5 important bills have become law today! The removal of the 2-child cap on benefits is law! The removal of hereditary peers from the Lords is law! The measures in the Nov 2025 Budget are law! The 2026/27 spending plans are law! The extra financial support for exports is law! Well done Labour!

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Labour announce major investment in Welsh railways, backing the Transport for Wales' vision for the future. Building on the Welsh Governments £1.1bn in upgrading and electrifying the Core Valley Lines and £800m investment in a new rail fleet, this will see the transformation of rail services. 1/3

Good news this morning: inflation fell to 3.0% in January, down from 3.4% in December. This was in line with expectations, with the Bank of England last month suggesting it will continue to fall in future months towards the 2% target - perhaps as soon as April.

Can we all get this information correct in our heads: + Labour have not made any cuts to PIP eligibility and, as of now NONE are planned. + Labour also was NEVER looking at cutting the rates of PIP someone can get. In fact, rates are actually increasing with inflation. 1/3

Along with many others I have stopped watching the news. It has become so distorted and unbalanced and frankly, nauseating in its sycophancy towards the slug F*rage. He is everywhere and I am sick of it.

Petition to get rid of Chris Mason nearly at 1800 signatures- please sign if you haven't c.org/KBy4fbbjm7

All those people telling me Labour were doing nothing to support Port Talbot through the steel works rebuilding are all very quiet now. Here we have ANOTHER announcement, this time of a £11m Economic Growth and Investment Fund to support companies who offer skilled, well-paid jobs & help them grow.

Petition to replace BBC weasel Chris Mason - with anything really... c.org/8S5p4BCssm

Gotta feel sorry for Chris Mason. People starting mean petitions to replace him when he's just trying to do his job as a right-wing gossip columnist spouting utterly opinionated bollox for a paltry £270 k pa

What in the Handmaid's Tale is this fuckery?

TV. They've just reinvented TV.

This is big.

The UK government’s latest onshore-wind and solar auction helps it to make headway on clean-grid plans that it says will bring down bills.

Children to get swifter justice thanks to renewed Victims’ Code The Labour government will work with children to create the first ever child-friendly version of the Victims' Code, whilst also strengthening the code to help very victim get swifter justice & ensure child victims are better supported.

The idea that Starmer's woes will result in an early General Election is bollocks. Badenoch and Farage can't be that stupid, surely.

Liz Kendall speaking in the House of Commons now: "it is not just an affront to decent society; it is illegal ... this is child sexual abuse" "It is insulting to victims to say: you can still have this service if you are willing to pay. It is monetising abuse"

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

I am so sick of hearing the opinions of that odious wee man on anything. Shame on the media for giving his ambitions flight

Almost three-quarters (72%) of respondents said they’d be “put off” if they found out a match on a dating app was a Reform supporter.

Labour made a choice to lift over half a million children out of poverty. Because it's the right thing to do. Reform and the Tories' child poverty pact would see this important progress undone. With poorer children paying the price. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Labour strengthening Europe against fascism - and supporting jobs and the economy. Britain has a voice for peace and defence in Europe once again.

Labour strengthening ties with our European allies - and also strengthening throng out military. @reuters.com

Rejoin the EU? Not so sure. For a start - it’s not a library. Would take years of diplomacy. We’d have a worse deal: no veto, the euro, freedom of movement. Would the EU emerge ‘unscathed’ in a post-Putin/Trump world anyway? Labour are taking us to a Norway+ style and I’m good with that.

I think it's a fantastic idea. It does 2 things. It encourages enrollment in the military (severely needed) by giving it a go with no long term commitment. It also gives a purpose to kids who have no idea what to do. Giving them new skills, confidence, friendships for life in civilian jobs too.

Happy second anniversary of the Tory government’s announcement that pints of wine could be stocked on Britain’s shelves for the first time ever thanks to Brexit.

Footfall increase at shopping centres this Boxing Day was the highest for a decade. High street spending up 4.4% with online shopping a massive 8.8%. 🇬🇧🇬🇧

YouGov data shows Reform’s poll lead has HALVED in a week Has Reform's Christmas goose already been cooked? Another poll from YouGov has shown a noticeable decline in their support www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lat...

Reform UK Review 2025: 6% of Reform UK councillors have been suspended, resigned or defected this year alone. A higher percentage than any other party.

🔥 Great list of 6 benefits of Erasmus+, definitely worth a quick read.

British voters when it comes to funding public services:

Tory-run Slough has “lost track” of 500 people living in temporary accommodation, meaning it underestimated its spending by £10m. It blames staff turnover and incompetence, and a new IT system; but while the blunder was spotted in October 2024, officers have only just fessed up to councillors.

I'm going to say it again b/c some folks on here seem confused... if you were eligible to vote in the US in 2024 and you didn't vote for Harris/Walz...you are to blame for all of the horrors happening. *With grace given to those who were hospitalized and physically couldn't vote.

Hi Nigel Farage, can you please point to your friend who took out a £2.7million director's loan before his company went bust owing £1,199,773 in tax to HMRC? The one now banned as a director? The one living in Dubai, claiming to be a candidate for Mayor of London? #AntandDebt

Keir Starmer: "The Employment Rights Act is now law. This is the biggest upgrade to working people’s rights in a generation. You will be protected from fire and rehire. You won't be forced onto an exploitative zero hour contract. You will get sick pay from day one."

🤣🤣

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

I cannot even focus right now. I am literally bouncing in my chair in excitment at the cancelling of many of the Lobby briefings in favour of more press conferences. Such exciting news!

"New powers that come into force on Thursday 18 Dec will allow reservoirs to be built faster, enable a new scheme to slash energy bills for people living near pylons by up to £2,500, and support clean power projects being prioritised for grid connections to bolster Britain’s energy security."

It’s unacceptable that women and girls continue to suffer because the poison of misogyny continues to infect our society. I welcome this important step by the government to stop misogyny before it takes hold - and to protect the next generation.

Yes! warrenoates1.substack.com/p/big-change...

This is huge if even part of this potential is realised. "The fund will unlock up to 19 GW of offshore wind in the immediate term, providing the country with the homegrown energy to deliver clean power by 2030 and protect households from volatile fossil fuel markets." www.gov.uk/government/n...

Rachel Reeves: "It is unacceptable that the £2.5bn proceeds from the Chelsea FC sale remain frozen. It's time for Abramovich to pay up, or we'll take him to court."

25% reduction in all cause mortality over 4 years for those vaccinated against covid, huge study. Wow, this almost suggests covid is implicated in an unbelievable number of deaths. And that vaccinated people should wear respirators if they want to remain abled. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/mrn...

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

As usual these tankies conveniently forget about things like PA attacking a woman police officer with a sledge hammer and trivialise other damage caused. I support the real victims of the Israeli government genocide in Gaza PA are just distracting from that.
