We all know how you feel Sarah.

You’ve made that perfectly clear

[Sarah Pochin MP @SarahForRuncorn]

White lives matter too, @Keir_Starmer.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance, it does not do enough to protect everyone from discrimination and harassment and it is not compatible with longstanding British values.

@EdwardJDavey and Marie Goldman have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

“I know you come from enormous privilege and have an entitled approach to politics”.

Is this an autobiography?

[Neil Coyle @coyleneil]

I have severe concerns about the incoming Coalition in Southwark and whether it will focus on community safety and housing needs. I suspect it’ll McCrash and burn. Time will tell.

Polanski: we could hold the balance of power in the next election 😤

Also Polanski: noooo you can’t scrutinise me and my policies 😔👉👈

🚨 WATCH: Zack Polanski says he receives more media scrutiny than Nigel Farage

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

It is insulting to every working class family to suggest that it’s somehow part of our culture to be vile, nasty and sexist and that anyone appalled at the Reform candidate in Makerfield’s comments is somekind of middle class pearl clutcher.

[Social Liberal Forum 🟠 @soclibforum]

If Tony Blair cared so much, he could stand for office instead of sniping from the sidelines.

Let’s not forget: Blair tried Digital ID and backed down. He is the architect of PFI which has crippled our public services.

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

"If we carry on like this... we're going to create a situation where economically we're not able to grow."

Sir Tony Blair says the current welfare and pension triple-lock policies are 'not affordable', and argues for change in the NHS.

[Lib Dem Peers @LibDemPeers]

A speaker at last Saturday's far-right rally pointed at Parliament and demanded Islam be removed from this building.

Lib Dem peer @shaffaqmohd brought that moment to the Lords and what it meant for his sons who serve this country.

[Lib Dem Peers @LibDemPeers]

35°C in late May. Records broken. The country woefully unprepared.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

How much more evidence does Starmer need?

Teachers, parents, medical experts, even the kids themselves are warning about the effects of social media, yet Labour are dithering.

It’s time to do the right thing and raise the age limit for social media to 16.

[Social Liberal Forum 🟠 @soclibforum]

Reform UK pretend to protect women and girls.

They are the very same people we warn women and girls about.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

The Government trying to justify how the height of the London Eye is the centre of British Culture and integration

[Lib Dem Peers @LibDemPeers]

The immigration minister couldn't say how tall the London Eye is — yet it's a question migrants must answer to settle in Britain.

Don Foster, Lib Dem peer and chair of the Justice and Home Affairs Committee, challenged him on it.

Labour MPs when they can block young people and families from housing

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Big win for Peckham 🏘️

The Planning Inspectorate has rejected Berkeley Homes’ plans for the Aylesham Centre after campaigning by residents, traders, local organisations and the @ACAPeckham.

This victory belongs to the whole community.

We need new homes and investment - but development must work for local people, protect Peckham’s character, and deliver genuine long-term benefit, not just luxury flats.

Now the conversation turns to what Peckham needs next.
