UK government to reintroduce maintenance grants (rather than loans) for students from the lowest income families www.gov.uk/government/n...

Worth remembering this when you hear Reform talking about swans, autism and ‘science never being settled’.

Went down to look at the fruits (literally and metaphorically) of the work from Lady Pit Lane allotments today #NorthernNewtwork Bountiful

What Nick and his team don't know about defeating the fash, isn't worth knowing. To say I enjoyed this recording feels weird in the context of the subject matter, but being in the presence of someone so steeped in knowledge about how to turn people off populism and onto progressivism, was great.

Musk accuses the LibDem leader of "cowardice" for opposing Musk's advocacy of pre-emptive violence (interethnic conflict, anti-migrant violence & partisan violence) to kick off a British civil war. This shows that Musk just has no idea of the gravity of advocating political violence & civil war

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Sadiq is right, "for our leaders silence is no longer enough. The time has come to stand up and say: this is not who we are"... But we're not holding our breath! And meanwhile we will say it ourselves - LOUD & CLEAR TODAY!

The Labour MP for East Thanet, Polly Billington MP, has written to the Reform Leader of Kent County Council to express her concern about Reform in Kent’s "continued endorsement of anti-science organisations and conspiracy theories" in a new motion on climate change (🧵)

Some highlights from the anti-Trump demo

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

THIS IS A BIG DEMO #TRUMP

This. 1000 times this. It’s like we don’t count.

"The big orange elephant in the room that we're all tiptoeing around is the fact that Mandelson was chosen for that position, to be the interface with President Trump, not despite his questionable connections and his rather ephemeral morals, but because of them. Because he shares them with Trump."

This needs to be followed by action, particularly on protecting trans people, but the rhetoric is extremely welcome www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the government must recognise and respond to a "increasingly visible tide of racism" . He acknowledges trans people feel less safe today than a decade ago. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk starts firing Starship rockets at Parliament. Kemi Badenoch: I feel that Musk has important points to make and I support his right to express himself through the medium of ballistic missiles.

Two very important graphs. Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved. The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers. Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

Are you in or near Henley? I've just added a last minute extra tour preview there on 25 Sept - come along! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/honk-henle...

New NAO report finds the cost of a place in a children's care home has nearly doubled in 5 years. The biggest private providers make average annual profits of 22.6%, many backed by private equity. And many children aren't getting what they need, placed far from home, in unlawful settings

Claire has overseen a period of pretty substantial (unprecedented?) growth in spending on mental health services ... Yet it's miles away from meeting need and demand The commitment to that growing investment now very clearly at an end

Charlie Kirk’s murder was utterly abhorrent and corrosive to our politics. So was much of the reaction to it- including from his allies. My piece. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

When people face a mental health crisis, it is important to make sure they are treated with compassion. We recently looked at people's experiences, and this is what they told us. Their experiences (along with many others) will be used to help make mental health crisis support better in Leeds #NHS111
