How can he describe himself as an MP when he spends his time in USA and refuses to hold surgery for his constituency?

Delays waste 130,000 hours of ambulance time in a fortnight Wait times are one third longer than last winter as NHS faces β€˜quad-demic’ of flu, Covid, norovirus and RSV

As this winter is likely to be one of the most challenging on record for our health service - we must ensure that the weight of years of Conservative neglect does not fall on patients' shoulders.

That's why we @libdems.org.uk are is calling for a Β£1.5bn ring-fenced fund to β€˜winterproof’ our NHS.

Hardly surprising since he still WORKS with Israel by selling them weapons that they use to slay the innocents in Gaza

Labour are currently saying that they are supporting motorists by freezing fuel duty, whilst at same time, announcing that from April 2025 road tax on E63 will increase from 2400 to 5700

As another consequence of Rachel Reeves' budget, Martson's announce it will be increasing the price of a pint by an average of 10p to cover increased business costs. In other news, on the 3rd December Marston's announce pre tax profits of Β£42m (up 65%) after a "bumper year."

I’m sure the Tories will be right on that, depending these protestors be jailed for years, right?

Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Matt Hancock and Michael Gove ran the Covid PPE lanes, while Rishi Sunak rubber stamped every payment.

Given the Β£14.9bn in fraud they should all be in jail.

RP if you agree.

Want to know why Masterchef was back on TV?
Why Farage in on Questiontime constantly?
Why Hugh Edwards was tolerated?
Why …. Insert own scandal here ….
Johnson’s handpicked rightwing men now run our BBC
No women.
Starmer can/ should sack them.

George Osborne is a walking ad for a wealth tax. Labour should target the inheritocracy | Polly Toynbee β€˜Tax wealth, not work’ would be a powerful message for Starmer and Reeves – are they bold enough to pursue it, asks Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Mick Lynch went on Question Time once then they banned him because he embarrassed them.

The establishment sack of πŸ’© Nigel Farage has been on 38 times because he tells the lies the billionaires want you to hear.

Sign the petition: Britain is not for sale: don't let the likes of Elon Musk meddle in our democracy 🚨 WORLD’S RICHEST MAN BUYING OUR DEMOCRACY 🚨 Elon Musk is set to pump Β£78m into Nigel Farage’s partyβ€”a sum that would allow Reform to flood our politics with targeted ads. Maybe other countries allow ...

Disturbing prospect of Right Wing billionaires influencing UK politics. Vast donations to political parties must be blocked whether foreign or domestic

Policy Exchange told the Tories that Muslims were a threat. Will it work on Labour? The right-wing thinktank has played a crucial role in shaping narratives about Islam and extremism in Britain since 2005

Keir Starmer's government seems to be embracing the Policy Exchange thinktank - which was the most influential promoter of Islamophobic policies during the years the Conservatives were in power.

The US based Christo-Fascist Heritage Foundation already own the UK Conservative Party. Have done for years. I’ve come to the conclusion democracy is an illusion. See Keir Starmer’s Labour Government. Nothing actually changes. And it never will while The Church and Big Business call the shots.

Nigel Farage’s Reform charges Β£300 for parliament tours in apparent Commons breach Nigel Farage’s party has emailed some activists offering tours with an MP for up to Β£300 as part of a fundraising drive

On X Lee Anderson has posted ever since being a Tory MP about showing ppl around HOPπŸ‘‡πŸΌ

What he never said is Reform charge £300 for tours ❌

Rules for MPs explicitly forbid the offering of access in exchange for payment ❌

Other MPs have been called to task for doing so, so why haven’t Reform MPs❓

To truly empower Britain would require establishment power and wealth losing power. There is absolutely no sign that starmer is prepared to do this? The missions seem gimmicky- a government straining to signal they are purposeful.

How governments whitewash voters. Before Brexit 2016 immigration was split in 2, eu and world (non-eu). Govt and press only wanted to talk about EU migrants even though it was around 50-50 (about 300,000 each).
Now Sunak introduced illegal immigration which is all they wanted to talk about not world

We know what they want. It is the Farage-led bile that has polluted every media outlet for as long as I have been alive.

Pro-racism
Pro-misogyny
Pro-capitalist

Anti-environment
Anti-disabled
Anti-immigrant

These positions need to be confronted, not embraced. Loudly and unequivocally.

Again, I’m keen to hear from Labour fans on how β€œmore AI” and refusing to reinvest in the NHS to make up for the Tory cuts will deal with this?
Five years since Starmer took over as Labour leader and still no answer to this.

Tory Boy Starmer is ideologically opposed to what needs doing in the UK. He won’t reverse HIS winter heating allowance cuts, he won’t renationalise water and energy, he won’t stop privatising the NHS and he won’t save the universities. It’s all doable, but he’ll lie that it isn’t.

Musk’s $100m to Farage will break our democracy Keir Starmer needs to fix Britain’s broken electoral laws now - if he doesn’t, we will all suffer the consequences

It is clear @teamlabouruk.bsky.social must restore the independence of the electoral commission then give them the teeth to fine offenders up to the total amount of any questionable donations plus confiscate the same amount from the party or parties that benefit.
