Under @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social He had a clear vision of his Labour values. Fast forward & his leadership has clearly affected those principles.
Note that in 2016 he wasn't wearing glasses. In 2025 his glasses were paid for a wealthy donor who gave them to him to avoid paying their fair share of tax

Experts continue to warn the Covid Inquiry that the UK's pandemic preparedness and resilience have gone backwards since 2020.

Yesterday it was the turn of Prof. Christophe Fraser.

Unless the Government knows the date of the next pandemic, its inaction is inexcusable.

Nigel Farageโ€™s economic plans are a disaster Three choices: fiscal implosion, deep austerity or a hasty U-turn

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Reform UKโ€™s policies add up to an agenda of fiscal recklessness that rivals, and may well exceed, the disastrous 49-day, hair-raising, market-tanking premiership of Liz Truss in 2022

New figures confirm that Scotland would have been ยฃ8.3 billion better off as an independent country

I've said before it's now up to unionists, after 10+ years of the broken Vow and economic chaos, to make the case why STAYING in the Union is in Scotland's best interest. But if you don't agree, guess what? The case for leaving has never been stronger either.

We could've done a lot with ยฃ8.3B.

Reform UKโ€™s plans to obstruct green energy projects in Lincolnshire put at risk almost ยฃ1bn in local investment and more than 12,000 jobs,

How many people analysed policies before voting for Reform, the party that also voted against worker rights.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising โ€œchangeโ€, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues.
1. Cutting disability benefits
2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance.
3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap ....

A reminder that Reform is comprised of privately educated millionaires and funded by fossil fuel companies.

Theyโ€™re Tories with added racism. Itโ€™s not a fucking protest. Itโ€™s continuity. They are the elite.

The working classes need to find their self respect and fight the real problem, them.

โ€ข Re your article (Labour targets international students claiming asylum after election losses to Reform, 3 May), the insistence of this Labour government on responding to the perceived threat of Reform by aping it on the issues where it is strong is utterly mind-boggling.
I don't think any electable party will be more anti-immigration than Reform. The portion of the electorate for whom immigration is the one issue they care about won't be persuaded to vote Labour by it pledging to reduce asylum applications from international students. It's a ludicrous idea and, at best, only serves to reduce the distinction between the two parties.
In reality, Reform is weak on almost every conceivable area: the economy, the NHS, Donald Trump, Brexit... the list of vulnerabilities is almost without limit. Yet the government chooses to engage on the only ground on which Reform is sure-footed. It's utterly bizarre.
How is a party with five MPs, fewer than 800 local councillors and no actual policies allowed to dictate the agenda in this way?

V good letter in The Guardian on Labourโ€™s flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform.
Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. Weโ€™re sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure.
Itโ€™s disloyal to your voters and to the country. Youโ€™ve got power and time. Use them.

Hey British media,

Did you know that since Scotland was promised 'more powers' if we voted No to independence in 2014, Westminster has actually stripped more than two dozen key powers from Holyrood and overruled devolved decisions made by the Scottish Government 13 times.
