@lmharpin Have you actually read the motion, why not share it so people can make their own minds up ? At the moment people seemed to raging against headlines rather than facts.

@0Calamity My local looked into this and concluded that legally the council could not insist all councillors were DBS. The only thing they could recommend was that each political party got DBS checks for candidates before elections.

"I remember.. the night we rejected every possible arrangement with the EU"

Yep. The vote to include a Customs Union was defeated 276-273. 5 LibDems & 11 TIGs voted against. They could have voted for & made the Tories implode but they didnt want to do anything that helped Corbyn

@100glitterstars And Starmer threw that majority away in a few months.

@t0mbstoneblues Well from her performance yesterday, I don't think she has heard of Bob Dylan

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

This is a fair question. Musicians have always steered clear of politics.

Oh, except Woody Guthrie, Gil Scott-Heron, Dylan, Marley, Lennon, The Clash, Nina Simone, Public Enemy, The Specials, The Manics, Tracy Chapman, Fela Kuti, Curtis Mayfield, NWA, The Jam, Billy Bragg...

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@glaisian Its weird the BBC are trying to rewrite history by erasing any reference to the long heritage of protest songs from Woodie Guthrie and Billie Holiday, to Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Neil Young, Ewan Mcoll, Peggy Seger, The Specials, The Jam, Billy Bragg etc etc

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@0Calamity Its odd the BBC R4 Today programme had a whole debate like musicians expressing political opinions was a new strange thing ins society with no reference to the history of protest songs from Billie Holiday and Woodie Guthrie to Sam Fender and everyone in between.

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@Thelma_DWalker I know I find this line the BBC are taking very odd. On R4 Today programme the other day they had a debate about musicians expressing political opinions was a new strange thing in society with no reference of the history of protest songs.

@wendlingere49 He had no principles or morals and was a terrible communicator who wanted to be PM as a career move not to I prove society

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@FranchesHarper The problem was Statmer did not have a Labour bone in his body

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@kazrg9z @Keir_Starmer Not clever, no morals and no personality. That's why he is no longer Pm

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@emmacpicken @EHRC @UKLabour No report said that, if you want to make a point it would have more credibility if you used facts not misinformation

[Pamela Fitzpatrick @pamelafitz4HW]

If our politicians had spent the last 30 years explaining that those fleeing persecution are not ‘illegal’ and had not deliberately caused the housing and poverty crisis we would not have black shirted thugs on our streets. Nor would we have Reform, restore or Tommy Robinson.

@HeatherJeeves Haigh is smarter than them free put together. Look how she got revenge on Starmer for how badly he treated her.

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@Anniepop2027 @UKLabour @LBC @SkyNews I think it's revenge of a northern woman who Starmer threw under the bus and lied about. Haigh is obviously smarter than Starmer.

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@GaylardJennifer Starmer has as much integrity as Boris Johnson which is why he had to go.

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@KernowQ Bending the facts there, more people voted for Corbyns Labour than voted for Starmers Labour.

[Russell Tennant @RussellTennant8]

@Anniepop2027 @LBC @UKLabour You are funny
