I've put my post about successful efforts to tackle the small boats over on Substack too. Would be great, if you have a Substack account, if you could like and share it on there too, so more people see this good news! open.substack.com/pub/warrenoa...

We learned nothing from Covid www.channel4.com/news/fears-n...

There has been SO MUCH excellent news coming out from the Labour government the last couple of weeks. So much! And exactly the sorts of things our country needs & what we voted for! So to the naysayers & those intent on constantly criticising our Labour government...just give it a bloody rest!

This investment will change lives. It'll go towards bespoke, calming spaces to help children with additional needs get the support they need at a good, local school on their doorstep. Labour is building schools where every child can achieve and thrive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I won't be watching a single second of the world cup next year. FIFA can get in the sea.

It is in reality the opposite. The longer one lives with a traumatic experience, the more damage it does if untreated. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Badenoch also claimed there is 400 less teachers. At the General Election when the Tories left power there was 566,916 teachers There is now 614,391. An increase of 47,475! #PMQs

Tory Lords are blocking the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation. They want to stop your right to sick pay, bereavement leave, and protection from unfair dismissal. The Conservatives haven’t changed. They’re not on your side.

That’s now 22 ex-Tory MPs in the Reform ranks. The same names and faces that broke your public services - now under Nigel Farage’s umbrella.

Farage and Reform UK have been reported to the police for alleged breaches of electoral law, specifically an alleged overspending of as much as 50% over the approximately 20K limit through non-disclosure in the Clacton campaign. Paywall free version: archive.is/202512072031...

Very good interview with @joanireid.com. Making many sensible points about how we must have a serious conversation about social media’s impact on young people. I’d also add that I know of a few born in the 1950s & 60s who could spend less time on X and Facebook!

I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing Yinka Bankole www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The owner of Reform UK ltd - Farage, has accepted £9m from Thailand resident Harborne. Dubai Dick Tice in 2018 on George Soros donating to UK organisations: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Vote Refuk - get crypto mafia

Small boat Channel crossings have been at zero for 18 days straight. It’s not just the weather.

Just a reminder that the FCA carried out no investigation into Liz Truss and Kwartengs disastrous mini-budget and crashing the pound, even after the then Chancellor was spotted celebrating the budget that very evening with the bankers and businessmen who profitted. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Yeah, keep mulling it over guys, while Reform hoovers up millions in laundered Crypto cash for their election warchest.

You might see sensationalist articles about Labour delaying Mayoral elections. The facts are that the local councils have requested these delays. www.localgov.co.uk/Councils-req...

People who have no issue moving to Dubai to avoid paying the taxes they can afford are basically happy to support an oppressive regime that abuses human rights for the sake of a few quid. inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

I now have members of the left claiming that the scrapping of the 2 child benefit cap is official Tory policy because Suella Braverman as a non-Minister, backbencher, said she wanted to scrap it over a year ago. These are not serious people.

For what feels like the hundredth time: Rachel Reeves never said there was a blackhole. I feel like I'm going insane.

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post. "Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

Those who call for us to leave NATO. Those who say we must decide between the EU or the US. Those who say we should sever links with other countries like China. He said "to consider Brexit a template for our future foreign policy is utterly reckless." And I agree with him! Thank you SKS! 2/2

Being able to keep market sensitive information (particularly with unique access to treasury data) confidential is a foundation of any economic forecaster. It’s pure incompetence

The OBR has torched its credibility

Tories desperate to keep this going and getting more hysterical by the minute. If ppl actually decided to leave the country between 4/11 and budget day because of a fear of higher taxes, that's their prob. Put one on the news at 1 and lets hear the thought process 😂🤣#Badenoch #BudgetHysteria #Cope

I’m happy to say I was wrong. After multiple u-turns, Reeves has managed to avoid raising taxes on working people. I can see why the media are angry now, they were expecting weeks of “Tax betrayal” headlines and all they have left is to pretend the Chancellor led them to print the lies they printed.

Time for Levison two.

Reform is in chaos. Their councils are cutting services while raising taxes Their councillors are leaving in droves Leaders are being imprisoned for taking money from Russia Their policies have been reversed, erased or rescinded Farage has nothing left www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/vot...

Chancellor Rachel Reeves obliterated Badenoch with icy-polite smile that hurts far worse than shouting. A courteous yet unmistakably decisive rebuke. #ukpolitics

This will cut out a lot of capable people with professional careers in multiple sectors that require registration to regulatory bodies from running to be Your Party MPs. Particularly doctors and nurses, tradesmen, accountants and lawyers. But ideology is seldom rational.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Let's be clear. The media lied about the state of the country’s finances and choose to hide their lies behind the convenience of “speculation”. Reeves made it clear in September that the reports were rubbish. www.bbc.com/news/article...

You could not make this up! How many fights, splits, factions, arguments, boycots, explusions and resignations can one party have before it's even formally created?

Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist

Visited my old stomping ground of Southend where I saw a few flags of St George crudely tied to lamp posts and on the backs of traffic signs. These were only in the most impoverished areas of the borough. Raising the living standards of these areas is crucial if we want stop this nonsense.

The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-real-b...

And members of the left tell me it's Labour that is tearing the left apart. news.sky.com/story/jeremy...

Just visited some family and drove through my old stomping ground in Westcliff-on-sea. Unsurprisingly I saw several England the flags in the most impoverished slums of the area

Yes, I understand that there are many good things in the bill that are being held up by the Lords because of this day one right Yes, I understand that the new rules will reduce period for legal protection from 24 months to 6 months It is still a clear manifesto breach www.bbc.com/news/article...

In other shocking news, adjascent apples in same barrel also appear brownish. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... PS I know it shouldn't surprise me, but OF COURSE he lives in France.

So the method that news outlets used to get hold of the OBRs data on the Autumn Statement was by taking the previos March budget web address obr.uk/efo/economic... And changing the word March to November...

The post Trussaggedon budget propaganda was sickening back in September 2022, but even the Mail and the Express couldn't keep it up and by the 29th, one week after applauding it as a TRUE Tory budget they had to admit the financial crisis it had caused. Gilt yields skyrocketed, the pound crashed.

This will only make life worse in this country. The loss of ligitimate migrant working people will lower tax receipts and leave vital roles in the NHS+Care vacant, even if UK unemployment falls to zero, we don't have enough people to keep this economy engine running. It won't appease the racists.

Just realised that every Christmas gift we bought this year came from a either local business or a charity. It's quite easy to avoid buying from places like Amazon, without even realising it's happening. Support you local small businesses and shops, they really need it.

When Keir Starmer asked me to work with our Trades Unions to develop a programme for the biggest uplift in workers’ rights and protections in a generation, I did exactly as I was asked and we produced the New Deal for Working People. 1/11

Arron Banks arrived in the UK with a friend Tellingly, their passport numbers were almost sequential (as were the Salisbury poisoners) The friend went to work for an MP and was exposed as a spy Isabel Oakeshott stated that Banks was undoubtedly working for the Kremlin
