A mention for our own @PaulEFishr here. What must be most dismaying for #Labour is losing councillors to the left and right, politically. They are failing to hold their coalition together. The race for the next @MayorofLondon will be genuinely open.

18 months ago this was us - winning the @VisitEngland Pub of the Year award. Elation, plans for a bright future, investment and expansion all planned. Now? Sleepless nights, anxiety, real dread. A very uncertain future for my family. This is what you have done @RachelReevesMP .

Jury trials have been a cornerstone of our justice system for more than 800 years. That is, until David Lammy showed up. He wants to tear up this ancient liberty. We say they are vital. Join us at https://t.co/043m7swKcF

@DavidMcNab17 The NHS was never defunded. It's budget has increased every year, including per capita. In fact its budget per capita is considerably higher than 15 years ago.

Music should be a uniting force, not a tool to be weaponised for political ends. It is absolutely right that Israel has been allowed to participate in #Eurovision and it is deeply concerning to see so many countries choosing to boycott the event because of Israelβs inclusion.
Netherlands, Spain and Ireland boycott Eurovision after Israel allowed to compete

Not the spin I would have put on it, but we did try and tell you it would be worse. And it has fallen apart as predicted. There was nothing magical about that. This iteration of Labour is faith over fact, doctrine over reason. So, taxes are up, authoritarian moves on justice
I am being forced to wonder whether Rishi Sunak winning the last general election and bumbling on with bad advisors screwing up constantly for five years straight would have been preferable to this lot. That's how poor this government is now.

Agree.
@VoteTimBarnes The irony is if Reform gained some immediate power it may not be to their ultimate advantage. Labour are making a tactical error.
