The most dishonest woman in politics.
She said they would employ 6500 more teachers, there are 1900 fewer.
She is treating the public with total contempt.
A big week in my estimation of @KemiBadenoch. She is big about not making party politics out of the Nowak tragedy while making every party political point she can at every opportunity - and clearly conspiring with Keir Starmer in doing so. It was a particular giveaway that she didn't ask any question on the issue that's gripped the nation at this week's #pms. We see you Kemi, we see you.
Every life matters.
One law. One standard. For everyone.
This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.
REFORM - IT NEVER ADDS UP.
Reform’s latest gimmick has been ripped apart by tax experts and economists.
Reform claim that ‘tax-free overtime’ would cost £5bn. It’s actually been costed at almost triple that - because it would be open to abuse on an industrial scale👇🏻 🧵 (1/9)
Milburn is obviously right but what are Labour going to do about it?
So far they've been fighting our plans to cut low value HE and double apprenticeships.

Walking into the declaration to confirm my eighth election as a local councillor. It is a privilege to represent the Isle of Dogs at Tower Hamlets Town Hall. My thanks to my helpers, agent and most of all the voters.
Today's Telegraph reports on some of my research about the growth of really large welfare claims - with over 600k households now getting more in benefits than the average person takes home after tax.
Quick thread: (1/10)
A party leader and sitting MP pushing an asset he’s heavily invested in.
It’s sleazy politics - using a public platform to back your own bets.
We’re doing the hard yards: building growth, jobs and investment.

Lord Ashcroft identifies “crucial centrists” who reject both Reform and the Greens.
They are the voters who will decide the next election.
Our polling shows the scale, there are millions of voters who feel unrepresented.
Win them, and you build a majority. Ignore them, and you don’t.

Today I broke a story [with help from @linfitlass] about Reform UK potentially fixing their competition to provide energy bills to a whole street.
It's a big deal and should, by rights, be picked up by mainstream media.
Luckily, there's one proper, reliable news outlet that have and are publishing my full article on Monday. Obvs its Byline Times.
But … why have the BBC, Sky News etc. missed this?
I'm not blowing my own trumpet at all, but so far, the story has had over 1.5 million views on my 𝕏 feed today.
A genuine public interest story about a potential fraudulent attempt by a political party, but it's being ignored, as always ... because it's Farage.
This is serious. Aside from Byline Times, The Nerve and the New World, the rest have capitulated to the far-right and Bannon's play.
If any outlets want to discuss this story, you know where I am.

😂 This has to be the funniest clip going.
Nigel Farage says Reform UK is “growing and being accepted everywhere”…
Cue someone in the background: “You’re not welcome here — get out of my town!”
Suddenly the tune changes: “People just aren’t accepting us because they fear change.”
So which is it, Nigel — widely accepted or not welcome? 🤔🍿
@Saracens are a shadow of their former selves. They are drifting through the season with no ambition or ideas. Too many penalties, fluffing opportunities in the 22, and who is leading at fly half? Sadly, they are the mirror image of @EnglandRugby
Excellent analysis Neil. I’ve always felt that reform of benefits and public services should start looking at where the problem is at its worst and what would move the dial in that location. Targeted, intense local interventions are far more likely to succeed.
