Just 12% of Britons approve of the government's record to date, the lowest level recorded by YouGov since Labour took office
Approve: 12% (-1 from 5-7 July)
Disapprove: 66% (-1)
Net: -54 (=)
@BBCPolitics 42% of the UK voted for a 3rd party and 40% didn't even vote. How is your coverage constantly a Labour mouthpiece and a Tory who ran the country into the ground arguing about who's fault it is today?
Watching @jamesmurray_ldn answer direct questions about raising taxes on @BBCPolitics with the neverending Labour excuse 'the Tories left us a black hole' is exactly the reason I couldn't vote for this party. The Labour Party are like a bunch of seagulls keowing the same call.
Israeli has set fire to Taybeh — a 10,000-year-old village in Ramallah, Palestine.
A place where Jesus once walked.
Home to the world’s oldest living Christian community.
And not a peep from Western mainstream media.
If our government can't admit the horrors of the British Empire all these years later do we really expect any different in their attitude towards Palestine?
Being British has a sour taste in the mouth these days.

🚨BREAKING: MPs have just voted for cuts to social security - with unwritten promises from the UK Government
This is reckless.
Disability rights aren’t optional. Poverty is a political choice. This Govt chose it tonight.
We'll keep fighting until this cruel Bill is rejected completely.
I wasn’t selected to speak in today’s debate, but let me be clear:
I voted to protect universal winter fuel payments and scrap the two-child benefit cap.
No-one voted for Austerity 2.0.
I will be voting against these cuts to PIP — and I’d do it a hundred times over.
“Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered. But never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice, into a trap, and murdered them for sport.”

You have remained silent, or worse, at the maiming and murdering of hundreds of thousands of children, women, doctors, teachers, journalists, old people. But you're up in arms about Glastonbury ? Fuck off you stinking putrefied hypocrites.
