The Whip Line

UK poverty is rising — 13.4 million people now affected. Labour promised “change” but delayed action and weak policy are leaving millions behind. #UKPolitics #Poverty #Labour #CostOfLiving #TheWhipLine thewhipline.substack.com/p/poverty-in-t…

Keir Starmer says the NHS is “free” - but what does that mean if you can’t get treated in time? #NHS #PMQs #HealthCrisis #UKPolitics #TheWhipLine #PoliticsLive thewhipline.substack.com/p/starmer-says…

@ImtiazMadmood So Rupert Lowe could be rejoining the party he left last year? That's a U-turn, sure - but a significant political shift? Not on your nelly!

Rumours are growing that Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage could be preparing to join forces. If true, this would mark one of the most significant political shifts in recent years. A united front, a stronger voice.

@Brunte84 Did you say that when the Tories were wasting money on the same thing?

Keir Starmer's now on his 39th foreign adventure, splashing £4.2 million of your hard-earned cash in less than two years 💷 Because nothing says 'fixing Britain' quite like jetting off every other week while the country picks up the tab ✈️

@robprogressive Did you ask that question when the Tories were wasting money on the same thing?

Kier Starmer’s 39 trips abroad have cost £4.2m of taxpayer money That works out to £108,000 per flight Is this a good use of taxpayer money? Just checking

The Lords want an immediate under-16 social media ban. But the UK government is already testing whether it would even work. Are critics jumping the gun? #SocialMediaBan #UKPolitics #OnlineSafety #TechAccountability #PoliticsLive #Meta #YouTube thewhipline.substack.com/p/lords-push-f…

From burnt ambulances to missile attacks and election lies, disinformation is eroding trust and putting lives at risk globally. #Disinformation #FakeNews #PublicSafety #FactCheck #PMQs #TheWhipLine #PoliticsLive thewhipline.substack.com/p/how-they-und…

MPs say the Environment Agency is too weak to stop an “out-of-control” dumping crisis. Years of political choices have hollowed out regulation. #EnvironmentAgency #FlyTipping #UKPolitics #SewageScandal thewhipline.substack.com/p/de-fanging-o…

The Covid Inquiry has revealed just how close the NHS in the UK came to collapse during the pandemic. Now it's possible to name those responsible. #CovidInquiry #UKPolitics #BorisJohnson #MattHancock #PublicHealth #Accountability youtu.be/x19mnFOAaEQ

Starmer hasn’t sent troops—but he’s opened UK bases for US strikes after Iran’s move on Diego Garcia. Restraint… or a war to keep oil prices down? #Starmer #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #UKPolitics #CostOfLiving thewhipline.substack.com/p/keir-starmer…

Campaigners now say Shabana Mahmood is blocking the Hillsborough Law. If true, this isn’t delay — it’s a political choice. #HillsboroughLaw #DutyOfCandour #JusticeForThe97 #TheWhipLine thewhipline.substack.com/p/is-shabana-m…

No, the torched Hatzola ambulances weren’t “already out of use”. This is misinformation—and an attempt to downplay a serious attack. Here are the facts. #London #Antisemitism #Misinformation #HateCrime #UKPolitics thewhipline.substack.com/p/after-the-ar…

@MelJStride @Conservatives You would choke us on filth for the sake of a farthing.

A future @Conservatives government will drill the North Sea. Put Britain first 🇬🇧

Tribunal orders DWP to release report on claimant errors harming disabled people. But how can we make such disclosures mandatory? #DWP #DisabilityRights #Transparency #TheWhipLine #PoliticsLive thewhipline.substack.com/p/dwp-is-order…

Starmer promised a Hillsborough Law by April 2025. It’s now delayed again. When accountability is symbolic, it’s supported. When it becomes real, it’s blocked. #HillsboroughLaw #DutyOfCandour #JusticeForThe97 #TheWhipLine #PoliticsLive thewhipline.substack.com/p/hillsborough…

RP: The Covid Inquiry shows the NHS was pushed to the brink. Let's name the politicians responsible—and link their decisions to the damage. #CovidInquiry #NHS #UKPolitics #Austerity #TheWhipLine thewhipline.substack.com/p/named-politi…

Farage suspends Cameo account after backlash over videos, including his controversial “foreign speakers” remark about Welsh guests. #Farage #Wales #Cameo #UKPolitics #ReformUK #TheWhipLine thewhipline.substack.com/p/guilty-consc…

@piersmorgan The launch at Diego Garcia was not successful and does not prove an operational ability to hit London or any other European capital accurately.

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

@sophielouisecc Back to reality, Sophie! Iran does not currently have a verified ballistic missile capability to strike the United Kingdom mainland under normal operational conditions.

The UK has no defence at all from Iranian ballistic missiles Yet despite this (and a very real possibility of an Iranian attack) Our govt decided to give more of our money to Ukraine. It’s scandalous

@ClaireCoutinho Consumers would pay international rates for every drop - an enormous windfall for greedy petrochemical corporation bosses at the expense of the rest of us. No. Miliband's answer is right - get rid of the fossil fuels so we pay less. But you knew that before you posted - right?

The Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea could be up and running in just a few months. Enough gas to heat 1.6 million homes. Every single drop will go into our pipes. Ed Miliband is blocking it. Madness.
