@Veritas_helper @Manifesttext @DanNeidle @apple_shwn Brexit was the reason he was given the gift. Security was what it was intended to be spent on. Two different concepts.

@Manifesttext @DanNeidle @apple_shwn He said it was to pay for security, not for his work on brexit.

I regret to inform you that we will be publishing a detailed analysis this week of the £5m payment to Nigel Farage, and whether it's taxable. It is likely to annoy *everybody*.
(except tax advisers, which is all that matters)

@ThomasWillett9 You lose all credibility when you call brave intelligent young women like that “fascism”.
You are a bully.
English
Trans people ARE reality.
They exist. They have always existed. There is no evidence to suggest their existence or rights has harmed cís women.
There is evidence to the contrary though, that anti-trans legislation harms cís women.
Wake up and smell the fascism.

@chisato_madison @MaeveHalligan @Alexarmstrong @GBNEWS Are you saying “transwomen” are not literally women?
English
@MaeveHalligan @Alexarmstrong @GBNEWS How is calling a trans woman a she saying biology doesn't exist? Are you always hyper literal about everything? Do you think it's okay to tell women who have abortions that they killed their unborn babies, because it's a factual statement? Or do you condider that insensitive?

"My speech symbolises the fact that not all students - and not all young women - are willing to going along with this absolute LIE that men and women are, somehow, interchangeable categories."

@countoutvictory @WalkerMarcus I would call a house in central London that you can live in at below market rent and hand down to your descendants quite an asset
English
@WalkerMarcus Ooh ooh i know this, it's because a house is an asset and a tenancy agreement isn't! What do I win?
English
Explain to me why you should be able to inherit a £3 million tenancy without paying inheritance tax but not a £3 million house your parents actually bought and paid for.
London Renters Union@LDNRentersUnion
Today, members in Tower Hamlets stopped a family being evicted from their home of 40 years! Housing association Gateway are refusing to pass the tenancy down after the family's parents passed away. Outrageous! We will resist forced displacement every time!
English
@barnyboatman @WalkerMarcus If that family can effectively chooses to stay there in perpetuity, handing the house down the generations, they effectively have ownership of the asset.
English
Well, there is no such thing as ‘a £3 million tenancy’ is there?
You can’t sell it like you can a house.
There is no equivalent process whereby people lose all right to live in a house their parents left them. If you have to sell a house for £3 million to pay tax you will not be left destitute in the same way you may be if you are evicted.

This young woman, @MaeveHalligan is wonderful and courageous. And this is the speech of the decade.

It’s another one of those days.
My equipment was just smashed to the ground. That’s another broken tripod, and this time my DJI audio equipment did not survive.
Police are already involved. They’ve been great. I had 3 visits from them today.
This man had been staring at me from across the street for probably 10 minutes.
He waited until my back was turned to smash my gear.

@bencsmoke Because he’s “true Labour” and “working class”. I.e. has a northern accent. That is literally all he has going for him over Starmer with northern voters.

I suspect one day this will come to be seen as a historic speech.

lIf you do anything today, watch @MaeveHalligan at the Cambridge Union. I genuinely think this was the first time many people in that room were confronted with the hard reality of the trans debate, rather than the slogans that usually surround it. @BuckAngel was exceptional: calm, articulate, humane. Ultimate respect. And then there was Helen Webberley. I remember once thinking the criticism directed at her by GC women was excessive, especially the claim she was ‘pure evil’. After hearing her speak, I no longer think that. She is totally insincere. I can deal with hard ideologues- they believe they are telling the truth; they are genuine, @HelenWebberley is different. One audience member, a trans-identified male and former patient of hers, stood to speak during points of information. His account of how he had been treated was deeply disturbing. Watch the full debate. It is worth your time.

@JablonskiMercia @salltweets But maybe just maybe she will have lived a bit happier life more comfortable that's nice

I am absolutely devastated
Men who claim to be women have more rights than actual women in Australia.
It is women who are being discriminated against, not the men who claim to be us.
But in a sense, nothing has changed: we will all wake up tomorrow & men will still not be women.

@supertanskiii Only positive because he’s been a big fish in a small pond.

I back Andy Burnham as a prime ministerial candidate. Don’t agree with some of his past actions but he’s our most popular politician and has a rare positive rating. He’s a solid communicator, he supports PR, his vision is broadly progressive and he could see off Farage.
Do it.

We have a choice: either tax the very rich more or have widespread extreme poverty

@PeterStefanovi2 How is that even possible when Brexit has crippled our economy? 🤪

This is encouraging. UK third in the G7 for cumulative growth

Honestly, bond markets do not "go into hissy fits" - they can destroy an economy and its democracy. Makes me sick to my stomach that politicians don't understand this after Greece and Truss. Even Lenin understood bond markets!
Novara Media@novaramedia
"If the British government is going to be completely dominated by the bond market, MPs might as well go home." Diane Abbott told Cathy Newman on Sky News that whoever replaces Keir Starmer as prime minister must go through a "properly organised selection process", regardless of any "hissy fit" made by the bond markets. When this provoked laughter from Newman and eye rolling from former Conservative cabinet minister Gillian Keegan, @HackneyAbbott argued that there's no point in having a parliament if the financial sector always has the final word.
English
To anyone considering a leadership challenge I say - put the country first, not your own interests or those you might claim are the interests of the party.
Keir Starmer has a massive democratic mandate from the public, nobody has the right to seek to depose him, nobody.
Not Wes, not Ed, not Andy, not Angie.
Yes Keir is unpopular in the polls, that’s current public sentiment - it’s not a mandate for getting rid of him. Opinion polls are snapshots of opinions. Local election results are always an opportunity to register a protest. Labour has a job to do, we’re not even two years in yet, things are tough - a leadership challenge would be self indulgent and illogical - in my view.

@bphillipsonMP We want £450 in our pockets to be able to afford the breakfasts of our choice because of better wages and lower cost of living. We don’t want to depend on the state for our breakfast!
English
Enjoyed Kemi’s quip about free breakfast clubs being a defining legacy of this Labour government.
When the Tories deride breakfast clubs, it shows how out of touch they still are.
A £450 saving is a lot for working families. Easing the morning rush makes a big difference.
The Labour Party@UKLabour
Our Labour government has started rolling out free breakfast clubs to every primary school in England. Here is Michela's story 👇
English
@PhilMyers53 @Keir_Starmer It’s largely because of his track record. He got given a once in a generation chance for Labour and blew it. He couldn’t put aside his petty ideology for a second and immediately launched a campaign of class war bullshit.
English
No one NO ONE is asking one very simple question.
Why is @Keir_Starmer so unpopular?
Whatever your answer is it can’t be based on his track record. YES some mistakes were made. But look at his achievements.
We ALL know it’s the right wing campaign that’s been running
