@ToryWipeout @TheWhynot99 @JackieMayes5 You need to learn to read graphs.

@TheWhynot99 @JackieMayes5 Yes?

Rachel's pretty good at this, imagine putting an economist in charge of the economy.

@MichelleWelshMP @jamesmurray_ldn It's time you changed your profile pic Michelle, that must have been taken 20 years ago.

Together we are clear that change must happen — and that it will. I was humbled and honoured to meet with @jamesmurray_ldn the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care as the country’s first National Maternity Advisor. It is about accountability. It is about safer staffing. It is about listening to families. And it is about building a maternity system where good professionals are supported to be great professionals — and where speaking up is encouraged, not feared. The voices of families who have suffered harm must never be ignored again. We move forward with determination and hope.

@unisontheunion Fascinated to know how you fit air conditioners on a building site?

🌡️🔥 Being too hot at work risks staff health and productivity. UNISON says legal maximum workplace temperatures and investment to adapt to climate change are long overdue. Read more ⬇️ unsn.uk/4nBn4Va

@DrRosena That's like a mass murderer congratulating themselves for killing less people than usual. And we are supposed to believe Doctors are intelligent?

Inflation is falling. 📉 With the energy price cap dropping by £117, inflation is now lower. There’s more to do but Labour is moving us in the right direction.

@uk_decoded @Telegraph You're just repeating yourself. And it's all stuff someone else is being taxed to pay for. As for the ECHR's 😂 that's just made up.

These benefits have made changes for the good of people lives, making mental health services more accessible, after school clubs, free child care, renters and employment rights and NOT forgetting the UK led changes to the ECHR to make deporting illegals and failed asylum applications faster and easier, also gaining more returns agreements, plugin solar to allow more people to offset some of their electricity usage, you are saying that these are not benefits to the citizens of the UK? Yes the current government has a long way to go and they should bin Digital id, the online safety act and redirect funding to public services and they should replace the Marginal pricing system that the Tories decided they would not do, this alone could reduce the electricity bills as marginal pricing and policy taxes are currently 50-55% of household's and businesses electricity bills. These are not grasping at straws, they effect everyone in a beneficial way.

🔴 Nigel Farage has said that Reform-run councils could stop housing migrants who arrive in Britain under government resettlement schemes. The Reform leader said his party would “look very hard at leaving” the programmes, which provided accommodation for thousands of asylum seekers. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@CFCFordstam @ChelsTransfer Let's see what his legacy looks like when City finally gets taken to the cleaners over their cheating.

@Steve_Pearman @ChelsTransfer Not hard when your manager is guardiola 🤦‍♂️

Chelsea have watched events around Guardiola’s future unfold with interest. They view Maresca’s resignation as the reason for their disappointing second half of the season. The club’s BlueCo ownership had no desire to make a mid-season change. It later emerged he had informed Chelsea that he had TWICE held talks with people associated with City about replacing Guardiola at the end of the season. (Guardian)

@BBCPolitics This is as absurd as Granny Harriet describing herself as "Talent"

Keir Starmer is "not Superman, we're not going to get Superman, we're going to get a person" Labour MP Dame Emily Thornberry tells #PoliticsLive it's "impossible" to be UK PM, adding "you cannot have someone who's perfect, and also someone who's human" bbc.in/4eY7l0i

@LynneJones68437 @BBCPolitics So does a plank of wood.

@BBCPolitics Love Emily, she has more sense than the whole govt combined

@tonguei66408226 @ramonagusta @LukeTryl Will you repay the money paid in before Blair stole it?

@ramonagusta @LukeTryl The Triple Lock, guaranteeing income for no other than millions of people share the same age group, seems pretty socialist to me, would you remove it?

New hypothetical polling with Burnham as leader turns a 7 point lead for Reform UK into a 3 point lead for Labour. Obviously hypotheticals are just that and things change when they become reality (see Your Party), but the size of the shift is striking.

@ourfoxsopwrfl @alfie_beachlife @LukeTryl @DPJHodges This is all based on him not doing stupid Fabian things, that they cannot help themselves but do over and over again. Granted he will be able to blame 2teirnonce as well as the Tories, Brexit, the wars and weather for their continued failures.

@alfie_beachlife @LukeTryl @DPJHodges Reform doesn't lose many voters per se but turnout increases from non voters going to Labour which means Reform's vote share goes down.

@poker_biker @CJCHowarth @EdwardJDavey 80% is more than a proportion.

@CJCHowarth @EdwardJDavey Not to mention paying a proportion of the import duty to the EU.

I’ve written to the Prime Minister urging him to give Labour MPs a free vote on our amendment to the King’s Speech. A UK-EU Customs Union is a vital first step in rebuilding our relationship with Europe. MPs must be free to vote for what is best for our economy and our country.

@uk_decoded @Telegraph Sorry for the belated reply, I would contest you are grasping at straws if you genuinely believe these are benefits. Even the trade deals were started by the Tories and typically underwhelming when Starmer bent over as he does with the EU continually.

here are but a few of the long list: 1. Treatment made available for people with treatment resistant HIV. 2. First ever men's mental health initiative. 3. 60+ envoys sent out to gain trade relations world wide, basically start the post Brexit work that should have been done. 4. Tri lateral agreements with Germany, France and the UK, shared intelligence that saw more arrests of people smugglers than years before. 5. Supporting our veterans, getting them off the streets, volar centres etc. 6. 3 SMR reactors on order to power 3 million homes. 7. started the process of changing from the Marginal Pricing system that is 40% of households and businesses energy bills. 8. Making mental heath more accessible with more staffing etc. 8. 4 Free Trade agreements and many others been negotiated. 9. Education reforms, renters right and employers rights. 10. Opening more straining spaces for specialist positions such as GP's, surgeons etc. 11. Rebuilding the public services (that is why borrowing has risen as it is how the public services are funded). 12. New policy to fund and make sure councils are doing road repairs. There are many more beneficial policies that have been introduced but not seen or have seen little coverage by the media, they prefer to chase clicks and views for their funding pipelines.

@Yorkylad46 @DarrenRJones Has he woken up?

@DarrenRJones If Biden said it, it wouldnt be an issue

If Trump said that in order for UK to have greater access to the US market we would have to hand over £billions and then align to US rules, including lower animal welfare standards, the media would go ape shit. But it’s fine to do so with the 40% smaller EU. Make it make sense.

@Goto_paulcastle @peterkyle Another that bangs on about the Tories, ignoring it was Labour that bust the country. Fast forward 14 years and it's Labour again making everything worse.

What Peter Kyle highlights here matters politically. While Westminster has been consumed by leadership speculation and internal manoeuvring, the government is quietly beginning to produce signs of economic progress — stronger growth figures, rising international confidence and now an upgraded IMF forecast. That does not happen by accident.
It comes from stability, discipline and serious government. Keir Starmer’s leadership has often been underestimated because it is quieter and more methodical than modern politics usually rewards. But governing a country is not performance politics. It is about restoring credibility, rebuilding confidence and creating the conditions for long-term growth. At a time of global instability, Britain needs focus and delivery more than another round of political psychodrama. And the serious question Labour members and voters should ask themselves is this: Are we really prepared to risk that stability for ambitious great pretenders whose politics seem shaped more by personal positioning than consistent leadership? Britain needs substance right now, not another Westminster performance. #KeirStarmer #Labour #UKPolitics #Leadership

None of this happened by accident. Strong growth figures show that this government has the right economic plan. And now, the IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast. This growth is driven by an activist, interventionist government that believes in backing British business.

@Peston @ONS Seriously Robert, you are supposed to understand these basic things, the ONS uses a modelling system to maintain a level of consistency and has always revised its figures and even states it will on each report. How do you not know this?

As Krugman said, productivity may not be everything - in determining our prosperity and prospects - but in the long run it is almost everything. So the @ONS should be embarrassed by the flash productivity estimates it put out today (see attached) because one set says it is still flat lining and the other says it is reviving significantly. How anyone in the Treasury and Bank of England is supposed to set policy when the data is so poor is beyond me!

@Newspace14 @robvanhoff @PocketAcesFPL @BladeoftheS Well you are wrong then. What hinders the UK is entitlement at the expense of others.

@robvanhoff @PocketAcesFPL @BladeoftheS I think the growth of the wealth divide hampers economies, this is proven and pretty obvious in reality. Using social media to raise opinion? Well it’s an open platform

Poverty is caused by billionaires in the UK the minimum wage would have to be about £30 an hour for you to be as well off in 2026 as you were in 1970. All that is being stolen by the bilionaires.

@Darcey_ben @thisisyourparty Because the majority of people expect to finance their decisions by working and being responsible, rather than being the victim and pushing envy politics.

@thisisyourparty That’s the point many critics keep making: economic inequality and concentration of wealth rarely dominate the conversation, while public anger gets redirected elsewhere. The question of who holds power and wealth matters too.

56 billionaires own more than 27 million Britons combined. Nigel Farage spent the year telling you the problem was your neighbour. The great dividers never point upward. Keeping it that way is the plan.

@bphillipsonMP That's right Bridget, we paid for our children, why do you support irresponsible parents?

With Reform UK, it's always about 'looking after our own' until it comes to feeding children. Labour is providing over 6,400 children across Kent County Council with free breakfast clubs. Reform UK literally want to take the food from their mouths. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
