Well done on braving the freezing cold 🥶🥶🥶

Much needed

…good news, NHS getting up off its knees, social housing, rent reforms etc. There’s room for improvement & lots more to do but governing isn’t like the Premier League where every 3 months, the manager gets sacked

Strange how the media ignore the comments of their pony in the race.

A lot of ppl recognise this at least. I haven't agreed with everything he's done, far from it. Yet he's done some good stuff, and with less than he'd like. We hardly hear about the things he's put right though. I used to list them, yet even I'm drained now.

This week, Labour launched their National Cancer Plan We had been hearing about measures it would contain for the last couple of week, but we now have the full plan. It is particularly worth remember that we have a ministerial team with lived experience of cancer. 1/3

What are you not satisfied with? 👇👇

Great thread, I have tried explaining this to people. It’s difficult to get people to understand, especially as Badenoch chooses to ignore the reasons unemployment is up and regularly brings it up in HoC and interviews.

I cannot get my head around the cognitive dissonance of Reform, on the one hand saying, people without children should pay more tax, and an on the other hand saying, why should the taxpayer foot the bill for other people's children.

Well said

Two massive announcements this week for Labour with direct impact on every one of us. The Cancer Care Plan and the Pride of Place levelling up. Our Government busy making our Country better and our life chances better than ever after a cancer diagnosis. Well done to Our PM.

The unparalleled orgy of slurs & innuendo against the PM, by the right-wing media, is a sign that they want him out, because they fear him. A PM of 18 months experience, will not be the same PM in 4 years time. They want someone from the left, who they can grind down. We should support the PM.

The Prime Minister has directly appointed Lord Richard Walker as the Government’s Cost of Living Champion today.

Exactly this

Barry Gardner is always the voice of sanity you need in a crisis is not something you hear often.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that a leader who takes the amount of personal shit this one does but still carries on with the job in the face of it has to be strong, not weak? Starmer isn't a perfect PM, no one ever could be, but he's making a welcome difference to my country & he should stay.

James OBrien says renters rights and workers rights dont matter when considering Starmer’s fate. He’s wrong. All of Starmer’s improvements matter. Especially to British children and families.

Given the dynamics with Trump, Mandelson was a logical (if purely realpolitik-driven) appointment. It’s just a shame that he turns out to be such a corrupt, apparently criminal arsehole.

Exactly.

The "error" allowed UK to avoid large tariffs from US and allowed a trade deal with US favourable to UK.

That‘s the spirit.

They are....there is an investigation in to foreign financial interference into our politics that is happening NOW and is due to report next month

"Farage hasn’t owned up to the £850,000 to not buy his house (avoiding stamp duty), £380,000 in declared income, £200,000 from Kazakhstan oligarch who paid for him to go to Davos, now he and his Treasurer are all over the Epstein files. At what point does the media report this?" posted by KoH.

Kash Patel and all the other Trump loyalists are acting as fascist gate keepers of the Epstein files. Releasing Mandelson and Andrew Windsor stuff (but no Americans); a) deflects media heat from Trump. b) damages UK Labour and enhances Farage’s chances. It’s a win-win for trump and Republicans.

In 14 years, the Tories only managed a net increase of about 500 places. And yes, we DO need more spaces. Lack of investment by the Tories mean we a significantly short. Even with Labours plans for fewer short sentences and more commuinity based sentence options, more spaces are needed. 2/2

This tells you everything you need to know about Farage🤬

'The biggest scandal to hit UK politics'? It's up there, but Johnson's links to Lebedev? Dominic Cummings weird, covert Vote Leave 'cabal'? The IEA? Covid fraud & unnecessary deaths? God, even Braverman leaking files by the minute? The prorogation farce? #Newsnight

Just to upset everyone here... Labour have created a £10m financial support package to help families of children and young people with cancer with the costs of travel to and from appointments.

Remember this at GE time, Reform and Torys don’t care about the poor.

Farage defends Reform UK donations from firm with links to foreign-born billionaire, saying they're 'perfectly legitimate' - www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Protect our NHS, don’t vote Reform! #NeverVoteReform

I’m so sick of this c*** from Reform/ Tory’s, always happy to kick the poorest in society. And Farage has managed to convince people he’s in favour of lifting the 2 child benefit cap🤬. When will his supporters wake up and realised what an evil man he really is. I hope they never get near power.

Also the review of PIP will include Disability Experts -

The national cancer plan will change lives by improving early diagnosis. That’s the most important thing, but the impact of financial worries, increased by what seem like minor things like transport, should never be underestimated. Any help is good and this will be a big help for lots of families.

...National Cancer Plan and forms part of a wider package to transform young people's cancer care, including earlier diagnosis, expanded genomic testing to better access to clinical trials and psychosocial support. 2/2 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Over 300,000 children are set to benefit from Best Start free breakfast clubs in April, as the government prioritises support to tackle the cost of living. From:

So got the BBC on in the background and Mandelson is second story,report now longer than the main story But fck me not one word about Farage mentioned over 20 times. Not one. Mandelson deserves all he gets but seems the BBC are again protecting Farage. WTF is wrong with the media,we see you. Fck you

I try and rattle off a few facts sometimes but the response is always well yes but whatabout. This Government won't fulfil all our personal manifestos but if free breakfast clubs, extra free childcare hours, Better Start centres and so much more isn't Labour I don't know what it.

It is part of a wider Child Poverty Strategy, lifting over 550,000 out of poverty by the end of the Parlimament. The delivery of the strategy is a key Labour manifesto promise and was published last year. Work on implementing it is ongoing, like with this bill being debated on Tuesday. 2/2

I thought this clown was supposed to be a political academic. He has a rather confused understanding of elections. If the Prime Minister had to resign every time their party lost a by-election, we would have the removal men outside no 10 every couple of months. What a numpty.

If anybody knows any voters in Gorton and Denton, show them this when you next speak to them. Listen to what they have said in the past, not just what they tell you on the doorstep. They will say anything to get your vote, look at Trump in US. Reform/Advance use the same playbook.

A reminder how the Government is helping with cost-of-living

They are being used to direct voting not predict it at the moment.

Best of luck Angeliki. A great local candidate who has been a Cllr for almost 15 years. Former European Parliament candidate, and someone rooted in the Labour movement.

Well said

Indeed, Starmer is rebuilding relationships with the EU, and has been doing so since taking office. Those who pretend we can rejoin the EU immediately are the same type of charlatans who told you Brexit would be all ‘sunny uplands”! It’s complicated and will take time
