If you want the #caresystem and the #NHS to work in this country get the private companies out. They are taking money out of the system. It should all be in-house. #BBCbreakfast #BBCnews

This speech has been circulating in MAGA circles, and they’re absolutely horrified by it.

Just had someone who doesn’t even drink come to the pub for a Diet Coke and a chat to support the business. Had a lot of people just drop in and it’s so nice man. Thanks you lot. Truly restored my faith in humanity

#Mandelson must be advising #WesStreeting and told him to stand #peopleintheShadows #labourparty #bbcpolitics #bbcnews #bbcqt

[Chris Ham @krishammy]

Wes Streeting as a potential leader, if you think that, then just give the keys to Reform. He is just the same as Starmer and has the same backing. People voted against Starmer because they want a #Labourparty that gives them a voice and makes their lives feel better. #bbcnews

It must be OK for national newspapers to depict the Jewish leader of the #Greenparty, and nothing is said by #LabourParty or the others. Probably just looked on as a bit of old-fashioned antisemit banter. #bbcnews ##bbcnewsnight

The sale of illegal drugs from high street shops does not need the change of laws , it needs law enforcement funding. They are doing this because they know police are overstretched and can not be everywhere. ##bbcbreakfast

A year ago, I was moved to tears when govt agreed to consult on Council Tax debt collection. I’m reposting that video as today IT'S DONE. On the back of @mmhpi campaigning the govt said this morning it WILL change the rules

- Currently miss a monthly payment & within 3 weeks, you can be told "pay the whole year". From Apr 27, Councils must wait 63 days to do that & signpost people to help meantime
- The max added admin cost is also being capped at £100

Here’s my official quote on it….

“Council Tax debt collection is so aggressive it’d make banks blush. It’s the most vicious and damaging form of legal debt collection out there - causing counterproductive misery for millions. We’ve spent the last 18 months campaigning hard to change this hideous system, and having seen so much pain caused by it, I’m genuinely moved by this huge first step towards making things better.”

“Currently, in England, if you miss a monthly payment, many councils, within usually 3 weeks, demand payment for the entire year. How people who can’t find a month’s money are expected to find a year’s I don’t know. Yet if they can’t pay, within just three more weeks, they are often taken to court, have ‘admin costs’ added, and soon see bailiffs sent in. No commercial firm would be allowed to do anything close - constituents are treated worse than customers.”

The new rule from next April means councils must wait two months, not 3 weeks, to ask for a year’s money, and the ‘admin costs’ will be capped at £100. In a perfect world, it would be even longer and the lower cap would apply, but this is still a hugely welcome change to a 33-year-old process. For councils too, it is worth remembering that this grotesque system is often catastrophic for people’s finances and wellbeing, leaving many needing more help and support, and ultimately the same council having to pick up the pieces.”
last May. Today ITS DONE! Govt has announced

[Chris Ham @krishammy]

People just don't see it. We have food banks while other people brag about having a photos with a man show off 30 million dollar neck chain, which is only their to show how much money they have. Just in case you don't know, they will mention it. #saturdaykitchen

All I feel is that this #LabourUK #labourparty has a very weak leader. Trumps was in negotiations with Iran when he called the strikes. Now our weak PM is allowing our bases to be used. #bbcnews #SkyNews

[Chris Ham @krishammy]

#Mandelson & #Blair are what is wrong with the #labourparty privatised parts of the #NHS draining money into pockets. They and their allies have had witch hunts against socialist. Destroying the Lab Party and the hopes of many. #starmer is their man #bbcqt #bbcnews #bbclaurak

[Chris Ham @krishammy]

Good people have left or been thrown out of the #LabourParty because of the likes of #Mandleson and his shadowy friends. Now we see what they are like #traitors #bbcnews

I grew up in a #Labour supporting family. My father ended his working life as chairman of the NUR. My mum worked at B.R.E.L. People of all types past through our house even future PMs. But watching Matthew Doyle on #newsnight I see what's wrong with Labour, plastic people.

#bbclaurak so all the program is about today is the right trying to out right them. Vote for me I'm more patriotic, no idea of what else to do but our good at waving a flag. ##bbcpolitics #BBCNews

[Chris Ham @krishammy]

All that #KeirStarmer has is to wave a bigger flag. At this #labourconference, every seat in the hall will have a Union Jack on it. There is no passion in his words. He is like a computer. Somebody has programmed him. #bbclaurak #bbcnews

[Chris Ham @krishammy]

What the hell has happened to the #labourparty biuld baby build, what the f@@@. #embarrassing clapping &whooping. This is what #LabourPartyConference has it come to. No wonder there is no faith in politics. #bbcnews #Skynews
