The final show of 2025: Kemi Badenoch’s hideous response to the misogyny crisis. The biggest moment of the year. Thrillers on the literature curriculum. And @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social. Ho Ho Ho! tinyurl.com/4rrn2mkx

Well colour me staggered.

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

🌹 🇬🇧 Real patriotism isn’t about shouting or division. It’s about service, responsibility and rebuilding Britain together argues Veterans Minister @alcarns.bsky.social

🌹 📣 GOOD NEWS! Your weekly roundup of the difference Labour is making in government.

I know it’s a low bar & I have a pretty terrible memory but I cannot remember any leader coming out with such racist, ignorant comments? It doesn’t even register with the mainstream media. Twenty yrs ago, Badenoch would’ve be thrown out of the Tory party. These days they make them leader.

The explosion of extreme and dangerous misogyny in our schools is down to influencers like Andrew Tate. Reminder: Nigel Farage once described Andrew Tate as “an important voice for men”.

Farage has been told to apologise for his alleged teenage racism by 26 school contemporaries who have written an open letter telling of their “dismay and anger” at his response in recent weeks.

Keir Starmer gives Reform some 'festive advice' 'If mysterious men from the East appear bearing gifts... this time report it to the police,' he jokes #PMQs

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has launched a formal investigation into foreign election interference after a former senior Reform UK politician accepted bribes to promote Russian interests in the European Parliament www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

A huge day for working people across the capital. The Employments Rights Bill will end exploitative zero-house contracts, guarantee sick pay from day one and strengthen workplace protections. It shows the impact of a Government working with trade unions to improve working lives.

📣 🌹 BREAKING: The Employment Rights Bill has passed Parliament. It's a landmark win for working people says @labourunionsuk.bsky.social chair Joanne Thomas.

To transform Britain and defeat the far-right, Labour needs a grassroots movement in every community. Our plummeting membership figures prove the top-down model has failed. The answer is to democratise, open up, and empower members. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

How refreshing to hear the head of the Met on LBC dropping truth bombs galore on all the bots, Faragists & online racists dedicated to lying about London.

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

UPDATE on the the independent inquiry into grooming gangs. I welcome the appointment of Baroness Anne Longfield as the Chair of the inquiry and I am urging her to come to Bradford and listen to victims and survivors.

Child sexual exploitation and abuse, carried out by grooming gangs, is one of the most horrific crimes imaginable and leads to lasting harm for victims. I hope the inquiry will identify past failures, hold those to account who covered up crimes, and bring justice for victims and survivors.

A shocking scandal, getting the government action it deserves. Over the last decade, around 185,000 unpaid carers have been pursued regarding overpayments in their Carer’s Allowance. Through no fault of their own, many working carers have faced sudden bills running into the thousands of pounds.

I’m glad Jimmy’s case is now getting the coverage it deserves. It was great to have the chance to shine a light on the injustice faced by all those still in prison as a result of IPPs. I look forward to meeting with the Justice Secretary and hopefully speeding up the process to bring Jimmy home.

So, Farage who’d previously failed 7 times to be an MP, decided that in Clacton he’d rely on his old Brexit friends - cheating (and racism) - to get him his win. With millions now pouring into Reform, it’s beyond time to properly investigate this grubby little man www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Finally, a foe worthy of her talents.

18 years in prison for a 2.5-year tariff and STILL no release date. Today at #PMQs, I told the Prime Minister about Jimmy, the son of Shipley constituents Mike and Sue. I called on the PM to help put an end to the injustices caused by IPP sentences and support Jimmy’s Parents to get him home.

Farage. Grifter-in-chief. Racist. Russian asset. Trump groupie. He gets an MP’s salary and spends his time doing anything but. A professional piss-taker and national security (and sanity) threat, leading the polls to be the next PM. Come on UK. Get some sodding self-respect.

Oh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's the satirists I feel sorriest for.

seriously? this is beyond a joke 'party'

Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.

Zia Yusuf rattled as he’s asked about Nathan Gill

‘Raid’? Really? In the FT?

Don’t forget, no matter how much Nigel Farage tries to shape Reform UK’s economic policy to win votes, at heart he’s a disaster capitalist. #Budget2025

Massive news for carers. I urged the government to implement the findings of the Independent Review into Carer's Allowance in full in a debate I led in parliament just last week. I am delighted that the government are putting right the wrongs caused by the Carers Allowance overpayment scandal.

To effectively address the current housing crisis, we must build homes that will last a life time, that are accessible and adaptable for people as they age, and that give older people options to down size. Check out my column in Labour List on older people’s housing: labourlist.org/2025/11/anna...

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... I mean I’m so glad you have private healthcare and were obviously seen really quickly but PLEASE, don’t you fucking dare start talking about ‘targeted screening or other fast track treatments’ when your austerity has caused the mess the NHS is in.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*. Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”
