Womens votes are not just for Christmas. If they deliver wins they should always receive wins in return.

Im amazed that, given current world events, that one of @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social books has made it to Sydney, Australia. Now it has to start its journey to Auckland with her next week, fingers crossed. Both myself and it’s intended recipient need 7 ways to call time on BS…

So this @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social book is starting its journey from me to Auckland via Sydney tomorrow to a Kiwi friend currently residing in Sydney. Think she needs to read this one especially. Then after comm games I’ll send the rest

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social ended up with none of the institutions I applied too.. so ended up with Swansea. They take really good care of their disabled students and are super flexible too

Zack Polanski faces formal investigation over council tax payments

Classic of Royal Mail to deliver a parcel to me and not take @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social. nothing new about them being stupid in my area. Now that parcel will be a week late god darn it. Royal Mail can’t do anything right in my area

We all know the news media is out of control in the UK. So please sign my petition calling for a single, powerful, independent statutory regulator for all news media! The Government must create a single, independent statutory regulator covering print, broadcast, and digital news media. 1/4

Every time @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social does something admirable, I think she comes to expect something from me now… People should know that I don’t listen to the ‘you shouldn’t have‘ lectures

Moscow region right now 👀🔥

A 68-year-old man stepped outside at dawn in Kherson on 19 May. A Russian drone tracked him and dropped its charge. He survived with one leg gone. This is the "human safari" the UN has ruled a crime against humanity. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/05/19/r...

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social i forgot to ask you for your email address as someone wants to talk to you about the first sporting event to be held at the coop live in June, a fellow Scot so you’ll get on super well

For the first time, the UK, in partnership with the Council of Europe, will serve as the host nation for the European IDAHOT+ Forum in London in May 2027. The forum will convene governments, civil society organisations, policymakers, and advocates from across Europe.

@politicalhackuk.bsky.social im in Birmingham soon and I assume I’d need to contact you if I’d like to hand deliver something as I can hardly email and give the surprise away hmm. Not until after the summer but would love to hand deliver something to the boss ;)

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social how far in advance to you plan your shows? I wondered if you had space soon for someone to talk about the first sporting event to be held at the coop live in June? I know the sport leagues managing director and she’d love to talk to a fellow Scot about all of this?

🇧🇬🇵🇹 DARA's #Eurovision 2026 win marks the first time the televoting and jury have agreed on the winner since Salvador Sobral won the contest for Portugal in 2017 with "Amar pelos dois". 📸 Sarah Louise Bennett / EBU

🇧🇬 BNT Director General Milena Milotinova has confirmed Bulgaria's intent to host #Eurovision 2027. "I am so proud of DARA's performance. I'm so proud to say - welcome to Sofia next year."

If it wasn’t for the change in the #Eurovision rules this year, bringing the juries back into the semifinals, Sweden would have been out. Scored just 17 points in their semifinal from the public - and would have been their first NQ since 2010.

A Blairite, Brownite, Corbynite and a Starmerite went into a bar. The barman said "So, what are you drinking Mr. Burnham?"

We won’t get any meaningful unless we stop expecting EU to follow our lead. Anyone committed to Europe should rip up red lines on customs union, single market and freedom of movement. Electorate in leadership contest should ask for nothing less. Otherwise we are just wasting their time-and ours.

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social thats the working title. I said I didn’t know where I was sending it, I lied having looked at my emails. Exeter, Bristol, Birmingham, Cambridge and Cardiff. makes sense considering I did POLIR at BA and IL at masters levels

🏆🇺🇦 Elina Svitolina is the champion of the WTA 1000 tournament in Rome! In the final, our Ukrainian queen defeated world No. 4 Coco Gauff with a score of 6–4, 6–7, 6–2.

Two in five arrested for the summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse. Police data shows overlap between public violent disorder + domestic abuse. I wonder what the stat will be today? Our country is so much better than Yaxely Lennon and his crew. The majority of us love, not hate🫶

I had a (very much non-exhaustive) look at some of the economic thinking going on in Labour at this, er, interesting time: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social you’d be proud today. although we didn’t get a snap, for the first time in 8 years I actually spoke to @allymcgovern.bsky.social snd hugged her, albeit for a few minutes. Anxiety can sod off for today

Honey… I’m home I should have waxed my fringe down. But was so good to see @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social in my rightful home. Progress is home to me. I have a history with it and leaving first time as the biggest mistake I’d ever made

Just to say, in case it isn’t evident, sometimes I love @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social more than life itself. I say sometimes as when I’m watching netball super league or playing netball, ask me that same question again. wouldn’t be doing all of it without her and @allymcgovern.bsky.social

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social think I csn already guess what everyone’s favourite song would be if they liked Espresso Macchiato… watch Greece and see if I’m not wrong

"Rarely, if ever, is anyone given a diplomatic posting directly following such a spectacular failure, especially one that did so much damage to American interests around the world." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of April 5, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Happy Easter!

All MPs are well paid, including Ms Spencer. To suggest that Ms Spencer is one of the few who understand what it's like to be poor is breathtakingly arrogant.

Im not sure how many of us Hannah has bothered to talk to before writing this, but it’s insulting and over simplistic. I would suggest she engages with colleagues, rather than making populist slurs like this - feeding anti trust in politics. Really disappointing tbh.

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social Been living the dream over the last month because of you and @allymcgovern.bsky.social Head coaches of AO Manchester Thunder and London Mavericks super league netball teams, and get to attend my first home Mavericks derby against Pulse at WEMBLEY in May :O

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social by the way i've been meaning to ask, are you coming to ProgBrit this year? we missed you last year

✝️ Today is Good Friday, a day when Christians reflect on the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. I hope those in #Battersea attending services today have a peaceful & meaningful day

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social this is the reason ive been missing your shows. Travelling too and from Cardiff to watch the super league and meet the coaches and players. These are 2 of the best coaches in the league. Kareg Greig of AO Manchester Thunder and Tamsin Greenway of London Mavericks

Loving @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social show. First one i've been able to catch in a while due to the hectic nature of the Netball Super League. Such candid and well thought out conversations as always

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social I know you watch Eurovision, all I can say is prepare for a shock of all of shocks… one of our biggest artists of yesteryear is not representing us but representing someone else 😭

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

A Reform UK leader took Russian bribes and is now in prison. £40,000 was enough to betray Britain. This is not a smear, it is a conviction. If you still think Reform are patriots, ask who they really serve. Our democracy must never be for sale.

Powerful men who abused or benefited from the abuse of women and girls need to be held to account. I asked today for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to be held accountable to police & Parliament over reports he handed sensitive information to Epstein & accomplices, among other serious allegations.

Tell you what “Sir Jim”, when you stop being a resident of Monaco for tax purposes and actually contribute to the U.K’s schools, hospitals, and defence we will start listening to you. Oh, and stop spouting utter rubbish on migration.

No 10 are absolutely right about Jim Ratcliffe’s comments. He is wrong on many counts. Ratcliffe is Britain’s seventh-richest man, who moved to tax-free Monaco in 2020, and yet can’t see the irony of his own awfulness at slating the poorest in society and immigrants.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

On #SaferInternetDay, it’s clear that AI is making online abuse worse. Deepfake sexual images are violence against women and girls. Online harm is real harm. We must act now with strong protections and guardrails that put people before profit. shorturl.at/JYXNO

It's important to remember we're not "all the same." Across Labour, there are hundreds of hardworking MPs, councillors and activists who are want to deliver change in their communities. We cannot let "Scandelson" get in the way of our values. Me on @bbclaurak.bsky.social this morning👇

Amidst the noise, we must never forget the voices of the women and children who were trafficked and assaulted for years by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful accomplices. Mandelson should never have been pushed for the role of US ambassador, he and other hugely powerful men must be held to account.

An important interview. Timms is a minister who can claim proper authority expertise in his field. Hs talking of support for those who need it to into work and for those who need long term help. Above all, this will cut child poverty by more than any other government in history.

Not really thinking of this as preventing “further embarrassment,” more like one step closer to justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the true extent of the monstrosities he enabled.
