@BBCBreaking Who cares?

[Ben Beck 💙 @BenSE14]

@RepublicStaff Who cares? You don't need to join in the media publicity. Focus on the roles, not the personalities.

[Muriel Gray @ArtyBagger]

This is simply magnificent.

Keir Starmer may be resigning the office of Prime Minister but his legacy of total complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza will follow him forever.

US sanctions.
Here it what you need to know.
In the clearest words I have on the matter.

While ordinary people struggle every day to pay the rent or mortgage - Andrew was not only living in a palace for almost nothing, he was subletting them for cash.

The greed of the wealthy elites in this country is breathtaking.

Billionaires should be illegal. Anything over a billion should be taxed 100% and go to public services. There's no reason for any single person to have that much money.

Water privatisation has been outright theft.

Whoever is next PM must commit to ending this scandal and take our water back into public ownership.

No more failed regulation.

@74frankfurt Visited there by steam in 1960, and stayed in a converted BR coach. A nice reminder!

What has Cuba ever done to the United States? Except refuse to bow down and take a knee?

The US must end their brutal, sadistic blockade.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The Prime Minister says his government has got "the big political decisions right". Let's go through them.

The government chose to cut welfare so it could spend even more on weapons and war.

The government chose to demonise the sick and disabled.

The government chose to keep children in poverty until it was dragged kicking and screaming to finally scrap the two-child benefit cap.

The government chose not to bring water into public ownership, not to tax wealth and not to implement rent controls.

The government chose to arm Israel and participate in genocide.

The government chose to let the US use British air bases for its war crimes in Iran.

The government chose to let Palantir get its hands on our NHS.

The government chose to scapegoat migrants and refugees for its own failures.

Poverty, inequality and genocide. Those are the government's big decisions. And that is how this government will be remembered.

@ToryFibs • Lewisham +40

[Paul Holden @pauleholden]

Lewisham is another almost unbelievable result.

Labour has held EVERY councillor seat since 2018: 54 out of 54. In 2014, they held 53 out of 54, with a sole Green.

Today the Greens took control, winning 40 councillors.

Labour has held Lewisham for 55 YEARS.

No more.

[Lewisham Green Party @LewishamGreens]

Lewisham, meet your new mayor Liam 💚💚💚

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Absolutely phenomenal result!

Liam has run a powerhouse, community driven campaign.

And he's going to be a brilliant Mayor for Lewisham.

Lets go! 💚🥳

[Lewisham Green Party @LewishamGreens]

The time has come, Lewisham 🗳️

Polls are showing it's really close - EVERY SINGLE VOTE COUNTS

Let's make history 💚

[Lewisham Green Party @LewishamGreens]

⏰ The polls are open! Can you feel the ENERGY? 💚

Lewisham has been a one-party state for too long - but today feels different. The momentum is real, the people of Lewisham are ready for change.

GO VOTE 🙌

Polls close 10pm - let's go Lewisham!

@BBCPolitics End UK complicity in Israel’s genocide, NOT our right to oppose it.

You fail in your role, and you fail the Jewish community, by falsely linking rising anti-semitism to peaceful protest against the war crimes of the Israeli state. It is irresponsible crowd-pleasing.

[Defend Our Juries @DefendOurJuries]

@BBCPolitics Are the “incendiary protests” in the room with us? They’re trying to ban peace marches.

Has she considered asking the Labour cabinet to stop enabling Israel’s war crimes? Just a thought…
