The selections for Labour candidates needs to be more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local Party members should select their candidates for every election.

Is this our first proper defection?? Keep them coming.

Hooooo boy, there is a LOT of money to be made in Kent right now from wrongful arrest litigation. Tempting to go down there to fund a new tattoo or something.

🚨 BREAKING | Kent Police declares that pro-Palestine flags and placards are illegal under the Terrorism Act.

After activists were questioned for holding pro-Palestine signs, Kent Police claimed that it is a "criminal offence" to carry such "items".

Here's the terrifying part: When researchers forced ChatGPT users to write without AI, they performed worse than people who never used AI at all.

It's not just dependency. It's cognitive atrophy.

Like a muscle that's forgotten how to work.

Psyched for this eco-populist leadership bid

Last year, the @ProgIntl united 100s of MPs from over 70 countries behind a successful demand: "Take Cuba off the list."

Today, we celebrate this victory for the Cuban people. But tomorrow, we continue the fight to break the US blockade once and for all. https://t.co/hakkriSw4E

@desso61 @DanNeidle @sbarlster I've been meaning to learn more about the role of the BoE in the Truss saga. Do you have a source for this admission?

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Despite being on the brink of collapse, Thames Water recently paid out £158,000,000 in dividends and its CEO gave himself a £195,000 bonus.

Now our bills will go up by 22% in five years.

The public shouldn't be paying for the failures of privatised water. Stop the bill hike.

[Take Back Water. @takebackwater]

We’re giving Keir Starmer #100Days to commit to public ownership of water.

If the new government doesn't bring water into public hands, we'll take down this failing industry and take back our water.

The countdown to the first strike wave starts today 👉 https://t.co/am3NbbqJXR
