#Reshuffle

The height of this achievement cannot be overstated.
Huge congratulations!
BREAKING: We just disrupted @Keir_Starmer because his manifesto fails to deliver for our generation.
When it comes to tackling the climate crisis, and improving the quality of life for everyone in this country, Labour’s plans don’t touch the sides.

“I’m tired is code for: I’ve hit the exhaustion wall/power-off button; I don’t have the energy to explain the systemic overload my body and mind are experiencing; I need to be alone; I’m sorry.” What People With #ChronicIllness Mean When They Say I'm Tired https://t.co/rps6NX7kWY
The statistics regulator will rule today (Friday) on whether the prime minister misled voters around the growth in disabled people found not fit for work, just two days after the same watchdog promised to investigate his claims about Labour’s tax plans.

With Boris Johnson's latest disgusting slur ringing in our ears, we should remind ourselves what he said in the past.
Link takes you to over 100 offensive, homophobic, sexist, racist remarks Boris Johnson said and wrote over the years. All fully sourced.

Rishi Sunak belatedly admitted Frank Hester’s remarks that “I made him hate all black woman and should be shot” were racist. Now it turns out Sunak accepted a further £5 million from him. An insult to me and all black women.
Disabled people were not mentioned once in the first major television event of the general election campaign, despite the participants speaking more than 21,000 words over more than two hours.

Hearing Noam Chomsky's health has deteriorated to the point it now prevents him from writing, commenting or participating in the public domain. As an educator he has been without equal. An intellectual giant in an age of confusion, misinformation & soundbites. Thank you, Noam. ❤️
The shortage of accessible housing in England poses a “clear and direct risk” to disabled people across the country, with many of them living in unsuitable accommodation for years “without hope”, a report by a committee of MPs has concluded.

For over a year, Keir Starmer has been trying to push Diane Abbott out of Parliament.
Today, he admitted defeat.
Solidarity with @HackneyAbbott always ❤️🌹
In the election I’m voting to deal with the emergency and oppose the far right. I’m voting with the most vulnerable person that I know in mind. The millions in poverty, who can’t physically or mentally survive another five years of this are my number one concern. My priorities are in order.
FPTP is undemocratic so I’m promoting the loophole and encouraging everybody I know and can reach with my platforms else to do the same. Tactical voting is how we will destroy the bastards that have ruined our lives for 14 years.
I will vote for Labour. My vote for isn’t based on loving them as a party or because they represent me perfectly, no politician ever will, it’s practical. I know they’ll do a better job, because my cat in a fucking bow tie would do a better job.
They’re the route out. That’s what it’s about for me and it always been. It’s logical. Not ideological.
Never make political figures your idols. it makes them beyond reproach. We’ve seen firsthand the horrors that populism brings. Send Farage into obscurity along with the Conservative Party, he’s how we ended up with BluKip. He’s a shit that won’t flush until we collectively reject his outdated fascistic irrelevant bullshit.
Vote against the National Front. Vote against upperclasshole conmen posing as patriots who destroy our lives so their hedgefunder donors can get even richer. Vote to take your country back from racists.
Then demand voter reform and press reform.
Vote tactically. Destroy them.
