Commissioned for 2 new series on CBeebies, once again to be filmed in Scotland!
After the tragic deaths of Jo Cox and David Amess, perhaps it might a good idea for the prime minister not to repeat far right smears. Johnson is unfit for office, no redeemable features.
BREAKING Police Scotland has submitted a report in connection with the alleged "embezzlement of funds from the Scottish National Party" to prosecutors. The force says investigations continue and it will make no further comment.

Clip from the Question Time 2005 election leaders’ special in which voters complain to Tony Blair about being given doctors’ appointments sooner than needed
I get that David Cameron may need to charter a plane when travelling to multiple countries in one week, but that does not justify spending hundreds of thousands of pounds at taxpayers' expense to hire one of the most luxurious private jets on the market.
🚨 Exclusive: CCHQ are preparing failing to ramp up attacks on Starmer over his failure to prosecute Sauron for his attempts to take over Middle Earth. A Tory source said "we have fuck all else".

F/w 20th - 25th June. Changes vs. Notional 2019 result
I have resigned from Labour and thus my role as Momentum Co-Chair.
I can no longer support a Labour Party led by a man who backed war crimes in Gaza, u-turns on climate & abandons children to poverty.
I will now sit as an Independent councillor in Worthing.
My statement 👇
Amazing how Starmer is more oppositional now, it was like there was a national emergency before and the public would have expected politicians to pull together. Strange eh?
Imagine being both the worst Piers, and the worst Corbyn. It's an achievement I suppose.
He should have been arrested when he was hanging around schools.
Moving back to the electoral college system of Labour leadership elections is "a shameful attack on democracy" says Labour MP Zarah Sultana
"As socialists and social democrats we should be pushing for more democracy"

I dislike him because he got 2 Es despite a privileged background, believes in homeopathy, appeared on Iranian Press TV, promoted Russian state media, did his weird sniffling thing when responding to mild criticism, claimed to have won the argument in 2019, and is a crank.
If I had lost a safe council seat, a safe constituency seat, ran Burgon's awful campaign for deputy leader, and then quit my NEC term midterm after failing to work with colleagues, I think I would refrain from offering political advice.
"Now you might feel groggy afterwards, I would recommend taking the rest of the day off, any articles you write may have to be amended later which would we be embarrassing".
It’s no wonder many Labour members feel the days of selection stitch ups and the draconian blocking of left candidates are well and truly back.
This is outrageous.

So on this…Labour spokesperson says story that Starmer has asked for the £28bn to be “watered down”, is “categorically untrue”.
They say all plans are subject to fiscal rules but the position on the green prosperity plan was “unchanged”.
You are in your 30s, were the spokesman for the former leader of the Labour Party and were director of communications for Rebecca Long Bailey's leadership. Is inciting a pile on some random Labour member good comms?

Wasn't that long ago he was on Novara suggesting if Labour lost Batley and Spen that John McDonnell could challenge for the leadership or Rayner could could be used as a stalking horse. He also gave a very pally interview with George Galloway. He's genuinely upset at Lab polling.
I'm backing this rule change for this year's Labour Party Conference that, if passed, could see the whip returned to Jeremy Corbyn
The change would make the Parliamentary Labour Party accountable to Conference on decisions to withdraw the whip.

🚨NEW POLLING🚨
…of Conservative Party members.
Unlike voters as a whole, Tory Members still think Boris Johnson should stay in the top job.
66% Think he should remain as leader
21% Think he should resign
13% Don’t know
Apparently an ex Lab MP getting a job in the private sector is humiliating for the party, what about the fact he quit due to the party's mishandling of antisemitism?
Rishi Sunak's uturn may have alienated half his party, annoyed industry, and pissed off an electorate increasingly concerned with the environment, but it is in fact a masterstroke that will put huge pressure on Keir Starmer. My piece in the ipaper ✍️
Every Labour MP who nominated Corbyn to "widen the debate" should be made to campaign in Islington North. It's going to be a binfire, and they should take their share of it.
It is 2083. Former PM Starmer has been dead for 30 years, the Football World Cup has been reduced from 512 to 256 teams, England have won an away Ashes 5 - 0, Batman has had its 11th reboot, Femi is pretending to have a housemate, and Dan Hodges is still talking about Beergate.

During the Labour leadership race, RLB agreed to apologise and to settle the case with the whistle blowers. Matt Zarb-Cousin worked on her campaign, Len McCluskey financed her campaign, Ian Laverly/ endorsed her, Corbyn wanted to be her Shadow Foreign sec. Hypocrites.

It is a well known meme where the joke is the man in the meme is thinking about something stupid or weird. It is not sexist or derogatory to women.
Stop retweeting the dreadful Tom London account into my timeline unless it is too mock him. It's a crank account that threatens to quit Labour every couple of days, and recommends crank rags like the Canary.
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said NATO’s “build-up of military personnel” in Eastern Europe is to blame for the current tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
The video below was featured in a live stream titled: 'No War in Ukraine: Stop NATO Expansion'.
Labour's policy on private schools is a personal attack on me and other aspiration middle class people. Labour needs to understand people want their children to work for think tanks and lose selection battles for Tory seats. My latest dirge in the i ✍️
🏫 Labour's war on private schools shows a fundamental misreading of middle class aspiration. The party seems to have forgot that not every independent school is Eton and their plans risk putting more even pressure on the state.

Pidcock isn't going to be the next PM, Burgon isn't going to be the next PM, Zara Sultana isn't going to be the next PM.
I'm really hoping the Labour left stop wasting their time believing this nonsense.
His length of time as a Labour MP, the fact he was the previous leader, or that he's a member doesn't mean he deserves to get the whip back. Anyway he clear doesn't want it, as he hasn't deleted his statement.
A man who is a member of the Labour Party, who was first elected as a Labour MP nearly 40 years ago, and was the last leader of the Labour Party, has been prevented from calling himself a Labour MP or running as one.
Farcical, vicious, and undemocratic.
