Peter Oborne ripping the idea that Keir Starmer is a "decent man" to shreds. 👍

Dear @EnvAgency.

In February this year, after 4 years of asking you to look after the Aldersbrook, I led a team of volunteers to do your job for you & clean out tonnes of silt & leaves, as well as hundreds of bags of rubbish. Through the effort of community volunteers & donations, & at zero cost to the taxpayer, we turned a forgotten silted up ditch back into a river again.

Last nights intense rain storm showed why our actions are the very definition of “strengthening water resilience”. A huge amount of rain fell in a short time, but the restored section of the Aldersbrook has been able to hold 100’s of thousands of litres more water, stopping this water running into the Roding, & thereby *reducing* local flood risk. The first photograph below is of the Aldersbrook after the rains this morning- a big contrast to the area before we did the work.

Perhaps more importantly, this water, instead of running straight off into the Roding & hence the sea is now being held in the Aldersbrook & gradually released so it can be used by nature. It is feeding marshes, trees & wildlife, topping up groundwater & helping to reduce our flood/drought cycle. If you want to strengthen water resilience, we need thousands more projects like the Aldersbrook around the country.

So the question I ask you, Environment Agency, is why you are threatening me with two years imprisonment, rather than offering to meet & discuss how we can work together to restore the Roding & its tributaries, which could become a blueprint for you cooperating with local river guardians nationwide?

No, Keir Starmer is not a decent man who fell victim to events.

He is an unprincipled politician who abandoned promises with as much enthusiasm as he trousered freebies from rich donors.

In a rare departure from Klimt's decorative style, Old Woman (1909) looks straight at age and the passage of time. Stripped of his signature ornament, this raw study of human vulnerability reminds the viewer that under artificial shimmer, reality remains. #artbots #klimt

The fact that climate change & how to fix it is not the number one story every single day is proof of something deep & scarily wrong with our society.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

@RobertJenrick Would you congratulate your children if they behaved like this Bobby? What example do you think you're setting?

[Jum @JesterJum]

Not to sound geriatric but...you know what i miss?

Turning something on and it just works.

No account setup. No app download. No QR code. No "sign in to continue".

Just plug it in and it does the thing its supposed to do.

@darrenpjones 28k in London? What are you on, Darren? What’s your salary?

The unanswered question is why Josh Simons threw himself on his sword and resigned his Makerfield seat for Andy Burnham? He ran Labour Together & along with Morgan McSweeny and Mandelson nurtured Starmer as Labour leader, and organised a savage campaign to remove Jeremy Corbyn.

"From the moment this government was elected, it has decided there isn’t any money to feed, house or care for people — but there is always money to bomb, kill and injure them."

I don’t mind my data being used my for research to help the NHS etc, however, because the government have now allowed Palantir access, I have withdrawn my consent using this link:

Nigel Farage has 5 houses.

Zack Polanski lives in a house share with 5 other people.

The media is trying to tell you Zack is the problem.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

This country might be about to have its 6th Prime Minister in 7 years.

Why? Because they’ve all failed to take on a rigged economic system that enriches the few at the expense of us all.

People want a society where children don’t go hungry. That is really not too much to ask.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

Misan Harriman is a highly respected and influential
Black man.
He is being attacked by the Telegraph with smears.
His crime is to point out that the Golders Green attacker also attacked a Muslim man.
I stand with Misan.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Amazing.

Labour should definitely make Wes Streeting prime minister.

Might as well just let the whole thing burn to the ground!

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

@misanharriman @Telegraph Ask yourself, is this defamatory (ie is it a factual statement about me that is untrue?) And 2nd, has it done me 'serious harm' - which can be determined in terms of numbers of readers - especially those who've reacted as if it was a true statement? If yes x2, see a lawyer.

[Grifter Buster @keepsayingitok]

@MichaelRosenYes @misanharriman @Telegraph Camilla Tominey also joined in, making the same claim in response to a supportive post from Diane Abbott. Camilla has since deleted it but, not before it had been seen by 26,000 people.

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer.
In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll.
We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.
