Educator/Writer/Student. Tweets are my views alone. Happy to debate, but will call out bigots and the wilfully ignorant. No longer putting up with that sh*t.
This is the chance to scupper Starmer.
Seven Labour MPs have the opportunity to sit as independents, at Starmer’s own instruction. No defections needed.
Oppose from within. Collaborate with other Independents and parties. Recruit more to the cause. Build an alternative.
Please understand. Boris Johnson doesn’t give a shit about you. The Tory party does not give a shit about you. They never have, and never will.
You’re on your own.
Wash your hands. Stay off work if unwell. Don’t hoard or panic. Look after/consider others.

So you can’t work out that sitting in a small metal box in the sun keeps you warmer than sitting in a large brick box out of it? I suspect you have trouble adding up.
I don’t seek to attack Lib Dem voters for the decisions of their MPs.
But would any Lib Dem voter care to explain why Swinson & co didn’t vote to protect the NHS from privatisation?
I genuinely cannot understand it.

Police officers who are not socially distancing, telling journalists who are not social distancing to adhere to social distancing rules, on the doorstep of the man who helped instigate lockdown rules which he then refused to adhere to.
We’ve really got this thing sorted. 🙄

Presumably you’re policing the morality of every other MP on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict too?
No? Just a backbencher who has won numerous awards for his Peace campaigning?

You seem a little confused Ben.
Was Tarry sacked for making up policy?
Because then Reeves should be sacked.
Or was it for standing on a picket line?
Because then you’re in the wrong political party.

'Ordinary' people? Are homeless people abnormal then? Or extraordinary? Or maybe they are just ordinary people too, and the decision to fit these bars is cruel and unnecessary.

How did the key workers get to work? And sorry, you can’t claim people are not important, and then whine when the withdrawal of their labour impacts you. Unions ARE workers. Stop pitting professions against each other. It’s what the govt want you to do, and you’re playing ball.

A Tory MP has today been forced to apologise for suggesting a bomb should be delivered to Annaliese Dodds. In Brighton. During Conference. Where’s the outrage?
If companies like Taylor Wimpey, Aston Martin and B&Q want to reopen, the government should interject, close them down and fine them heavily. It is immoral to put profits before people. Some clearly need reminding of this.

The writer of this vile piece, and those who ran it, are actual human scum. Shame on the whole, pitiful lot of you.
Could Rachel Burden BE more blatantly Tory? Defending the government at every turn, sniping at Barry Gardiner and cutting him off. The BBC needs to remind its employees of the need for impartiality. Burden - you do not speak for the public.
The Tories intend to invest billions of pounds in improving the broadband network, using our taxes, and then allow private companies to use it for free to charge us again for its use.
So we pay twice. And CEOs get rich, then avoid paying their taxes.
Open your eyes.

The bars are there because homeless people sleeping on them is considered 'unsightly'. Even if the council are helping them as they claim, this is £3500 of misspent money. I applaud the removal - I don't see it as vandalism. If we agree on this, that's great. 👍🏻

They traumatised an already devastated community, sullied the memories of three young children, injured over 50 police officers, attacked a religious building and caused criminal damage to private property. And all on the basis of lies.
Lots of shame, Emma. Tonnes of it.

It wasn’t a personal vendetta. You have tacitly acknowledged that Jones was accurate. Should he NOT mention the Spectator, when discussing the responsibility of the media, because of your presence beside him? You are in the wrong here, and I suspect you know it.

You’re a disgrace. Where are your prayers for those broken and made destitute by Tory policies? You helped put these people in power by smearing the only alternative to them. As far from Christian as you could get. Shame on you.

‘Sure of herself’? You mean for protecting herself against relentless, vicious trolls and bullies?
You’d prefer that she was silent, or showed that the intimidation was working?
That speaks volumes about you. Not Jack.

With the greatest possible respect imaginable, what for?
Anything remotely decent within Labour is being systematically purged, silenced and defamed. No one in the PLP is challenging it.
It IS sad. But it’s the reality.

You got there in the end. Glad your statement was finally approved. Delayed because of the weekend, was it? 🙄
We can do SO much better than you.
@NavyLookout
Let’s not pit workers against workers. It only encourages a race to the bottom. If other industries are underpaid, they also need to speak up. Challenge the government, not each other.
I want a journalist to ask Hancock if he actually had Covid19, or whether that was in fact utter bollocks?
Because if he did, he should still be in isolation.

Enjoying your weekend? That’s because of union action. Sick pay? Unions. Fair working conditions? Unions. Paternity/Maternity leave? You guessed it.
The strikes are due to the greed & disregard of those who run & profit from running train companies. Direct your ire at them.

Faiza has been campaigning for the seat for six years. Tatler has no connection to the area whatsoever. It is Labour who are standing against her.
It is very telling how Labour Centrists excuse blatant corruption in the party when it suits them.

So we ‘have’ to vote Labour, but Labour does not have to represent or support us, or earn votes by keeping the promises made?
Not going to be bullied into supporting a liar. If you want Labour in power, get Starmer to deliver what he promised. Stop blaming those he betrayed.
@EdmundGriffiths
He could. But it isn’t in his nature, and never was. He could have been more robust and radical in his leadership. More ruthless and cruel. But that’s not him either.
The truth is that the future of the left cannot rely solely on one man. It has to be more expansive than that.
Boris was always going to fail the UK.
We told you it was going to happen.
There was an alternative, but you either spread the lies about him, or failed to question them.
Huge thanks to all those who put us here. Well done. 👏🏼

It’s nothing to do with Labour. Unless a political party is responsible for every thought, action and belief of everyone who ever supported or voted for them? In which case the Tories also have serious issues to deal with. Stop politicising hate. It is hugely damaging.

They tried to remove it through ordered, democratic means, but were consistently thwarted.
Those in power (and Opposition) should focus less on the direct action, and more on the reason why that action was resorted to.
@Keir_Starmer
Not good enough. You promised the nationalisation of energy firms. It was the terms on which you were elected. Maintain that promise, or step down for someone else who will.
@jimmysergi_
You’re right. They should have written him a polite letter he could have safely ignored.
These young people were cynically utilised as props for a photo opportunity, and Starmer’s arrogance bit him on the backside.
Everything he says is a lie. Every promise is broken.
@AaronBastani
Please stop this. Burnham is the answer to a question that shouldn’t be asked. He’s a Blairite. A slightly more charismatic shade of Centrist beige. He would represent no change whatsoever in the current direction of travel in Labour. This poll is just a populist circlejerk.
