I think @X has become anti social media Sadly, rammed with fake accounts, fake news, blue tick bots & little to no action on racism & abuse It’s played a negative, enabling part in the recent riots in England in my opinion I won’t be posting here again Regulation is urgent

So so sad that when communities most need unity, support and strength there are *some* opportunist individuals who seek to divide and in doing so cause more hurt

Interesting to note that the former government’s chief architects of Brexit - Johnson, Truss, Gove, Rees-Mogg, Leadsom are all gone from public office, either resigned or defeated leaving behind their £32bn per annum Brexit bill
As the Office for Budget Responsibility @OBR_UK hits the headlines for giving us some hard truths… …they gave the country hard truths about the cost of Brexit to the UK economy in 2021… …OBR recent review reaffirms £32bn per annum cost to our economy https://t.co/fhkwMGaUaN

And every lead Councillor for finance in every local authority in the land (of all political persuasions) will be like 🙄🤬
Office for Budget Responsibility @OBR_UK backs up Chancellor @RachelReevesMP claim of a £20billion plus black hole in the public finances “constitute one of the largest year-ahead overspends…outside pandemic years”

@BenZaranko That is one hell of an unfunded overspend in just one government spending area Pretty shameful to leave that behind for someone else to deal with
Rachel Reeves says £6.4bn overspend on asylum this year. Huge number. Does genuinely appear to have been unfunded.

Worth a look at what @BenZaranko says
Need to see the detail, but I think Rachel Reeves has grounds to be cross. The in-year funding pressures do genuinely appear to be greater than could be discerned from outside. The £9bn contingency ‘reserve’ has seemingly been spent several times over. It’s a mess.

Political will is what this country has been lacking for 14 years Steve Reed has it in spades
The Labour Government will secure the biggest-ever investment to fix our broken water system, boosting economic growth and creating thousands of jobs across the country as we clean up our polluted waterways.

Shoplifting & street crime are soaring yet there are far fewer neighbourhood police on streets - legacy of 14 Tory years. Labour will rebuild neighbourhood policing with new powers to crackdown on antisocial behaviour in our town centres & communities. https://t.co/5YLjg6uBOZ

Street crime is surging across the country, with a 40% increase in theft against the person in the last year alone.

Last week, we welcomed @simonlightwood, the new Local Transport Minister from the @transportgovuk, for his first official engagement. Joined by @ClaireWard4EM & @CllrNeghat, we discussed the successes that our local ownership by @MyNottingham has brought to public transport.

We've long argued that employment support should be localised to get better results for citizens. Experiments across our cities have shown the potential to save costs and improve outcomes. We look to working on this together with Govt @leicesterliz
