This is the new leader of Kent CC. People need to think carefully before sanewashing this dangerous nonsense for its "whacky fun" or "camp energy". To paraphrase Goldblum: "Oooh! Ahhh! That's how it always starts, but then later there's running and screaming." Good job @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social.

I love the NHS but it’s completely absurd to be prescribed fairly urgent meds at A&E only to find that the hospital pharmacy is *shut on a Sunday* which then requires you to drive around multiple supermarket pharmacy counters in vain search of this elusive medicine before everything shuts at 4pm

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social on fire this morning on UK media ( GMB ) Eloquently took no prisoners. Just what was needed . Brilliant.

@ayeshahazarika.bsky.social cannot believe the Reform Head of Kent Council has refused to distance themself from the covid vaccine being linked to Royal Family cancers live on your Times radio show. Completely irresponsible attitude.

Inside Labour is a hard-working, decent party wanting to make a difference. They need a chance to sort themselves out. Trying to please the right fails us all and makes it far too easy for Farage. Fair from @iandunt.bsky.social then @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/377...

"That woman was inciting violence. She is free to think her horrible, horrible, racist thoughts. That is fine. What she isn't allowed to do is go and incite violence." Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika on the Lucy Connolly case. #Newsnight

🧵Spoke to @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social earlier about the two child cap & why, leaving aside the moral case, I think the political case for scrapping it is stronger than appreciated. It's a good e.g of where headline polling only tells part of the picture & obscures more than it reveal

Some common sense from @ayeshahazarika.bsky.social following some lazy union-bashing in the House of Lords debate on the Employment Rights Bill: "If we want growth, decent standards are not a luxury, they are an imperative. And we should support trade unions to do that.”
