From the outside, there are indeed funny aspects to Brexit. The fact that migration went heaps up is certainly the funniest bit.

On International Workers’ Day, I’m thinking about those who fought to shape the modern workplace to what it is today.
And now, with this Labour government, we’re expanding workers’ rights even further.
Reform would scrap them altogether.

Labour is tackling London’s housing crisis:
✅ New rights for 2.7m renters
✅ £11bn for social and affordable housing
✅ Ended council home sell-off

Greens block. Labour builds.

@JeremyVineOn5 I found the bullying by Streep's character in the first DWP deeply unsettling. I've worked for male and female bosses, most pretty brilliant at what they did. Only one was difficult, and she didn't last. The others challenged us, rightly, and we delivered.

Do women make better bosses?
Meryl Streep who plays the big boss in The Devil Wears Prada 2, takes no prisoners but gets the job done - and with some stats showing two-thirds of British employees believe women make better bosses than men - are women really better on top?

@GarethDennis @BareLeft Of course it looks awful. Would you engage with a person who might have a bomb with no thought for your safety? Taser didn't stop him, and he might have reached for a detonator. Easy to criticise, hindsight is 20:20. What would you have done?

Having watched this back a few times today now the initial shock is over, it's clear the Met are extremely sensitive to even the suggestion of excessive force being used, because they know how bad this footage is going to look when properly scrutinised.

We must stand with @ZackPolanski at this critical moment. The Establishment and their minions are telling us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears.

May Day Isn’t a Celebration. It’s a Reminder.
Weekends weren’t given to you.
Sick pay wasn’t given to you.
Safety laws weren’t given to you.
They were fought for, and they can be taken away.
#JoinAUnion. Protect what workers built.

We now live in a two tier political ecosystem: Can you imagine the outcry if Starmer had been “gifted” £5 million by a businessman whose interests then happened to shape his policies?

@JeremyVineOn5 Keep your friends close and enemies closer still. She's a talented politician who should be Energy Secretary and get shot of Eco-or-dead Ed.

Should Starmer bring back Rayner?
The PM is reportedly offering an olive branch to his former deputy, as speculation grows over a post-election reshuffle.
Would you support Rayner's return to the cabinet?
