Brilliant news. Family homes have become a war zone as parents battle tech companies to protect their kids. Sigh of relief for parents as Keir Starmer backs them up! https://t.co/9NmNTjzkFt

A giant of the Labour Party, Roy was a progressive, a libertarian & egalitarian. An intellectual steeped in an understanding of Labour history, he stuck with the party when the SDP was formed & fought the takeover by militant. A democratic socialist who was helpful and kind to me RIP

Very happy about this. @jessphillips is coming back to Electoral Dysfunction alongside @HarrietHarman and @RuthDavidsonPC and me, as we expand the pod to two weekly episodes and lots more! 💃💃💃💃

@SkyNews @BethRigby @haynesdeborah Looking forward to #ElectoralDysfunction in the morning. Poor @HarrietHarman is going to need a stiff drink and a good dose of humour off @RuthDavidsonPC .

Tackling class based inequality is very first clause Equality Act. 2010 Tory govt implemented most of the Act. But not s1 Equality Act. “Socio-economic duty” should be implemented now. Rightly alongside duty to tackle discrimination on grounds of race, sex etc @BBCNews

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

So sorry to hear this. Marion Kozak was a fantastic woman who I first met in the 1980s when she played a big role in making the case for childcare. A woman ahead of her time. A feminist pioneer of her generation. RIP. Deepest sympathies to all the family

Show of hands called by @BethRigby at Hay Festival should Starmer stay or go. Same % as Leeds. @SkyNews

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

My piece on a very interesting show of hands at a conference in Leeds last week …. Should Starmer stay or go? It was 85-15 stay!

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

Our #ElectoralDysfunction pod is one of my favourite things to do & soon we’ll be doing more with a new subscription episode + extras. Spoke to @adamsherwin10 @theipaper about the growing influence of podcasts & why I’m getting more access to politicians who’d typically run away

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

On ED this week

Makerfield by-election& Labour’s leadership woes

MAFs & who is regulating reality TV

Being told you’re a piece of s**t while doing your job. Rachel Reeves handled it well, but why should anyone put up with it & why didn’t politicians of all parties call it out?

[Sky News @SkyNews]

In this week’s episode of Electoral Dysfunction, @BethRigby, @HarrietHarman and @RuthDavidsonPC discuss Rachel Reeves being heckled by a man in a white van who swore at her.

Joyous indeed thank you @NazShahBfd for reminding us of the brilliance of our Parliament on a good day and hope and you.

These are devastating results for Labour, far beyond the usual mid-term blues.

We need to listen to the voters, and learn the right lessons.

That’s what we’ll be looking to do at @thefabians in the coming months.

[Ruth Davidson @RuthDavidsonPC]

No #ElectoralDysfunction this morning?

That's because we're recording later today once more of the results are in.

It's a proper election special and @BethRigby @HarrietHarman and I can't wait to get stuck in - so many threads to discuss.

Follow us wherever you get your pods

[Harriet Harman @HarrietHarman]

Lovely to be out Rye Lane ward with the great @UKLabour team @Jasmine_Ali

[Joe Dromey @Joe_Dromey]

📢New @thefabians research!📢

The government has big ambitions to build 1.5m new homes and renew our infrastructure in order to boost growth and deliver clean energy.

If we are to deliver on these commitments, we need to fix the construction skills crisis.

[Harriet Harman @HarrietHarman]

Good!

EXC
Electoral Commission chief warns they'll step in over AI deepfakes
** Says tricky decisions ahead to avoid blocking satire and harming free speech
** Refuses to name social media companies who may not take down fakes
** Says he'll give "best shot" at getting parties to agree to no AI deepfakes

[Ruth Davidson @RuthDavidsonPC]

In this week's Easter Special Q & A #ElectoralDysfunction I get into a proper ding dong with @HarrietHarman about feminism in politics. @BethRigby tries to referee.....
