Positive approach to arts and culture from @UKLabour

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Our Plan for Change will ensure that arts and cultural institutions truly are for everyone, everywhere.

@PippaCrerar So on one hand @RachelReevesMP will bow to the concerns and needs of non-doms but not listen to the concerns of pensioners over the winter fuel allowance. Shocking that this is the election promise out of all other promises that a Labour government is prepared to break

@GabSutton Sonny’s on High St West, great brunch, croissants, sandwiches and coffee. Staff are lovely

@JTullock @HelenJenkins117 This would be funny if it wasn’t so patronising and inaccurate. Had to be satirical surely?

As a Labour Party member I am appalled that we have accepted Natalie Elphicke as an MP. Obvs jumping ship to save her seat but she shouldn’t be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate

[John Harris @johnharris1969]

Natalie Elphicke is just a sign of deep, deep Tory rot. On a completely cynical level, it's obvious why the Labour leadership like it. But it's the stuff of shapeless, opportunistic grimness. They could have just told her where to get off

@Isabelchurcher @AvantiWestCoast I feel your pain!

At a time when our public realm, infrastructure and services desperately need investment Sunak’s answer is to cut taxes. How much worse do they want this country to get? #privateaffluancepublicsqualor

[Sam Coates Sky @SamCoatesSky]

NEW: At a speech in North London, Rishi Sunak now sets out 5 "long term" promises for the future

3. Securing energy
4. Backing british business and
5. World class education

An Eton education and yet no science after age 15. Should have gone to a state school!

Diary entries from Boris Johnson's Chief Scientific Adviser Patrick Vallance reveals his frustration at the PM's inability to grasp basic scientific concepts.

Facts had to be repeatedly explained to him and he'd then forget them again within hours and need them explaining again.

Sums up 13 lost years under the Tories.

We asked 2,000 people to give us one word to describe the Conservative Party.

@roskerslake So sorry to hear this and my condolences to you and Bob’s family.

@MaireadO Great news and Bucks Council are very lucky to have you

[Fiona Talbott @fitalbott]

Conflicted on this one, happy not to hear another word in parliament from the corrupt buffoon but on the other hand he really should do the f**king job he’s paid for

Typical of a minister who’s PM skived off 5 COBRA meetings at height of pandemic

[Fiona Talbott @fitalbott]

Particularly like the point about gender pay gap. No more performative feminism please.
