Although of course in large parts of the country- where most of the working class was concentrated- it never did look like this. More polio, rickets, slum housing, dangerous working conditions, misogyny, homophobia, lack of social mobility, short life expectancy…

[Sam @SamCKx]

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

THE ‘LIFE-CHANGING’ GARDEN IN THE HEART OF FALLOWFIELD

Walk through the pretty arch of foliage at Platt Fields Market Garden and you’ll find that you’re suddenly and quite immediately at peace.

A hub not just for the local community, but far, far further afield, it’s a special place indeed, where people can meet, eat, connect, find a family beyond the one they were born with or in some cases the one they had to leave behind.

We spent an afternoon among the beds and polytunnels with Mike Hodson, founder of Manchester Urban Diggers, and the team at Platt Fields Market Gard vgen, to learn all about what they do in this small but important disused bowling green in Fallowfield.

It’s a place that fills the soul. Go there and find out why.

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.

Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison

Huge coverage of both

Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.

Media coverage? You judge.

While arguing that Next can't afford to pay 16-24 year olds the minimum wage, CEO Lord Wolfson forgot to say that for the fiscal year ending January 2026, Next reported an operating profit of £1.236 billion, marking a 13.4% increase from the previous year. #r4today

We asked 100 people, "How many times can a lying, grifting cvnt, change his story over a £5M bung?"

You said, "Small boats."

.@NewcastleCC This is Ilford Road, High West Jesmond. You wouldn’t listen about cutting off #wildlife corridors & this is the result. Shame on you.

[Alethea Bernard @Tush27J]

This is Nigel Farage at a Reform Party Conf mocking Keir Starmer over the freebie glasses Starmer received.
It is now revealed Farage received an undeclared £5 million gift from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne.
Farage is a HYPOCRITE.

🚨The UK government is quietly dismantled NHS price controls to please Trump and Big Pharma.

Snuck out at 5pm before Easter weekend, with no parliamentary vote & no debate.

They're embarrassed. They should be. ⬇️

[Jack Dart @JackWDart]

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night.

Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

A billionaire worth £17,000,000,000 who moved to Monaco to dodge £4,000,000,000 in tax is now blaming immigrants for Britain’s problems.

If parasitic billionaires like Jim Ratcliffe paid what they owe — and politicians weren’t in their pockets — our NHS, schools and public services wouldn’t be on their knees.

It is textbook divide and rule. The real enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

[OldishBird @oldishbird1]

I think we’ve now reached the point where the media want our politics to be an episode of Game of Thrones or The Traitors with a bit of House of Cards thrown in. Government is not there to provide drama and entertainment and journalists are supposed to report the news not make it

It’s horribly fascinating to watch Reform UK transparently absorbing expired tories like a jellyfish digesting used condoms.

[Claire 💙 @clairebubblepop]

I’m sick of explaining how people can end up on benefits. I’ll say it again. I had a partner, we had a beautiful family, we could afford our lives. But my partner got sick and died. I was on my own with four kids, 3yr, 5yr, 6yr and 15yrs old. I couldn’t afford childcare, I didn’t have family to help, we were grieving. That’s how we ended up on benefits. Life can be cruel and good for you if you haven’t been through some shit but a lot of us have. All we want is a helping hand, not a punching down. So fuck you to all who judge and don’t know what TF you’re talking about. You’re only ever one tragedy from needing help. I only hope it never happens to you.
