Yes! From #NoKings in Miami. We know the poem, we know our history, let's change our future. (Not my pic - from OrangeSage on BlueSky.)

Sad to hear that @aaronned19 will be hanging up his skates at the end of the year. He is a top bloke and a great ice-hockey player who has had a brilliant career and really delivered for Swindon! Lots more to come from him as a full-time coach…

Delighted to have secured a @UKParliament debate next Tuesday in Westminster Hall on Government support for the co-operative sector 🐝 If we want an inclusive, sustainable and resilient economy we have to deliver on our promise to double the size of the co-operative sector. So

Pride in Place gives communities more than funding - it gives them a future, guaranteed by ownership, putting common assets in common hands for years to come.

The NHS is so precious to all of us. Labour will always protect it. We cannot let Nigel Farage anywhere near it.

Today, @greateranglia has transferred into public ownership, and the Transport Secretary, @Heidi_Labour, visited East Anglia to mark this new chapter. We want passengers to be at the heart of our railways again, saving taxpayers millions in fees, and ensuring value for money.

Great to meet @GordonBrown in Fife to see the work of the Big House Multibank. Ending child poverty is Labour’s moral mission: it’s why I entered politics and it’ll be my top priority as deputy leader.

Labour have presided over a "doom loop of higher taxes, weaker borders and month after month of chaos" says Kemi Badenoch who was part of a government that raised taxes and immigration levels by record amounts, whilst changing leader no fewer than four times

Kemi Badenoch tells Tory conference: "Britain is stagnating while the world around us moves on". She says only the Tories are "competent" enough to take Britain into a prosperous new era. Hard message to land when the Tories have just run the country for 14 years.
