  2. #TressaBurke chief executive of the Glasgow #Disability Alliance, just turned down a MBE:

    "I feel that I cannot accept a personal honour because disabled people are being so dishonoured at this time.

    "In fact we are being demonised, dehumanised and scapegoated for political choices and policy failures by consecutive governments."

  3. "Why is Starmer pinning his political reputation on such a manifestly unpopular policy? When he announced it, he claimed it would stop illegal immigration by putting an end to illegal work, an argument so hopeless that even he’s abandoned it (people who employ illegal immigrants being the least obvious demographic to abide by any new rules).
    Instead he’s tweeted a series of increasingly desperate reasons, all of which have been comprehensively ratioed (ie comments vastly outnumbering shares) and community noted (fact-checked by users)."

    Signed. It's annoying being reminded about the u-turns and inaction by the #LabourGovernment though the annoyance is with said government not the petition!

  8. This week the Government finally announced their plans to tackle lack of trust by creating an Ethics & Integrity Commission.
    It sounds good on paper, but when you look at the details, it falls well short of what Labour promised in opposition.

  9. “I care more about the young family getting on the housing ladder than I do about protecting some snails,” said Rachel Reeves, blaming bats and snails for the HS2 failure, reducing a complex failure to a ridiculous soundbite.

    Another nail in the coffin re my labour membership! Oh wait, I already left because of multiple more important failings, none of which can be blamed on bats or snails.

  10. Mindblowing life hack: If you are a country with multiple political parties and you first elect the biggest party, it betrays it, then you vote for the second biggest party and it also betrays you, maybe not go back to the other racketeer. You've got other parties, you can collectively elect, even if they aren't the two major parties.

  11. Keir Starmer said today that he wants to build strong trading relations with Donald Trump.

    There really is one mug born every minute. There are no strong trading relations with gangsters, there is only an extortion racket.

    What a muppet.

  12. I’ve been following the trials and tribulations of a new government that seems, through renewed austerity and scandals over free clothes and Taylor Swift tickets from donors, to have concluded the shortest political honeymoon in history. I was watching a clip of (I think it was Iain Dale) – speaking with the Chancellor Rachel Reeves....

  13. "Can somebody please tell the Labour party that they won the election?"

    William Keegan continues to put the boot into Labour’s dire economic policy, with particular reference to Rachel 'Call Me Thatcher' Reeves.
