@owenjonesjourno The Gaza Independents have an entirely different worldview to the libertarian left. Just a million miles apart. They only agree with you on one issue. Gaza. That’s it. They’re not socially liberal. You genuinely have more in common with David Cameron than them on LGBT rights.

If you don't think it's democratic that 33.7% of votes should give a party nearly 64% of the seats in Parliament, then please, sign and share as much as you can. Currently, your vote can be wasted, it can be ignored. Get your voice heard. Equality for all.

#YourParty cannot win over the deindustrialised working class in great swathes of the country running up the middle to the North & on the coasts. The Gaza Independents only appeal to those who are interested in Gaza. The British left are an embarrassment to those who came before

In 2020, I learned how to walk again and my breakthrough moment was walking from my hospital bed to the loo without using a stick. To inspire me I sang to myself 'Search for the hero inside yourself'. Today, on camera, I met Heather Small to thank her.

The proposed Corbyn-Sultana new left party galvanised so much support and hope. And it is clearly a bit of a shitshow. Given the country is veering towards fascism, this is unforgivable. If it's not resolved soon, people will switch off and just bet everything on the Greens.

As Lambeth leader Steve Reed supported 640 homes beside St Thomas’ (2007), 327 homes behind the National Theatre (2008), 140 homes beside Waterloo Station (2012) - yet none have been built, and the sites today lie vacant, rotting. Exhortation does not equal action.

Endless looping interaction with a bot at @EE after I was asked by them this morning to call back, but now can find no way of speaking to any human. Any hints welcome. #EE #CustomerExperience #CustomerDisservice

"There was reason there was a French Revolution"
Reports on Trump banquet 👉🏽Slavish , uncritical details of preparations, menu , seating , wealth , vintage of wines . I’m sure we’re supposed to be dazzled but there was a reason there was a French Revolution & it probably looked a lot like this 🥴. https://t.co/2EmiieZCeS

From Northampton to Polanyi for @michaellondonsf
Believe it or not, I had an old school friend on today’s marches in London. He sent me some photos from the crowd. We went to middle school together and grew up on the same Eastern District council estate in Northampton. I asked him why he was there. He gave me two answers:

Zarah Sultana has announced that membership of the new left party hit 20,000 less than three hours after the membership portal opened. However, Jeremy Corbyn has said that the portal is “unauthorised”, in what appears to be a split between the two co-founders. On Thursday

Do you think it's right that @BBCNews give 25% of their coverage to a party with 0.6% of parliamentary seats?

@PhinHarper Has anyone ever calculated how many homes have been removed by the demolition of perfectly decent tower blocks in London (and round the country)?
