I think the most compelling @RestIsPolitics Leading interviews @campbellclaret + I have done is with Deputy PM @AngelaRayner - particularly from 8:35 - she is so frank, self-reflective, and brutally insightful about life + its lessons - an extraordinary person https://t.co/xmy4yoDJ5a
A former government chief scientific adviser as science minister. A businessman with years of experience in rehabilitation as prisons minister. A barrister with years of experience as attorney general. A focus on specialism, domain knowledge and expertise.

The Labour Party has never said that we can't win in the new Farnham & Bordon seat. I've called you out on this multiple times Khalil but you keep repeating this falsehood. That's really disappointing.
As a serious national political party with ambitions of having a majority at Westminster, Labour campaign across England, Scotland and Wales. This means our national resources are prioritised in certain areas because we want to get into power and some seats help us achieve that goal more than others.
Being a 'Non Battleground' seat doesn't mean we don't want to win - the scale and energy of our campaign alone should show that!
Plus when MRP polls are not definitive we will absolutely fight for every vote because I also don't want our communities to be represented by a Conservative.
To describe our grassroots campaign in Farnham, Bordon, Haslemere, Liphook and our villages as being driven by 'vanity' is yet more negative Lib Dem language which I think our community could do without.
A vote for Labour tomorrow is a vote for change and a chance to turn the page on 14 years of damage to our public services - 5 of which were facilitated by the Lib Dem's backing austerity policies alongside the Tories.
If elected, I promise to be a strong local voice with national influence who can get things done!

I first met Angela almost 20 years ago when she was a care worker and I was a Health Minister in the last Labour Government.
She didn’t hold back then - and I’ve no doubt she will bring the voice of working people to the heart of the next Labour Government.
Never change, Ange!
New: First mega-poll of the campaign suggests the Conservative Party is on course for its worst result in history.

The idea that the Suffragettes were hard left would have been a surprise to future Conservative candidate Emmeline Pankhurst, and indeed future members of the British Union of Fascists Norah Elam and Sophia Mary Allen.
No. Private education exists to give the children of the affluent further social advantage and connection. It is the sole reason parents pay obscene sums for it. It is a fact so screamingly obvious that no amount of tapdancing will obscure it.
If you're still, in this day and age, with all we now know about how common rape and sexual assault are and how people react to surviving it, saying stuff like "why didn't she go to the police? Bet she's lying," that's not just ignorance, it's a dangerous and very telling choice.
We've only just realised that Saturday's performance of The Bairns @Sage_Gateshead will be exactly 15 years to the date since our night at the Mercury's! What a perfectly marketed celebration, only we didn't spot it until now!! 9th Sept 2008 / 2023.

It's almost beyond human comprehension how badly the Spanish football federation is handling this. Just the most despicable spectacle. https://t.co/pV9JNXgnpn
Keeping desperate people on prison ships and deporting them to a country 7000km away with a dreadful human rights record, in defiance of international conventions on refugees, is not wrong because it is expensive. It is wrong because it is wrong.
