58, married with 2 children I’m so proud of. Interested in politics, sport & culture, but horrified at the poison stirred up on X thanks to Musk’s algorithms. I hope that BlueSky will provide the platform that Twitter used to provide. Labour activist.

People love tae ochone about Farage as PM but the evidence says a Reform government would implode in weeks. It's the authoritarianism after it that concerns me.

Nostalgic for the 30th anniversary of the release of Different Class, Antony? They don’t write them like that anymore.

I bet the media will be hounding him for weeks over this, just like Rayner. 🙄

Mason happily let the Tories blame the previous Labour government for 14 years, so getting all hissy about Labour rightly arguing that it has a great deal of damage to fix after just 10 months is ludicrous.

Chris Mason: Labour is still blaming the Conservatives

“Nigel Farage stands for absolutely none of this. But that is what working people want. A Labour Government on their side.

“We must repair the social contract. We must unite the country against Reform. And we must show that we are the only party that can deliver change for working people.”

Starmer - [Farage is] A state-slashing, NHS-privatising, Putin apologist.

“Without a single patriotic bone in his body. We will take to fight to him. We will fight as Labour.

On the issue of VAT on private schools, Starmer expresses support for the policy and criticises the Conservatives for pretending to care about the state sector schools. #PMQS #UKPolitics

I spoke with UK Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer.
We discussed the current developments and exchanged views on the next steps.
We are coordinating our positions and doing everything to achieve guaranteed peace as soon as possible and bring an end to this war.
Peace is needed for all of us. A just peace with clear security guarantees. Together with the leadership of the United States and all of Europe, this is absolutely achievable.
I am grateful for the advice and support during this challenging time. We will always remember everything the British people have done for Ukrainians and our shared security.

Almost 1M agency workers are set to benefit from new govt zero-hour contract protections as Ministers tabled amendments to the Employment Rights Bill. The changes will mean a further 900,000 agency workers – including 2180 here in #SouthCambs - enjoy protections.

It’s a reflex action for her. She can’t help defending the far-right, no matter what.

Nigel Farage has exposed his true feelings in wake of the Trump-Zelenskyy White House row Battle for Kyiv director Oz Katerji gives his verdict on the Reform leader's comments and how he appears to be continuing to try to cosy up to Trump and Putin simultaneously

My debut for @theleaduk.bsky.social on Nigel Farage's relentless water carrying for the Kremlin. He may no longer work for Russia Today, but that hasn't stopped him from engaging in pro-bono PR work for Putin.

Employment Rights Bill to boost productivity for British workers and grow the economy The Government will today table amendments to the Employment Rights Bill.

Following consultations, the government is set to make amendents to the Worker's Rights Bill to further strengthen the position of millions of workers.

Measures include:

- Ensure agency working doesn't become a loophole to get around plans to ban exploitative zero-hours contracts

457 British soldiers died in the war in Afghanistan post 2001.

And hundreds more in the illegal war in Iraq.

JD Vance should apologise and then resign, we can’t do business with people that don’t respect us.

3.) In an event of a peace deal, military aid will continue to deter any future invasion

4.) a coalition of the willing will ensure peace by boots on the ground in Ukraine

Especially, point 4 is essential for lasting peace.

Come on people. Farage is not a man of the people. He’s been raking it in ever since getting elected, doesn’t know where his constituency Clacton is, & parrots the lines of dictators Putin & Trump, who line his pockets. Farage is corrupt, not Ukraine. Turn away now from this fascist. Slava Ukraini🇺🇦
