Credit where credit’s due tonight Tories & LibDems were given voice on the BBCNews. Though focus was still on Reform UK with Chris Mason flagging we’d ’hear from reform after this from the LibDems’ they really can’t let go can they? lol keep signing petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
“If the elections bill lands with no promise of a commission on electoral reform a great many Labour MPs will sign an amendment to include it – that would be a serious rebellion on a fundamental principle. Better by far for Starmer to seize the initiative” ✒️ Polly Toynbee
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?

Dragon House in York was defaced with racist graffiti last week, targeting a family who’ve been part of their community for over ten years. One window cleaner from Crystal Clean Services stepped up to clear the abuse.
From what we've been told - its not a fish kill- its an everything kill for over 40 miles of river. Insects, birds, mammals also impacted. This should, by now, be a serious criminal matter.
I’ve been a Labour supporter all my life, and a party member for much of it. But enough is enough. That’s me gone. Should have done it months ago.

Another example of the transfer of our money to landlords. On top of £20bn of housing benefit given to private landlords every year. Councils need to be funded and empowered to build homes that we need, and given powers to buy back homes when landlords sell up.
Brighton Pavillion, Central Devon, Twickenham + Frome & East Somerset are leading the petition numbers. If you’re in those seats make your MP known of the strength of feeling building up across the UK. May be they can raise it themselves. M’time keep signing petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The previous Conservative government left behind a legacy of failure, but the Labour government has not been quick enough to address the unsolved crime epidemic. Thousands of innocent victims are being left without the justice they deserve.

Also, again, the aim shouldn't be winning over the 10-15% who are Reform ultras, its getting the 10-15% who are drifting towards them.
It's very simple. The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money. Not the people with hardly any money. It really shouldn't need explaining.
7. We are so lucky to have some of the best renewable resources in the world in the UK, inc. a fifth of the world's offshore wind capacity. If we harness that resource & support domestic manufacturing of the kit that's needed we could have secure, affordable energy & jobs for the long-term.
Ugh. Does @teamlabouruk.bsky.social want to take away our right to privacy? Or our right to family life? Or both? I don't think 'removing our human rights' was the kind of change most people who voted for Labour were looking for. 1/2
Pakistan has installed 50GW of solar in the last three years. That's as much generation capacity as they built since they became independent in the late 40s. This is energy not tied to the price of oil and insulated from inflation. There is no argument for fossil fuel.
Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.
Cars parked on the pavement can be frustrating and dangerous. 5 years ago, there was a consultation into giving councils powers to tackle this, but the Tories ignored it. I've written to Minister Greenwood & 36 Labour MPs to share our support to end this practice. Pavements are for people
