Proud Teessider. Part time singer songwriter and fulltime survivor. All opinions are entirely my own.

Tory source: "Nadhim asked for a peerage several times. Given he was sacked for his dodgy tax affairs, this was never going to happen. His defection tells you everything you need to know about Reform being a repository for disgraced politicians."

@BBCTees @GaryAPhilipson really enjoying the celebration of Chris Rea’s life & music.
I have fond memories of his early days and the 78 Lindisfarne Tour and Philmores Gigs.
Perhaps my favourite tunes are Centaph/Letters from Amsterdam his old into music♥️

BREAKING: Labour's landmark Employment Rights Bill has PASSED both Houses of Parliament.

The new rights in this Bill will be transformational, putting power back into the hands of working people.

This is a massive step forward in delivering Labour's New Deal for Working People - passed by a Labour Government, delivered with the labour movement.

Time to celebrate 🎉

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

As Deputy Prime Minister, I’m focused on delivering for the British people and I tend to ignore the noise.

But in the past week I’ve been sent stories about:

– A Reform mayoral candidate telling me to “go home” to the Caribbean where he said my “loyalties lie”.

– A Reform councillor’s TikTok account endorsing a comment calling me a “greedy none (sic) thoroughbred”.

– A Reform council leader referring to me saying “no foreign national or first-generation migrant should be allowed to sit in Parliament” - apparently unaware I’m a British citizen born in North London.

I will never be cowed by racism. But I will call it what it is.

@Nigel_Farage, you need to clean up your party and stamp out this 1950s-style hate.

Lifting children out of poverty is what Labour governments do.

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Rachel Reeves has today done more to transform the lives of 450,000 of Britain’s poorest children than any of the seven previous Conservative chancellors, who, in 14 long years, did nothing but harm to the lives of vulnerable children.

Richard Tice told The Times in March he had “never met Nathan Gill”

Tice - "Please welcome to the stage, Nathan Gill."

All Reform's funding must now come under urgent scrutiny. 🇬🇧

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Has @Nigel_Farage done a press conference today?

[Labour Press @labourpress]

There's always a tweet...

[BBC Breaking News @BBCBreaking]

"Allowing money to corrupt your moral compass constitutes a grave betrayal of the trust vested in you by the electorate"

Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales Nathan Gill sentenced for taking bribes as part of a pro-Russia influence campaign

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

BREAKING: Nathan Gill, Reform’s former leader in Wales, has been sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for taking bribes to share pro-Russian propaganda.

Read that again.

[Michael Crick @MichaelLCrick]

Whoever is Reform spokesman on Farage & Dulwich isn't credible. It's not one person's word against another, but one against more than 12. If you were a Jewish schoolboy & someone said Hitler was right, you should be gassed, & made a hiss, you'd remember it for ever - vividly.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

We need a circuit break to fix testing, protect the NHS and save lives.

#PMQs

[Imogen @Imogenlemon02]

Turns out Starmer was right in calling for a circuit break in October 2020.

Lives could have been saved and as, Baroness Hallett points out, we might have avoided the damaging second lockdown.

If only Johnson had listened. Instead he called Starmer Captain Hindsight!

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

Johnson legacy - Brexit. And Covid chaos and catastrophe. Never again should someone so unserious be allowed at the bottom of the political pile let alone the top

[BBC Politics @BBCPolitics]

Nigel Farage must explain reports of racist comments, PM Keir Starmer says
