Another list of Labour's achievements for all you whingers sitting at the back whingeing.

Bette Davis, who famously had a long term feud with Joan Crawford said

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good. Joan Crawford is dead. Good".

She has already raised a lot of taxes on the wealthy and suspect more to come

Train company LNER 'extremely proud' of rail worker in critical condition after mass stabbing as family call him 'hero' The "extraordinary bravery" of the LNER worker who intervened during the train mass stabbing attack on Saturday has been hailed by his company.

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

If restaurants are struggling, put up prices. That way it's transparent and people know what the bill will be when they walk in
This subterfuge to avoid tax and take away tips from staff is just wrong

I think this speech needs sharing again.

Since the PM said this, there have been Tories who have come out & said the same as Reform: that they want to see people with a legal right to be in the UK get deported.

Call it out and stand up for these people - our friends, neighbours and key workers.

The irony

About time.

This country's childish obsession with low taxes has led to crap public services, just like the USA. Happy countries with good public services pay a lot more tax.

His proposal would mean Churchill wouldn't have been able to be Prime Minister and King Charles couldn't be head of State...but suspect they'd get a pass as they're white

So this is Labour's response to Farage's speech this morning - but put out this afternoon across all the channels they are active on.

Very good Labour, very good!

“TAX WEALTH NOW”

“Okay, more property taxes coming right up”

“NO NOT THAT”

“Okay, pension taxes it is, then”

“NO NOT THAT”

“What exactly do you think wealth is?”

They will continue to have have marches every week condemning Putin’s vicious war of aggression against the civilian population...oh

The final line here is utterly, utterly batshit given everything that is going on right now.

I'm sure that Putin will pay a lot of attention to the 'non-militarised European Security Framework'

Do some reading

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has negotiated a new, wider-ranging agreement with the EU, which his government describes as a "reset" of relations and an improvement on the previous Trade and Cooperation Agreement'
We have a better Deal that the Tory no deal.

The government isn’t introducing a new £200 ‘sustainability’ tax on car owners – Full Fact Viral videos claiming that a new £200 annual tax on all car owners will come into effect in November 2025 are false.

Social media videos claiming that the government is introducing a new £200 ‘sustainability’ tax on all car owners from November 2025 are false.

I do believe that misogyny is partly to blame for this. Reeves has spoken out against "trickle down economics", and demonstrated that she believes those with broader shoulders should pay more. Possible tax changes shouldn't come as a shock, but I suppose it is far easier to credit a man instead.

As a Labour party member I'd like theses (presumably unanmed MP's) to spend their time broadcasting the near 60% of manifesto pledges which have been delivered or are in progress. I don't want them indulging in gossip and tittle tattle with journalists and commentators.

1. New Defence Housing Strategy, with £9bn to improve 40,000 military homes 2. More than 1/3 of manufacturing firms will accelerate investment projects as a result of the government’s modern Industrial Strategy. 3. ONS figures from Labour force survey show 475,000 more people in jobs compared to a year ago 4. Almost 60,000 knives removed from streets since July 2024 5. Veterans and families get safe homes as £4.5m awarded to housing providers 6. New Town of Culture competition to shine a spotlight on the contribution of towns that tell national story 7. British Businesses to Save over £400m a Year on Electricity Costs 8. £17.3 million from UK Government funding to boost Aberdeen’s Energy Transition Zone 9. Labour saved over £1bn by processing asylum seekers more rapidly 10. Labour has told hotel owners they must repay £46million in excess profits. 11. A £4bn data centre investment in the UK by Equinix

A perfect 10 of #LabourAchievements. Busy #FixingBritain In just the last four days announcements covering veterans, military homes, people in work up and big savings on electricity costs for business. 👏👏👏#FixingBritain every week by hard work and good government

How much trouble is Rachel Reeves in over rental rule break? - BBC News The PM may have ruled out an investigation but key questions remain about the chancellor's housing rules admission.

Reeves Estate Agent screwed up and apologised to her, end of❗️

But oh no not for BBC with today’s character assassination & scathing critique re Govt Determined to keep a non story alive

Yet they dropped Farage potentially dodging £44K stamp duty like a shot & never reported his OH’s alleged fraud🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm old enough to remember when we were told on here that Starmer should be like the Canadians and stop grovelling to Trump

Expect to hear little about small boat crossing at the moment.

28-day averages are falling again and are the lowest since early June this year also lower than any other year in the last 5 years other than 2023.

Keir Starmer covering a lot of ground here:

- Tories & Reform oppose it
- Turkey Typhoon delivering jobs and investment.
- Reform can’t be trusted on defence

Lettings agency takes blame in Rachel Reeves licence row Agency says staff member offered to apply for licence to allow chancellor to rent out family home, but failed to do so

This headline is snide and misleading

'Lettings agency takes blame in Rachel Reeves licence row'

No they didn't take blame, they were to blame, headline should be

'Lettings agency to blame in Rachel Reeves licence row

Caerphilly going Reform...if only we had a big 33,000 poll conducted a week ago we could check it's accuracy

Labour’s Renters’ Rights Act means:

🏠No more bidding wars to secure a tenancy
🏠Maximum of 1 month’s rent upfront
🏠Rolling monthly tenancies
🏠Fair rules for pets
🏠End to no-fault evictions

Taking a weight off of renters everywhere but especially is West Ham and Beckton.

24 hours of stress and worry at a time when the CX has more important things to be working on. To all the hacks out there going through the minutiae to find some ‘dirt’ maybe look at Farage and his girlfriend who is already being investigated. Rather than an estate agency cock up

He explained his reasoning in a lengthy, detailed and evidenced article here
taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/07/22/u...

Or twisted by those against Labour to try and make this about Labour to suit their agenda

Have seen far more posts on Bluesky in the last 12 hours attacking Labour on this than Farage and it's a pattern that keep repeating

Let's hold Farage to account
