Well said Anas Sarwar!

The courage of that man is incredible. When will we ever put the guns down? When will we have had our fill of violence and bloodshed?

Wishing Jewish people a safe and happy Hanukkah.

Sorry for my lack of engagement recently - I was in bed with the superflu for two weeks! I wanted to pose a question, and I’m looking for honest answers. How close are we to WW3? It looks like both Russia and NATO are upping the rhetoric.

Correct @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social Farage is a Russian asset. bsky.app/profile/d-mo...

Just seen Kemi Badenoch smirking at a full time social worker who is a single mother of 3 who rang LBC to lambast her words today. Shes a horror of a human.

Ross Career has spent his whole parliamentary Greer so far voting for SNP budgets that push brutal austerity onto councils

Worth a share here 👍

The Scottish Greens want to leave the UK

Reeves states she is introducing the high value council tax surcharge in England, an annual £2,500 charge for properties worth more than £2m, rising to £7,500 for properties worth more than £5m. Taxing wealth! #Budget2025

An open letter to Zack Polanski We hope that Green Party Peers will see sense and commit to backing working people ✅

Never underestimate the hypocrisy of the Greens

Tories leave behind an economic disaster, child poverty and crumbling public services Again Labour sort it all out, determinedly and surely Again Many more steps in that direction today Brava Chancellor! #Budget

I’m very impressed by Rachel Reeves today. She’s managed a very difficult job - hope she’s getting a dram or two of whisky now. Well done!

I stuck my neck out yesterday. Delighted that I’m not having to apologise today. Rachel Reeves is fantastic. I could not be prouder.

Good. Should have been a longer sentence though!

So we are back to might makes right.. or perhaps it never went away? This is a terrible deal for Ukraine which Trump and Putin have cooked up together. The Russians are sending subs off NATO waters and they get rewarded. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Culpable

Coming soon 😂

Scotland through to the World Cup! Tartan Army dared to dream and the boys played a beauty of a game. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #noscotlandnoparty #tartanarmy #scotland #worldcup

Employment Rights Bill It was back in the Lords again yesterday. And again the Tories and Lib Dems voted to weaken the bill in 5 areas: 1. Weaking rules banning zero-hours contracts 2. Removing day 1 protection from unfair dismissal 3. Disagreement over a definition of seasonal work 1/3

I don’t know. I think if the polls stay the same there could be Caerphilly type elections all over where one progressive party is rallied behind. Reform are proving to be popular but they are the most hated too. With boring old FPTP voters can choose their local MP.

The Covid inquiry delivers its report on phase 2 on Thursday at 4pm. I can think of no finer marker than to prosecute Tory ministers and former PMs for their part in the absolute criminality of the pandemic. Thousands dead. They deserve justice, be who you are meant to be Keir and go after them.

Hmmm

I like having a dull government. Rather than pandering to the frankly deranged press they just continue to get on with the bloody job.

i think we can now safely say that the #bromance really is officially over...

Labour are doing things differently in government. One of these is more partnerships. At a time when money is scarce these partnerships bring great initiatives to save money or make it go further. 1/2

More information on Labour action.

The UK employment rate is UP under Labour I didn't post about this earlier in the week when the data was released, but because yet again the media only gave half the story and mentioned unemployment, I've corrected several people today. So I need to point it out. 1/3

If you are calling for Sir Keir Starmer to stand down, who ever you are, then you are doing Farage's work for him. It's the way his desire for an election in 2027 comes about. Just shut up and stop it. Let the government get on with the job we elected them to do - and which they ARE doing.

And yet the FTSE continues to march towards 10,000 mark. And markets continue with their support of Starmer and Reeves. Despite our media. 🤣🤣🤣

All the rich presenters on LBC upset that they will be made to pay tax- so they are stirring against Starmer. The media will do *whatever* it takes to destabilise a Labour government. They are there to protect the interests of the rich.

I applaud Labour for tackling the cleaning up of local Politics and mayorships. 👏👏👏

Scary.

Labour laser focused on environment, veterans/forces and health matters in the last week. #LabourAchievements busy #FixingBritain.

Disgusting www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/...

today on "technically correct is still correct"... #horror #horrorsky #horrorwriter

Today I reflect on how grateful I am for those who fought dictatorships and nazis for my freedom. I also remember all the medics who worked under incredible pressure. I remember the service animals who must have felt so scared. I am grateful to those at home who kept going.

Populism never works whether left or right

I’ve never given up hope that these two will be properly questioned by police and that there will be justice for that little girl. They know the truth.

Especially at a time when they are being cautious about new members looking at probationary periods etc

Everyone getting used to it yet? A PM who engages with the people and most importantly young people. We haven’t seen this happening for what feels like a lifetime. Even more important. A politician who can actually make things happen because he WON AN ELECTION.

Well said

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

Reeves cannot go. The markets like her. She’s a steady pair of hands. And I trust her to put our country first. Unlike : Hunt Kwarteng Zahawi Sunak Javid Hammond

1517 and i have just turned the lights on. and it is only Nov 4.

Absolutely. Farage telling people you can have everything you want from promising some dystopian nightmare. Polanski telling people you can have everything they want promising the moon on a stick. Two sides of the same cycle of populism.
