"The latest update from the Office for Budget Responsibility moved in a better direction due to the strength of receipts and stronger wage performance. As well as filling the £20 billion gap, Reeves is still expected to deliver headroom against her fiscal rules investinglive.com/news/british...

Succinctly put by Pete 👏

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

So seems Labour’s budget plans have changed because the OBR forecasts have improved e.g. the U.K. economy has improved. This is positive news. Too many rushed out negative hot takes this morning.

@pippacrerar.bsky.social and chums..

@pippacrerar.bsky.social Here’s an actual example of news that people want to hear. Try it.

Drip, drip, drip. More and more good news and positivity coming into the public domain. So much of it for our young people and families. This really matters. And no other Party can achieve this because they don’t look after our young. They look after their donors.

🚨 NEW: The Government has announced no fault evictions will be illegal from May 2026 Some other reforms from the Renters' Rights Act that will come into effect in May include: - Rent capped at one rise per year with challenges allowed on excessive hikes

Well, well, well. Hence the desperate article by Rigby this morning.

Bloody Red Tories Pt. 237.

Starmer and Reeves have a 10 yr plan. I like their plan. I don’t expect it to materialise in 16 months. And I don’t expect it to be without its challenges. I also accept external factors will play a part. That’s why it’s a 10 year plan. 50+ manifesto pledges achieved/on course

The net is closing in.

Yes Wes. That’s exactly what it is.

Unacceptable. Horrific. Intolerable. Time to put racism back in its box.

The populist at it again. It’s all Labour’s fault Rupert Lowe is a fascist. The gullible lapping it all up in the comments.

I’d be asking for my money back. All sounds a bit dodgy to me.

This Government has introduced free breakfast clubs, additional free childcare hours and increased the minimum wage, it'll be great news if they remove the 2 child cap but let's not pretend they've done nothing for the less well off.

Want to know why the prisons system seems to be suddenly falling apart? Well, it's not sudden. It's just suddenly being REPORTED. This rot was a deliberate policy choice, and I kept the receipts. Because I'm not the BBC. (A note on what Tories did to cause this, from The Decade In Tory)

It seems some people have forgotten or refuse to acknowledge this shit. They all need to have a cognitive test.

@ofcom.bsky.social -anything ?

Starmer can't say this publicly but it's what he and Labour should be telling the BBC very clearly and aggressively in private.

Reform leader branded “captain chaos” as Kent fire authority in disarray www.fbu.org.uk/news/2025/11...

Polanski doing the populist thing again. He’ll be writing Tax The Rich on the side of a bus soon.

I’ll leave this here. You know who you are.

Labour showing the country that Farage is nothing but a traitor to this country. Backed by foreign money.

It’s not just about poppies. It’s about showing respect. Where respect is due.

Oh this is lovely. We need to see more of this. All over the place.

It is a breath of fresh air to hear this.

Knife murders are down by almost 20% in a year. This government won’t stop until knife crime is halved. Labour will pursue this mission relentlessly, doing everything we can to get these weapons off our streets and protect young lives.

£55 billion R&D funding boost to unlock UK breakthroughs from health to clean energy! Labour government announce long term funding committments with boost for science and tech breakthroughs that improve lives, create jobs and grow our economy! This can REALLY make a difference for years to come!

Think today is a good day to repost this wee gem. Labour will need to get a move on if they want to match the Tories scandals.

Some encouraging news in an area which is vital to both the economy and the environment, particularly to a region like the North East  | Peter Sagar

Pass it on.

www.theguardian.com/politics/201... remember the calls for him to resign by the Tory’s? The demands by the Tory’s for a ‘full investigation? … instead they all explained it was a ‘genuine mistake’

Thank you Byline Times for getting the good stuff out there. There’s a lot of it. This just a fraction. All these things are for the benefit of the people of this country. It’s called socialism if anyone is struggling to understand what that word means.

Last night, I hosted Marcus Ryder and Lenny Henry in Parliament to discuss their new book, ‘The Big Payback’. This book offers a crucial starting point for tackling the lasting inequalities and racism born out of enslavement and colonialism.

Good old Warren. Where would we be without him.

🤣🤣🤣

Labour #FixingBritain

The Tories’ legacy in education was ceilings made from dangerous concrete being held up by steel props. Fixing it will be Labour’s. Children learning in safety, classrooms fit for purpose, every child shown that they matter. My piece for @DailyMirror ✍️ www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Labour's Renters Rights Bill is coming into law. This is what it means ⬇️

This is such a great thread. Simple to understand and makes sense of where we are now.

Big day for #LabourAchievements yesterday. They’re busy #FixingBritain for ordinary people. Investing in our schools, helping families with winter bills and improving buses. 👏👏👏

The Times and Mail going fruit loop again. This government is really getting to them. It’s sent them all mad.

Farage: epic grifter

The corrupt UK media is pretending it’s PM Starmer’s fault - they’re lying to Britain

Things are getting better. Don’t let anyone tell you they’re not. The populists scream empty words and vie for attention on both sides of the spectrum. Let them. All they have is fairy stories. Improved lives will get the vote come the next election.

Would anyone be interested if I posted a thread mapping the first year+ of this gvt onto some organisational /individual change models ? It wouldn't be complex, and I haven't seen anyone else do it, but I'm surprised no one has. I'm not a big influencer but this is rattling around in my head!

She can delete it all she likes but it won’t go away.

I can’t believe in the 21stC that these places are being rented out. This is a fantastic step to further give tenants the right to a safe home.
