Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.
Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.
That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.
The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.
And honestly, the Belfast incident should be declared a national emergency. We’ve seen acts of domestic terrorism, people have been displaced and homes destroyed. We need to address and acknowledge the severity of what is happening or we normalise it.
You voted against scrapping zero hour contracts.
You voted against banning fire and rehire.
You voted against day one sick pay for workers.
You said the minimum wage was too high for young people.
Reform politicians openly say they don't like trade unions.
You will always put the interests of your offshore crypto billionaire donors ahead of workers.
This is Rebecca Goodwin
She was raped. She reported it. She even handed in a 7 minute recording of her sexual assault. Police said it was insufficient evidence.
Fearing he would target others, she exposed the man publicly. Out of fear, he handed himself in and was remanded.
But on appeal, he was released. He is now bailed until a court date in 2027.
Rebecca has been failed. Women across this country are failed daily. We ask why women don’t report? This is why.
Violence against women is a pandemic, nationally and locally. #EndDomesticAbuse
Hey @BBCNews , got a story for you!
About 11 reform new councillors have stepped down or been expelled already!
It will cost a lot to elect new ones. How about running that as a story, just for a smidgen of impartiality?
Hi @SuellaBraverman ,
48 hours ago I asked you to substantiate or withdraw your claim that “250,000 foreign students took £4bn in UK loans.” That time has now passed. You have provided no evidence, no clarification, and no correction.
I have taken the time to examine the data myself.
I have reviewed materials from the Student Loans Company, the Department for Education, the House of Commons Library, the UK Statistics Authority, and reporting from Times Higher Education. Across these sources, one thing is clear. Your statement is presented in a way that gives the public a deeply misleading impression.
Let’s deal with this carefully.
The £4bn figure you reference relates to the total value of student loans issued to non UK nationals. It is not a direct cost to the taxpayer. These are loans. They are repaid over time based on income. Presenting that figure as if it were money handed out or lost is not an accurate reflection of how the system works.
Then there is your use of the phrase “foreign students.”
This is where the distortion becomes more serious.
The fact (which you know quite well) is those eligible for UK student finance are not newly arrived international students. They are people with settled status, indefinite leave to remain, refugee status, or long term lawful residence in the UK. They live here. They work here. They pay into the system. And under the law, they are entitled to access student finance.
Standard international students on student visas are generally not eligible for these loans.
By leaving out that distinction, you create a very different picture in the minds of the public. One where large numbers of people are arriving from abroad and immediately accessing public funds. That is not what the data shows.
You also cited a figure of 250,000 without pointing to a clearly published dataset or transparent methodology. Numbers like this carry weight. They should be used with care, not as loose estimates in politically charged statements.
I am not interested in party politics. But I am concerned about what this kind of messaging is doing to the country.
When lending is presented as spending, and long term residents are presented as outsiders, it fuels resentment. It deepens division. It creates tension where clarity is needed. And ordinary people end up carrying the consequences of that confusion. Like I was being racially attacked and profiled in my initial response to you in X by supporters of your party who were obviously misled and triggered by your misinformation.
I did consider legal action. But the reality is that the law is not designed to deal easily with this kind of broad public misrepresentation. You know that, which is why ignoring a challenge like mine carries little immediate consequence.
That does not make it acceptable.
I will be submitting a formal complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards regarding your use of misleading statistical claims in public communication.
The public deserves accuracy. Not selective framing. Not distortion. And certainly not narratives that risk turning people against each other on the basis of incomplete facts.

Where was the cobra meeting when this terrorist attack happened on the streets of London 👇🏾 6 days ago.
Ambulances got more media coverage.
This country is an occupied state!!!
You executed an elderly Christian woman in Gaza, who was simply trying to find a restroom, and then sniped her daughter in the head for tending to her corpse. This is who you are, these are your values, not an aberration.
We now have IDF child killers as Labour Party councillors
Can you imagine the UPROAR if a Muslim woman joined a foreign army to kill children & then entered UK politics?
Can you fucking imagine?
But because it’s Israel it’s ok
This STINKS.
