Personal Independence Payment review Two co-chairs for the government's review of PIP have been appointed and the recruitment for the steering group has begun. Terms of reference have also been updated following the changes to the Universal Credit Act earlier this year. 1/4

What a hideous man he is. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Illegal working crack down Under Operation Sterling the government is running the largest ever enforcement crackdown on illegal working. Visits are up 51%, arrests up 63%. 8000 illegal migrants working have been found. Business owners risk £60k fines, 5yrs in jail and their business closed.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

It is unbelievable that not a single session for the Terminally Ill Adults Bill Committee will include terminally ill people. You cannot exclude their voices, and their experience is vital in understanding the workability of the proposed. #AssistedDyingBill humanists.uk/2025/10/29/t...

Politicians should “feel empowered” to leave platforms like X – formerly Twitter – if they believe it presents a greater risk than benefit to their work, according to a damning new report from the House of Commons’ speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle

These are #LabourAchievements and they are #FixingBritain. Private School VAT has delivered more than expected and billions extra delivered by HMRC collecting on underpaid tax by the wealthy. This is why the media hate Labour. Don’t be fooled.

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP. And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

A man is judged by the company he keeps.

The focus on public transport is brilliant. Connectivity is essential for growth both for people and for businesses. Also imperative to meet Net Zero. This is an excellent move. Well done Labour

RAAC in schools Another Tory scandal left for Labour to clean up! (I've even seen someone suggest a Tory government minister was keen to ignore it so it became a scandal for Labour to clean up) Here the Labour Education Secretary gives us an update on progress to eliminate it across England. 1/3

I called out a Reform MP’s racist comments in Parliament today. I withdrew calling her a racist for her racist comments. But let’s be clear - racism has no place in Parliament or our politics.

Waking up, again, to the sound of two white men on the radio arguing about whether it is ok to be made "mad" by the very sight of black and Asian people on TV. 😒

Farage: epic grifter

Despite most people in the UK never giving a second though to conflicts around the world beyond those in the Middle East, I am always grateful that our Labour government does. Here, the Foreign Secretary gives us an update on the recent devastating & horrifying developments in Sudan. 1/2

Never, and I mean NEVER let a Tory ever claim again they are fiscally responsible and safe at managing public money. Time & again they have been proven to waste billions of public money without a 2nd thought. Latest is the inadequacies in the contracts asylum seeker temporary accommodation.

Awaab’s Law is now in force! It protects social housing tenants from emergency hazards & damp and mould. It is a lasting legacy to Awaab Ishak, who died after being exposed to mould at his Rochdale home. Labour have also expanded the law to ALL landlords, which comes in to force from Nov 2025.

Last week certain people (Tories and Reform) were criticising free breakfast clubs in primary schools. But you know, I know and anyone sensible knows the benefits. But in case you didn't know, here is Labour clearly setting out the whole range of beneifts! www.instagram.com/p/DQTzuCxEr5o/

Better protection for victims at risk of violence as fee scrapped From next month, survivors of violence and domestic abuse will no longer have to pay £318 to ensure their abuser cannot track them down via public records. Cannot believe this was ever something people were forced to pay for!

New common-sense approach to environmental regulation to support new homes drive Builders to save time and money from streamlined and proportionate reforms to environmental permits www.gov.uk/government/n...

This is another move towards an authoritarian State but didn’t make the headlines on #r4today.

11 things Labour have announced this last week positively impacting our country. Faster healthcare access, new rail station, improved road junction in Essex and Min Wage set to rise with inflation protecting millions. Labour delivering every single day.

"..our health & social care system only functions bcs nursing staff of every ethnicity, nationality & faith make it so. We're urging govt & politicians of all parties to recognise their role in tackling racism...that must include an end...of anti-migrant rhetoric" www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Cold and wet, out with Foxy this morning #hestbankbeach #Morecambe

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has refused to withdraw a misleading and inaccurate statement that scapegoated disabled people and other benefit claimants for the country’s economic problems. #Budget #DisabilityBenefits www.disabilitynewsservice.com/reeves-refus...

Labour delivering on the economy, child protection and speeding up Windrush payments. It’s just in a week’s work for Labour only you don’t hear about it in the amplification of our Media for RW politics. This is what left wing politics means. Every day!

Here are some more details on these plans: www.gov.uk/government/n...

Ed: "Our NHS should be spending money on patients, not energy bills." He explains why the Labour government are investing in solar panels to harness the power of the sun in order to save our hospitals money, which can then be reinvested in services. Thanks Ed! www.instagram.com/p/DQL9ihZjWE-/

Advances in science set to transform treatments for people living with dementia From blood tests to AI, new ways to diagnose dementia sooner and treat it faster set to be unlocked by new research challenge. www.gov.uk/government/n...

UK unleashes first dogs trained to detect synthetic opioids Border Force becomes the first agency in the world to use specially trained dogs to detect both deadly fentanyl and nitazenes. Synthetic opioids pose a growing public health challenge. 1/2

After a couple of weeks of the odious Badenoch blaming Labour for the failure of a China spy court case, it seems it was down to the Conservatives all along: BBC News - Key China spy case witness removed 'enemy' from evidence under Tories www.bbc.com/news/article...

Another week, another approval of a major green energy project by the government. This week it's the turn of the Stonestreet Green solar farm, near Ashford in Kent. It is expected to have a capacity of up to 100MG! www.gov.uk/government/n...

"Reform don't have a plan. They talk the country down. Their sums don't add up. But Labour will always do what is best for Britain. Refore cannot say the same thing." Well said @adamthompsonmp.bsky.social, Labour MP and trained physics teacher (who knows a little bit about maths)

Big Coalition of the Willing meeting in London today aiming to increase pressure on Russia. The UK PM will push countries to: + take Russian oil totally out of the global market + use more Russia assets to support Ukraine + provide Ukraine with more long-range capabilities

Major NHS update brings menopause into routine health checks Menopause advice will be added to free health checks to help millions of women get the care they need. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Ah but you see you are doing Dodgy Dick Tice a disservice. In his business dealings he has long been a green energy champion. It's just that he doesn't want anybody to know about it.... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

🌞⚡ The UK just approved plans for what could become England’s biggest #solar farm, a huge step toward cleaner, #renewable energy ☀️🇬🇧🔋 that could power hundreds of thousands of homes and cut down on fossil fuels 🌍💪 #ClimateAction #CleanEnergy

I like asking such types if they have any idea who Keir Hardie was without googling. 99.9% the time it's resulted in them chucking insults silence or immediately blocking me If they don't know who he was, they certainly don't know anything about Robert Owen or the history of 🇬🇧 & 🇮🇪 Liberal Socialism.

Simplifying environmental regulation The £150m Falmouth Docks redevelopment will become the latest project to benefit from having a single lead environmental regulator to speed up planning approvals by slashing bureaucracy while upholding all existing environmental protections. 1/2

There is now no difference between Reform and the Conservatives, they share the same far right views and dream the same far right dreams.

The UK's legal ban doesn't stop assisted dying, it just drives it underground, increasing the chance of people dying alone or before they otherwise would. For those who make the difficult decision to travel with loved ones, the consquences can be life changing. Thank you Louise for speaking out.

The current law on #AssistedDying isn’t compassionate – it’s cruel. When Louise travelled with her husband Anthony to Switzerland so he wouldn’t have to die alone, she returned to a ten-month police investigation. These are tragedies that simply should not be. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

You might have heard about the Council of Europe's anti-trafficking convention in the last few weeks (possibly for the first time). Find out what it is and how it works👇 #NoTrafficking
