Dear Twitter (X) followers. Just wanted to let you know I'm finished with Twitter (X). This will be my last tweet (Xed). It has become a cesspit of disinformation and sleaze. And it's obvious the owner wants it that way. So see you on Threads. And boycott Tesla product and brands
Must watch first speech in parliament by Keir Starmer in which he tears into 14 years of Conservative failure and outlines how Labour will do better - long watch but refreshing
Keir Starmer, "Whilst I respect the tone of leader of the opposition Rishi Sunak's contribution, I can't stop my mind wandering to 9 months ago when he was at this dispatch box"
"His political hero Nigel Lawson said: to govern is to chose, and everyday serving the people of this country is a chance to make a difference for them"
"Yet Mr Speaker, the last King's speech was the day the veil of Rishi Sunak's choices slipped.. And we all saw a party, his party, content to let our countries problems fester.. Content to push aside the national interest.. As they focused almost entirely on trying to save their own skins"
"No more wedge issues.. No more gimmicks.. No more party political strategies masquerading as politics.. This is an agenda focused entirely on delivering for the people of this country.. Legislation for the national interest.. To make people better off.. Solve problems not exploit them"
"With each day that passes, my government is finding new and unexpected marks of their corruption.. Scars of the last 14 years where politics was put above the national interest.. Decline deep in the marrow of our institutions"
"We've seen it in our prisons.. In our rivers and seas.. It's even worse than we thought.. We see it in our councils, not even able to deliver services for children with special educational needs"
"The work of change has begun"

The Post Office scandal gets worse by the day. Here we see the evidence that the PO expert witness nobbled his words in the trial of Seema Misra. She went to jail pregnant on bad evidence.
Great work by Nalini Sivathasan and Lorna Acquah of @bbcnews.
You can watch our 2015 @BBCPanorama Trouble At The Post Office where I stood up for Seema.

@OctopusEnergy Hi Octopus. In your recent coms about tariffs reducing, you forgot to mention that the stand charge would be increasing by a modest 25%. Come on, you're better than that.
