@johnandi Define “a long time”. If it’s the last decade or so the bar to cross is not a high ones.

@ZackPolanski That’s not true Ed Miliband led Labour, Disraeli was Jewish born & a Tory leader as was Michael Howard who’s parents were Jewish immigrants. Also you didn’t say UK political party so again you are wrong and show a lack of attention to detail.
English
For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country.
The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so.
I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

@RichardBurgon I think fighting the Second World War was a slightly bigger demonstration against the far right.
English
Half a million people marched together today - in the biggest demonstration against the far-right in our history.
Our message to Farage and his allies was clear:
We will defeat your division with unity.
And we will challenge your hate with hope.

@timchap @drdavidbull You can win power but fail to use it well…….
English
@drdavidbull Three times elected by the good citizens of London cannot credibly be described as failure.

This is why the Lords needs urgent reform . Khan has destroyed London . Why are you we rewarding failure ? gbnews.com/politics/polit…

If Morgan McSweeney’s phone had been stolen surely it or the messages would be worth a fortune and would have surely come out by now…..
English
So Morgan McSweeney’s phone got stolen just before The Mandelson papers get released. Perhaps we haven’t got the defence investment report because @JohnHealey_MP ‘s dog ate it.
English
@Siobhain_Mc @mtpennycook The bill has many many good points but the implementation has clearly not been thought through. When you have former ministers evicting tenants to up the rent surely there were red flags that this may happen all across the rental market.
English
@Siobhain_Mc @mtpennycook Surely this was bound to happen. Some landlords were either going to get out of the market or have one last price hike. Why did the legislation not prevent this as without these 1.5 million homes that were going to be built landlords are in pole position.
English
Just weeks before no-fault evictions are due to be banned, Criterion Capital have been issuing these eviction notices to hundreds of tenants.
I would like to thank Housing Minister @mtpennycook for engaging on this and looking into it.

@labourlewis @ChrisGPackham Clive I don’t think it is controversial. The issue is “how”?????
English
This shouldn’t be controversial: water should be publicly owned.
I’ve spent years fighting for that in Parliament.
Now thanks to the support of tens of thousands of you, we’re gaining ground.

@martinangus You’ll be so proud of Caroline she’s off for a girls holiday in Benidorm on Saturday……..

As a resident of Croydon please do tell me you won’t be. I’d hate to bump into you in Aldi.

The Daily Mail’s obsession with doing down Dubai is getting embarrassing. Tens of thousands of British couples will not be swapping Dubai for Croydon 🙄🤣😎

@AdamPollock How does one MP pass legislation. Parliament as a whole makes legislation.
English
Stella Creasy passed legislation that bans silent prayer near places where you can have an abortion.
Apparently this doesn’t count a ban on prayer. Even though if you pray in these locations, you’ll get arrested.
Olympic-level mental gymnastics needed to argue that nonsense.
stellacreasy@stellacreasy
Buffer zones don't ban prayer. They uphold the privacy of women having an abortion. If prayer was banned in public then no one could do it. Those getting upset about iftars in public seem to want to agree there's a 'time and place' for everything. Hyperbole and hypocrisy do not for reasoned debate make.

@lukejcr As the vehicle is over 40 years old you don’t need an MOT. Ministerial job at DfT not on the cards me thinks. Why wast your time on such things and why can’t you do simple research. Not a good look for an MP, grow up!!!!!

@dave43law What’s wrong with right to buy if all the income goes into building new social housing?
English
@willjmorrison @____Foxtrot____ @HoCSpeaker @Keir_Starmer The speaker has no power over how a minister answers a question. There are simply no rules allowing the chair to tell the PM to answer that question again. It’s the PMs fault and the rules of the house that are to blame.
English
@____Foxtrot____ @HoCSpeaker @Keir_Starmer Exactly Mr Speaker. You are derelict in your duty at the moment as is Starmer.
English
@____Foxtrot____ @HoCSpeaker @Keir_Starmer The speaker has no power to instruct a minister on what they say. The rules of the house simply don’t allow it. What a member says in the house is a matter for that member. Don’t blame the chair blame the PM and MPs for not voting in extra powers for the speaker.
English
@Cx3650 @Mike_Fabricant What an MP says is a matter for that MP and nothing can be done. Unless MPs vote for a rule change and give the chair more power.
English
@Mike_Fabricant Why does starmer never answer questions. today 5 times he changed the subject away from the question. Can't MPs do anything about this farcical situation.
English
Wow!! Great news for #Labour in #Lichfield. Their support has leapt forward by 25%.
They now only stand a 92% chance of losing.
English
@ZackPolanski A prime example of not thinking through a policy. Right to buy is fine but failing to have constraint such as not renting it out and not putting all the income into house building means the policy fails.
English
One in six private renters is now renting a former council home, often at extortionate rates – and often partly paid for by the government in the form of housing benefit.
It's not just deeply unfair - it economically doesn't make any sense.

@10DowningStreet have you any idea how weak, pathetic and childish you look every time you evade a question and launch a pre prepared, scripted party political rant on a subject of your choosing.
