Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.
Incredible anecdote by @danielboffey in the Guardian
A Labour MP tells a story about meeting a voter who said he wasn’t voting for him because Labour was taxing condoms
🚨 URGENT 🚨
🎶We’ve got 21 days before they’ve got to go🎶😎
Vote for @UKLabour. Vote for me as your MP for Brent East on Thursday 4th July. #Dawn4BrentEast
I've just watched The Assembly (BBC iPlayer), in which Michael Sheen is quizzed by 35 neurodivergent young people.
It's a mesmerising, joyous, beautiful piece of television, filled with incredible people and life-affirming interaction.
Thoroughly recommended!
https://t.co/aNEjoKXudK - am hoping for local chap Tim, to have a happier New Year. The people of Clevedon are rallying round to help this 64 year old man, living in a tent. Serious lack of resources around to help him and people like him. Can you help? 🥺

@garethkthomas Powerful thread - Argree 100% - how many “David’s” and similar, are out there? How many have been or are being, failed by outdated educational and social/health structures not fit for purpose? It’s terrifying.
@LouMycroft I had a message from a genuine widower who had lost his wife, not by murder, but to breast cancer and he had 2 young boys - he was just lonely. Fast forward, we have been together for 18 years - and very happy. Some might be genuine (I appreciate many are not!). Not all weirdos!
Do you know what’s also damaging to children?
Ridiculous amounts of supply
Masses of teachers leaving
Lack of funding for SEND & special schools
Overstretched mental health services
Unqualified staff teaching GCSE
Huge Ofsted pressure
Cost of living
But yep those 6 strike days 🙄
@SarahGi78263526 You'll be able to have lovely weekends in Edinburgh (just to check in on her obviously!) - what a lovely city to be in, and hear very good things about that uni.. :-)
