“Why can’t the 93% of children in our state schools receive the same musical offering that the 7% in private schools take for granted?”

Lord Bragg quoted @Howard_Goodall in criticising unequal access to arts education.

Make no mistake: the Tories’ introduction of voter ID is designed to rig the next election by stopping younger and historically marginalised people from voting. Do not let them.

5 years ago Milton Keynes was dubbed ‘tent city’ by the media. Today, no one needs to sleep rough on our streets. How did we do it? A thread by the Cabinet Member responsible 👇

International law on this question is very straightforward and very unequivocal.

Three things you could do today:

1. Become a #SuicidePreventionChampion on #WSPD2023 #WSPD23

2. Do the @Zer0Suicide FREE on line training, it takes 20 minutes and helps you have the skills to See, Say, Signpost

3. Check in on a mate

You might just save a life.

Penny Mordaunt also says “striking workers don’t benefit from strikes”

Without our trade unions & the workers willing to back them with strike action when needed we wouldn’t have a minimum wage, maternity & paternity rights, pension provision, holiday & sickness entitlements - victories which have benefited every single person in this country

Imagine the shock for GB News & the Daily Mail when they find out we had a returns agreement with the EU before Brexit & the huge rise in dangerous small boat crossings is in large part a direct consequence of the Brexit deal championed by the Prime Minister himself!

It’s loud. It's joyful. It's unapologetic.

The @metpoliceuk is so far from fit for purpose it’s terrifying.

The heavy-handed and totally disproportionate treatment this woman received (in front of her distressed and bewildered young son) was for suspected bus fare evasion, to the tune of £1.75
