Don’t believe anybody who tells you the NHS is coping. We are begging for mercy tonight.

Congratulations @AndyHollyer - you are the right pick for York Outer. I’ll be on the doorsteps with @LibDems this time round.

🟠YORK OUTER: Andrew Hollyer, a York city councillor, who stood here in 2024, has formally been chosen by local Lib Dems to fight the seat again.

From the owner: "A huge thank you to Isaac Crystal Clean Windows York Limited. After this incident happened, he kindly came and cleaned our windows for free. When he heard about the hateful graffiti, he even helped us wash off the paint that was covering the word Chinese."

Saying “It’s not racist, it’s just a flag painted on a roundabout” is like a kid saying “I’m not hitting you” while poking you on purpose. Technically true, deliberately provocative. Technicalities don’t erase intent.

Keir Starmer’s anti-immigration rhetoric isn’t just a dog whistle — it’s a foghorn to the far right.

It echoes Enoch Powell & fuels hate. Last summer, a hotel housing asylum seekers was set on fire. This is the deadly cost of pandering to racism.

Shame on the Prime Minister.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Labour losing one of its safest seats shows what happens when a government cuts disability benefits and winter fuel payments, keeps the two-child benefit cap, and panders to anti-migrant rhetoric:

Reform wins and always will.

This isn’t the change people voted for and it shows.

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

All that being said and done, with love, this is my time to bow out 6/6

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

It’s with a heavy heart that I’m stepping away from the Labour Party.

It was my strong sense of social justice that led me to join at 16, and it’s that same sense of justice that now compels me to leave 1/6

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

I’m so grateful for the opportunities the Labour Party have given me, not least the chance to stand as the PFCC candidate in the NY by-election. I’ll remember fondly the colleagues I’ve worked alongside and continue to support the incredible work so many of them do 5/6

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

I had dinner with 5 strangers last night at my first ever TimeLeft @apptimeleft event (sober, too, because I was driving) and I’d highly recommend it

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

It wasn’t awkward and we had a real laugh over some amazing tapas (@ambientetapas)

@GillsSteve True to my ADHD, only just got round to acknowledging this 😂 I’ve had to drive over an hour to part fulfil my prescription this month… but at least it’s something 😖

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

How is everybody else coping/ not coping with the shortage of ADHD medications? This is the first month I’ve encountered where nobody can source Concerta XL or Medikinet and I’m at a loss 😭😭

[Emma Bainbridge @EmmaNBainbridge]

Fantastic day and incredible speakers at COP #prehospmatneo. So proud to work alongside such passionate, informed clinicians.

P.S I am taking up permanent residence in Birmingham on the basis that I don’t want to have to face the rush hour traffic again. Guess I live here now.
