Stunned to learn of this but huge thanks to @DUALIPA and husband Callum Turner. 🙏

"Thames Water should be nationalised, says Andy Burnham."

And he's right. Thames Water should have been renationalised years ago.

Bravo @AndyBurnhamGM 👏👏👏👏

Unfortunately there’s still a plethora of bone idle football clubs around who can’t be arsed to produce a matchday programme. Nothing to do with finances and everything to do with laziness, thankfully #Gills are still doing things properly and honouring history and tradition. 💙

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

I am so proud to have the support of Marie Lyon, Makerfield resident and indomitable Primodos campaigner.

I will support her and all the families affected until they get justice.

[Simon Thomson @simontthomson]

Our first episode of The Political Breakdown now has more than 100 downloads! Thank you everyone! @DouglasBeattie4

“I’m proud of what we’re delivering. Fastest growing economy in the G7. UK growth is up and inflation is down. Net migration down by a staggering 82%. The asylum backlog down by 46%. The fastest reduction of waiting times in the history of the NHS. Free school meals, breakfast clubs and free child care and we’re lifting half a million children out of poverty”

This is the difference this Labour government is making.

Kids starting the day full and ready to learn, no matter their background.

An achievement all Labour MPs can be proud of- and opposed by the Conservatives and Reform.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

We’ve hit a big landmark – 10 million free breakfasts served.

10 million better days at school – more children turning up, concentrating, getting on.

10 million easier mornings for parents – better drop-offs & commutes.

Change doesn’t happen by chance, it comes with Labour. 🌹

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."

Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM

Tip of the hat sir. 👏👏👏

@campbellclaret Still supposed to be true @campbellclaret but I suspect many of the current crop of editors ignore the BBC’s editorial guidelines

Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.

Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison

Huge coverage of both

Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.

Media coverage? You judge.

[Simon Thomson @simontthomson]

Our children are laughing about the number of downloads The Political Breakdown, a new podcast with @DouglasBeattie4 and me, currently has. Please help us parents if you can, by giving it a download. Thank you.

I promised we would fix our broken railways.

Today Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern and Gatwick Express return to public ownership. Run for the public good, not private profit.

This Labour government is putting passengers first.

[Simon Thomson @simontthomson]

The Political Breakdown has over 50 downloads! Thanks for listening! Many more episodes to come. @DouglasBeattie4 https://t.co/D0cNxcX7df
