No one can say they weren’t warned if Reform ever get into power www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hounslow’s first Culture Strategy sets out a bold vision for the next decade to place #Hounslow on the map as a destination borough and place culture at its heart. To read more, visit www.hounslow.gov.uk/news/article... @salmanshaheen.bsky.social

If he was an ex Labour councillor that would almost certainly be the lead off to this story

This what will happen across the country if Reform takes control of councils. Sadly many of those telling us they support Reform will be the very people these policies will effect.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’ By Anthony Robinson (Read full article) The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit. #YorkshireBylines yorkshirebylines.co.uk/opinion/brex...

What has this Labour Government done for us? Much like the Romans in The Life of Brian, it turns out actually quite a lot.

If you think Farage is someone you can trust please spend a couple of mins watching this video

Not sure he or Trump actually knows what NATO Article 5 is.

Don’t believe the scaremongering from Reform - London is a safe city and the Mayor is working hard to make it even safer

Just reminded myself why I don’t go to Starbucks- £8.20 for two small black coffees at Victoria coach station; outrageous

Excellent

Cycling continues to grow in Chiswick and across Hounslow borough. We’re putting in cycling infrastructure that makes riding a bike safer as well as being fun and healthy and reducing congestion for those who need to use motor vehicles. @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social @labourhounslow.bsky.social

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Really pleased that the Labour Government is bringing back maintenance grants. This will make a huge difference for young people across London, especially as many have told me they have had to work 2 jobs just to afford to live while studying. www.gov.uk/government/p...

As we continue to expand London’s cycle network, the number of daily bike trips is soaring – up to 1,500,000 trips, a more than 40% increase on 2019.

They can't all be wrong 🤷🏽‍♂️

I have never liked the Telegraph’s politics but it did have a modicum of integrity now it is just tabloid with better grammar

Bet this doesn’t make the Mail or the Express or even BBC

According to the BBC Andy Burnham refuses to rule out challenging Starmer for leadership He should concentrate on Manchester (where he is doing a good job) rather than stirring up trouble for Labour

What I don’t understand is why the British press don’t hang Brexit around Nigel Farage’s neck like a stockade. It was the single worst act of economic self harm in modern British history. Why doesn’t the British media force him to own that?

So not crewed entirely by little Englanders like Georgina Foster how upsetting for her

Proud to have been selected again as a Labour Party candidate for Hounslow South ward in next year’s council election 🌹 Delighted to do so with these two wonderful people: for the third time with Karen Smith, and for the first time with Scott Hill. Looking forward to an exciting campaign!

A great initiative- but our schools should not really need air filters we all deserve clean air

Proud to be once again standing to represent #Isleworth alongside my fantastic colleagues Cllr Sue Sampson and Cllr John Stroud-Turp. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to serve Isleworth's residents these last years and we hope to continue working hard for our constituents.

This is what action on climate change looks like

Calling all parents and carers - we are consulting on the future of school places over the next 5 years. We need your input to shape our school organisation plan. If you only do one survey this year - make it this one! talk.hounslow.gov.uk/school-spaces

What a surprise- they abandon a made up policy totally devoid of any financial reality www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

To be fair it is their only actual policy- the rest is just useless chutney

The Tories are at war with themselves Kemi Badenoch’s shadow cabinet is a cacophony of contradictions 📫 Today’s Morning Call, with @georgeeaton.bsky.social

A cheap appeal to the disaffected - not an act of unity www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Defecting out self interest, they know the Tory Party is in terminal decline

One nation Conservatives left the building about 10 years ago as the Party drifted further to the right www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I guess buyer’s regret will soon set in for the good folk of Kent

I am sure I remember one of UKIPs claims was take back control of our borders- how did that work out?

You have to admire her ability to consistently make the wrong call - why don’t her advisors simply say ‘Kemi whatever you are thinking of doing or saying just do the opposite’

Absolutely- the lunatic right will go to Reform with the right of centre joining Davey on his paddle board

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Another astonishing sign of incredible incompetence from the UK Conservatives. They can’t even get right the name of the country they want to represent. (Image via LBC political editor Natasha Clark)

Both decent candidates but we need unity- I will vote Bridget Phillipson

Let’s not forget what happened the last time the Tories took us out of European treaty…. Have they learnt nothing

Bouncing at the Bridge

Our generals serve the country, not an ex-Fox News clown looking for headlines.

For anyone still thinking the Tories are a seroius political party….. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is a great achievement and shows what can be done if there is a will - never listen to the naysayers

Rather that stay in Parliament and take on the Tory Govt Burnham legged it - now he is sniping from the sidelines. His current meddling is both unhelpful and unwelcome

I still fail to understand why he is not under the media microscope- in a similar manner to Rayner

This is a disgrace they need to fire the person at the BBC who is charge of the News, they are clearly biased.

No words required.
