In years to come we'll look at this era and wonder why in light of a global pandemic, economic inflation, growing inequality and technological upheaval we decided to make the private lives of a minority considerably worse.
Nothing shows your Labour Party values more than *checks notes* resigning exclusively in The Times three months after using a Labour ticket to get elected.
Nobody used Lucy Letby’s race or religion when she murdered babies and got jailed -ask yourself why no Greggs bakers were robbed when she was sentenced to prison? Why were no hotels burned down? Why were no riots screaming and looting through John Lewis to protect our kids? 🇬🇧
Watching the far right set fire to the newly reopened Spellow Hub library in Liverpool should be lesson enough on how much these thugs really care about “communities” and “young children.” Let none of these thugs pretend they are motivated by anything other than racism and hate.
Using transphobic rhetoric to attack a woman is not trans.
This shit is wild. The “incredibly uncomfortable” thing is the fact that elected MPs are harassing an athlete to fulfil a hateful agenda. Thought you were better than this @lisanandy
🚨 NEW: Asked about Imane Khelif's victory in the Olympic boxing match, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said it made her "incredibly uncomfortable".
Labour will be providing guidance for sporting bodies on how to handle "complex biological matters".
It’s a not a hill to die on but I hate “Starmer will be another PM who’s gone to Oxford” takes. Doing your MA at Oxford - and your degree at Leeds - as first gen student from a working class family is not the same as a posh kid waltzing in to do PPE. Wild to pretend otherwise.
I simply could not resist jumping in with both feet and going on a Lewisham field trip to Kent.
I’m disabled and have had enough of being shat on by the Tories. Let’s do this! 💪🏼🌹 #ToriesOut
Great to be out in the blinding sun with Will, Hannah, Steve & Jack in Rainham.
People taking posters and saying they will be voting @naushabah_khan#Change
I love our city. Our vibrancy, our diversity, our strength of spirit. If I'm re-elected on Thursday we can carry on building a fairer, safer, greener London for everyone.
In contrast - here's what the Tory candidate Susan Hall thinks of Londoners:
Help am I watching Oliver Twist or #DragonsDen coz there’s a man on the telly talking about rationing tenant’s heating so that he can make more money and assume the form of a leach
Dear @jk_rowling
You are not a gay person. You do not represent gay people. You do not speak for gay people. You certainly do NOT get to hide behind gay people to justify your transphobia.
Please kindly back off and stop trying to weaponise us against trans people.
Regards
Sam
