If standing up for state schools makes me a spiteful class warrior, I’ll wear it with pride.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.
It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.
I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.
My thoughts are with the victims of the abhorrent attack in Golders Green this morning, and the Jewish community. I'm grateful for the work of the community and the police in apprehending the suspect, and to the emergency services for their quick response. The suspect is now in custody and I’m being kept updated on the situation.
Why did the BBC and ITV ban this video of hideous quotes by Farage and Reform figures, yet they give the people who said them disproportionate airtime?
This is not normal.
Congratulations @MagyarPeterMP on your election victory.
This is an historic moment, not only for Hungary, but for European democracy.
I look forward to working with you for the security and prosperity of both our countries.
So ‘Restore Britain’ far right clowns want to scrap public sector translation services.
That policy is dangerous NONSENSE. Here are 5 examples why:
1️⃣ Our military would be unable to translate NATO intelligence when it isn’t in English.
2️⃣ A&E doctors would be guessing a tourist’s allergies eg if they were going into anaphylactic shock.
3️⃣ Criminals could walk free because key witnesses, such as visitors who see a major crime, couldn’t have their statements translated.
4️⃣ Intelligence services would be unable to carry out foreign language work.
5️⃣ Border Force would be severely weakened by an inability to conduct in-depth foreign language interviews.
Impractical, dangerous discrimination.
Pride in place funding. Warm homes discount. Large NMW increases. Workers rights bill - parental leave, paternity leave, bereavement leave, right to flexible working, day 1 statutory sick pay, breakfast clubs, childcare expansion, renters reforms, planning reforms,

The latest YouGov poll shows most people in Britain oppose Trump’s strikes on Iran.
Yet the Tories and Reform are so desperate to cosy up to him they’ll back illegal military action without blinking.
Starmer is right to stand up for the rule of law.
The US-UK Special relationship is the closest of any two countries because it is built upon our shared military, defence and security partnership.
Starmer's weakness over Iran has damaged our reputation as we rely upon allies to protect British nationals and our military personnel.
Starmer is not a leader. He has shown the world his inadequacies as he damages Britain’s standing in the world and the relationship with our greatest ally.
