Wild to see wealthy Reform politician "explaining" to poor people they don't understand their own experience. Let's make sure every single person in Gorton & Denton (and the country!) knows exactly that Reform is bankrolled by dodgy donors. Mask is off.

Reform have totally let the cat out of the bag about who they are. Zia Yusuf lecturing that poverty and peoples everyday struggles with rising bills and rent is exaggerated. A party of the failed status quo, funded and representing big corporate interests.

“If you’ve lived in Greater Manchester all your life like I have, or you came here yesterday — if you’re part of our community and you’re mucking in, you’re one of us.” Our candidate for Gorton and Denton, Hannah Spencer, rejects the demonisation of immigrants and calls for politics that unite.

What are the implications for British policy arising from Israel’s killing of over 400 Palestinians during a “ceasefire”? None. Foreign minister Hamish Falconer just “urges” “both sides” to respect it.

I just do not understand why the Mayor of London refuses to do this. I’ve asked him many times. TfL is a public body and public purpose should be rippled through it like a stick of rock. Taking adverts for fossil products like cars on the TfL network only undermines his transport strategy. 🤷♀️

The overall benefit cap must go. It is a cruel measure that keeps hundreds of thousands in deep poverty. Instead of persisting with austerity policies such as ripping support away from Disabled people, this Labour Govt must invest in social security that truly eliminates poverty. Scrap the cap.
