Gorilla charm offensive. Obviously sizing up whether now is the time to reveal that they speak English.

Gorillas posing for a selfie with anti-poaching rangers is what you need today. https://t.co/8uGmEdLPaz

£5bn of *further* cuts to public spending would be devastating.

Labour has to be clear: they will not implement these cuts. Either break/change the "fiscal rule", or raise taxes on the richest. Or both.

This is a bare minimum. Hard to justify Labour vote without it.

When people look back at history and say how did they allow XYZ to happen.

This is how... it's a slippery slope into authoritarianism

Curbing protests, who elected officials can speak to and who the police arrests.

This should worry us all.

@FisherAndrew79 How did the foreign secretary vote?

[K C 🦋 @kc1928]

@FisherAndrew79 I'd go a lot further than 'nonsense' tbh.

#NoMoreBenefitDeaths

Thank you to all disabled people & allies who participated

Everyone is safe & on way home

@LeftieStats @IpsosUK That would place Tories in joint sixth place (no of seats) once NIR parties are included!

[K C 🦋 @kc1928]

@AaronBastani The combined LAB/CON vote was 82.4% in 2017 & 75.7% in 2019.
If it's down again to 67%, the UK starts to look like other European countries where the trad 'big two' have had their day.

*were Labour to get anywhere close to this result, 'Tory enabler' doesn't work at the next GE.

The government is seeking new powers for mass surveillance of the bank accounts of millions of benefit claimants to “scan for fraud.” Congrats to every politician and pundit who peddled the scrounger myth. This is where you took us. https://t.co/QxyJbnd6nq

Horrific reports confirmed that, over the last few days only, at least 10 children died of malnutrition in #Gaza

These deaths are man-made, predictable and entirely preventable.

#Gaza has become hell on earth. When will the world say "enough"?

#OnThisDay 1984. Labour MP Tony Benn is returned to parliament after winning the Chesterfield by-election.

[K C 🦋 @kc1928]

@LeftieStats Worth also noting that he became the first ever Labour MP for Glasgow Hillhead (formed 1918) winning 43% of the vote in 1987.

@Otto_English No evidence of Hannan having produced any column that isn't in that category.

[Andrew Fisher @FisherAndrew79]

#BBCLauraK platforms the inane burblings of Lord Walney (a Tory-appointed peer) saying Labour MPs and cllrs should cut all ties with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

They're trying to ban solidarity with a people being massacred, ethnically-cleansed and starved. Perverse!
