Whether it’s this or Sunak’s helicopter fixation or Shapps using the RAF like a taxi service, or Truss booze and food bill, or Gove blagging a grace and favour pad, or the blurring of what counts as party and what counts as government they do seem to treat public money as though it is theirs
Last few days and a final push to get elected here in Sharoe Green, my mum and my wife out leafleting today ☀️in he sunshine☀️, Julie said “so many residents were stopping to chat and pledging there support for LABOUR” 🌹@prestonlabour @connord_291
My dear dad @PhillipsAdrian - former trustee of @nationaltrust - makes the case on @Channel4News for the Trust to reach a diverse public and recognise slavery as part of our national story. Seems obvious really
'How have we created a country in which the people in charge can stand accused of such epic and fatal failure by their own colleagues while we sit here absolutely certain not a single head will roll.'
@MrJamesOB reacts to a damning report into the government handling of Covid.
Today, the government is emptying the pockets of millions of low-paid workers and poor households by slashing Universal Credit by £20 a week.
As media outlets cheer Boris Johnson's speech, keep in mind the hundreds of thousands of families being driven into poverty and hardship.
Last night @McrLabour elected me as the new Leader of Manchester. I’m humbled to have the privilege to lead our fantastic city. Commiserations to the other great candidates @RahmanCllr @GarryBridges @Ekua4Hulme but Mcr Labour is strong & united. Manchester- We won’t let you down
Absolutely delighted that we’ve tonight elected @bevcraig as the next Leader of Manchester Labour Group and Manchester City Council.
Our first woman leader and a brilliant one at that. 🌹
Great to see this from @Shelter@ShelterGM during Conservative Party Conference in Manchester. If government are serious about tackling the housing & homelessness crisis we urgently need to increase the stock of net zero council housing, whilst also scrapping right to buy!✊🏻🏘🏡
I’m in America and it’s very interesting how news about the UK is reported without the bias of British newspapers or the nervousness of the BBC. Britain’s petrol crisis is a direct consequence of Brexit - this is just an accepted fact everywhere (except where it’s happening).
Wow what a night! Thank you to everyone who joined on Saturday to celebrate the finale to @LancsEncounter & the Thank You parade.
Despite the heavy rain it was great to see the streets of #Preston lined with people and lit by the fantastic acts, participants & volunteers.
It's disappointing that Andy McDonald would distract from a successful conference by grandstanding like this. He hasn't been a high profile member of the shadow cabinet so his departure enables Keir to promote a heavier hitter, one who understands collective responsibility.
