@carolecadwalla Things we wouldn’t tolerate as plausible in a Bond film have become routine after the Brexiteer Tory takeover. Russian billionaire son of KGB agent given given permanent place in British parliament, by man who blocked enquiry into influence of Russian billionaires in UK politics

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

@RichardBurgon@Vicktor1111 I’d suggest that there could be a system so that those with professions that require ongoing professional activity for accreditation can do so, with the salary going to charity.
-Cut NHS waiting list by 490k

Mistakes were made, but whoever is the next PM has been left with a decent foundation.
History has hatched in London.
For the first time in over 360 years, pelican chicks have successfully been born in St. James’s Park. These four new arrivals mark a monumental milestone for wildlife in the heart of our capital.

Ten years on from Jo Cox's horrifying murder, her message of unity is more important than ever. Jo was a dedicated public servant who brought people together and tirelessly fought for her beliefs.
Today, we honour her memory by standing up for those values and against division.
London is an economic powerhouse, global hub of culture and innovation - and now winner of the Lee Kuan Yew Prize, the "Nobel Prize for cities."
London isn't declining, we're thriving.
Ten years ago today, our beloved friend and colleague, Jo Cox, was murdered. Today we are all thinking of Jo, of her family, friends, and all those who loved her.
Every day, we strive towards creating the world that she believed in, and remember her words:
“We are far more united and have far more in common than that which divides us".
Extremists, algorithms & hostile states try to divide us, to turn us against each other. But we have don’t have to follow them. We can choose to talk to each other& focus on what we have in common
That’s what Jo would have done & it was a privilege to start this with @katieamess
It’s 10 years since the murder of my good friend, Jo Cox.
A force of nature who always saw the best in people, she said that we have more in common than that which divides us.
We honour Jo’s memory by remembering that.
Seems bizarre to me that the press aren’t going bigger on the fact that Russia targeted Keir Starmer’s house and car.
We are currently about to start a Leadership contest as Starmer is seen as unpopular, but no-one is discussing the clear Russian interference on social media.
We became the 5th largest economy (again) this year having dropped under the Tories. Interestingly we are the 5th highest spender on defence. Spending Increased continuously under this Labour Gov. facts matter.
Over a million workers are now supported by the net zero economy.
Last year we broke the record for solar generation.
This year we’ve already broken records for offshore wind generation.
That’s what delivering on our clean power mission looks like.
To those who say Labour is not delivering on its manifesto- this week we nationalised one of the biggest train operators.
We're delivering for people...People over profit. We are building a fairer, greener and stronger Britain

From today, millions of passengers will have better train journeys.
We’ve nationalised Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern and Gatwick Express with plans to recruit more drivers and improve signalling to reduce delays and cancellations.
The opposition spent years calling rail nationalisation an impossible, expensive pipe dream.
Today, Labour ended the failed 30 year privatisation experiment for 80% of UK journeys without costing taxpayers a single penny.
This is what real delivery looks like
