtags work. The more times they get used or reposted, the more they are counted

Let's get off the back foot

Let's trumpet Labour's achievements

Ignore the Right

Just come back from Japan. We fell in love with it too! Didn't get to Kyoto, but spent the day in Kobe. If you are in Kobe visit the Kobe Nunobiki Ropeway and herb gardens, it was just heavenly. Where else are you going to in Japan?

Reform got absolutely battered in Caerphilly but I have to tell you because the Media will hide Nigel Farage's embarrassment for him.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

(Also about how Fox Hunting turns him on).

The choice in #Caerphilly next week is clear.

βœ… Lindsay Whittle - Mr Caerphilly himself - a lifelong champion for this community.
❌ Reform - only here to promote Nigel Farage and his interests.

πŸ—³οΈ On 23 October, vote Plaid Cymru for a strong local voice and a better future for #Caerffili.

If you're in Caerphilly, here's an example of what voting for Reform will bring. Private Drs consultation whilst on holiday.

Β£110 Dr's Appt.
Β£40 to take Blood Pressure
Β£135 course of Antibiotics
Β£90 Antibiotic cream

Vote Llyr Powell and you'll get Farage and he'll get rid of the NHS!

If you are in Caerphilly vote Cymru to keep Reform out.

We don't want American Fascism here.
