Most honest answer that Putin loving chancer has ever given

A Labour government…. Shameful

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs

Picking up some #litter while walking the #dog is a simple idea but so effective where there are lots of us doing it as fewer people actually drop litter when areas are clean

It’s also fab for #mentalhealth doing something that has an immediate,visible impact. Join us! #dogsofbluesky

Never one to miss the chance of a drive-by insult in the Commons, Ed Davey asks Keir Starmer if Dubai exiles like Isabel Oakeshott should "start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us do."

As the price of natural gas spikes across Europe for the fourth time in the last five years remember those extremely clever people in Reform and the Conservatives who want to abandon renewable energy and rely even more on gas 🤡 🤡

That’s a £30 billion black hole in our economy, according to the IFS. And a ‘car crash’ for our care industry & the NHS. Just for starters. On the plus side, Bromsgrove currently has hundreds of union flags flying from lampposts.

This maybe wouldn't matter if tv news and newspapers didn't matter. But they carry an enormously outsized influence on political elites, who are now hearing the mouthpieces of the elderly as if they're the voices of the nation. It's a disastrous situation.

I’m glad I am not the only one to have noticed this golden rule of Rentoul’s commentary!

It's either this or the figures at the top of the party being delusionally attached to a theory of elections and voters that has no resemblance to the realities of the contemporary British electorate.

If Starmer is listening about the need to change course after the Gorton humbling (he isn’t), the first thing he should do is change his Home Secretary.

Labour should be kind to the Greens Labour's instinct is not to give the left what they want, but to chastise them for even wanting it

"Once again, it seems the Labour leadership’s instinct is not to give progressives what they want, but to chastise them for even wanting it."

You can’t market yourself as the anti-Reform party when you use language and present policies that are (at least) Reform-lite… Voters can see who the real alternatives are - be that the Greens, PC, or of course, my party 🔶

A badge of shame, especially given where we used to place. Much of the blame rightly goes to the Johnson-Truss-Sunak governments but Labour have only made things worse (and are not showing much sign of recognising that and changing course).

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives

If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

As a parent of a disabled child, you don’t want special treatment, just the right support to help your child thrive.

Yet families are battling for every assessment while private equity firms cash in.

We’ll end this racket, cap profits at 8%, and treat SEND as critical national infrastructure.

It’s Monday but don’t pretend you don’t see that #litter! 👀🐕 Too many just walk by.

We’re a powerful force for good.Let’s get visible so others follow.

29,000 #dog owners picking up litter to protect animals,communities & the #environment, removing over 42 MILLION every year

Skipping a full process on a contentious candidate, I see. Keor Starmer really is determined to just keep doing that until it works, isn't he?

Will our media environment even give those voters an opportunity to notice I wonder?

Oh, Labour.

So young white women must breed, old white women must shut up and cook (and clean behind the fridges), and black and brown women will be deported.

Is that the Reform message?

Tax paid by Ratcliffe - £0

Tax paid by immigrants - £15-25 billion estimated

Sky News: Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants, who are draining resources from the state, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, one of the country’s richest and most influential men, has told Sky News.⁠

Totally wrong. Totally out of step with British values. He should apologise now.

Thank you Christine ❤️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

I had an informative chat with Not in Our Name in Parliament about their work to support for the Trans+ community. I have signed their pledge. @nionwomen.bsky.social

And meanwhile in those Reform-run councils: bsky.app/profile/byli...
