New Reform candidate Matt Goodwin has claimed that being born and raised in England doesn't make you English.

These Luton workers proudly disagree.

I remember when I first read ‘verbal hygiene as part of my MA English language studies in the mid 1980s. Such a seminal, and important, text.

[No Men in Women's Prisons @NoMinWPrisons]

222 days since the Supreme Court ruled sex in the Equality Act has always referred to biological sex.

So why are men still being held in women's prisons?

Thank you for standing with us 🙏

Allan Ahlberg’s books were on my must have list as a teacher - every single class I taught, regardless of their age, were read The Jolly Postman and Please Mrs Butler. What an extraordinary talent he had.

Sarah Jones: I also agree with the former Chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, who said yesterday:

" Conservatives, like myself, should be honest, Reeves is clearing up our mess."

This is sickening and shocking. We need to stand for the freedom of girls and women,

[Jahanzib Wesa @jahanzibwesa]

Forcing girls—especially minors—into marriage is crime!

Yet in some countries, such atrocities occur daily, where girls are subjected to physical & mental torture by families & coerced into marriages against their will.

We need to stand for freedom of women.

The level of ignorance among media / political commentators about the early release of prisoners is grossly irresponsible. Every prisoner is released on license under the supervision of the probation service & subject to recall if suspected of further offending. The Govt had no option given the crisis in the prison service. And for the record those of us who work in the criminal justice system have warned about the crisis for years.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

Economic security.

Home-ownership.

Feeling better off.

Change.

That’s the promise of a Labour government.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Labour will stand up for renters and build 1.5 million new homes to tackle the housing crisis.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Rishi Sunak lied to you.

[Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧 @montie]

It's over for the Tories. Absolutely over. We didn't do what we said we'd do and did the things we said we wouldn't. The longer Sunak delays the election date the angrier the electorate are going to get.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

Govt must do more on the humanitarian catastrophe as we work with partners towards a long-term settlement.

This means further cessation of hostilities, urgent prevention of disease & assurances that displaced people can access aid.

More lives will be lost if we do not act now.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

A bill to ban no fault evictions that doesn’t ban no fault evictions.

A bill to end leasehold that doesn’t end leasehold.

The topsy turvy Tories are down the rabbit hole - and through the looking glass.

UK spends more financing inequality in favour of rich than rest of Europe, report finds

If you think the Tories have robbed your family blind....you're right....they have.

Equality Trust report this week proves it, inc

🔹Richest 1% in the UK are paying the lowest taxes of such a group in any large European country
🔹 Britain in the 1970s was one of the most equal of rich countries. Today, it is the second most UNEQUAL, after the US.
🔹 UK spends more than anywhere else in Europe subsidising the cost of structural inequality in favour of the rich
🔹Inequality has made UK more unhealthy, unhappy and unsafe than our more equal peers
🔹UK has shorter healthy working lives, poorer education systems, more crime and less happy societieies
🔹UK society structured to allow massive profiteering for the richest at the expense of everyone else
🔹Massive regional disparities and leaving the UK vulnerable to shocks and recessions.
🔹90% of all national assets and infrastructure are now privately owned making Britain one of the most heavily privately and narrowly owned economies among rich countries.

And it has accelerated since 2010

This is serious.

Think of all the benefits you've had in your workplace. Basic rights not to be sacked on the whim of an owner or boss. Rights to claim for bullying or worse.

All of this because of others who fought for them.

Now the govt is planning to strip many rights away 😡

There is nothing they won't do to destroy what's good in this country.

NEW: @YvetteCooperMP says Braverman “out of control” & PM either given her “tacit permission or too weak to sack her” Says PM has given up governing

Another senior Lab source: “The PM’s weakness when it comes to standing up to Suella is the most shocking thing in all this”

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

The Tories are furious about the state of Britain today.

Just wait until they find out who's been in power for the last 13 years.

[St.George's Southwark Labour Party @LabourStGeorges]

Bang to rights……

[Gillian Keegan @GillianKeegan]

We know that mobile phones are a source of distraction and bullying in the classroom

Yet, 40% of 14-year-olds report that their lessons were disrupted by phones

So today, we’re banning phones in schools

The @Conservatives are taking long-term decisions for a brighter future

[Sangita Myska @SangitaMyska]

There is no hurricane of immigrants, as Home Secretary Suella Braverman claims.

There is a hurricane of lies emanating from the Conservative Party conference aimed at scaring voters:
Meat Tax
British culture “diluted”
Labour councils controlling shoppers
Blanket 20mph limits
