I will leave you with our dimwitted Deputy PM David Lammy on the Labour leadership contest.
He has never been the most observant has he? 🤣🤣🤡🤦♂️
Night all.🫡

@DailyMail Hopefully the day will fast arrive when a sentence beginning “Any Burnham says” will have no relevance.

Andy Burnham said that men who identify as women should be able to use female toilets - and only a 'small minority' object, he claimed trib.al/jpIwYhB

@EYakoby Islam out of control. It’s happened in the past in Europe. It needs stamping out and returned to its archaic Arab countries.

@FennellJW Here we go, the Left starts its smear campaign in the absence of any valid policies the electorate might be encouraged to vote for.

Looks like the Reform candidate who only registered his company as a plumber in February has a long history of far-right activism with BNP and Britain First and the New British Legion, successor to Moseley's BUF.
Reform Watch@theReformwatch
Robert Kenyon is friends with Gary Raikes on Facebook. Raikes, a former BNP and Britain First member, leads the New British Union – the modern successor to Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists. This is who represents Reform in Makerfield.

PANDEMONIUM broke out in Tower Hamlets as Pakistani and Bangla factions of the Awami League clashed at a town hall meeting.
This aired live on BANGLADESHI TV and one of their new MPs was in attendance.
This is democracy in modern London.

@SandyofSuffolk They must be desperate for a face to front this nonsense.

@Iromg I wonder what happened to those civil servants who did the initial calculations on the costs? Probably very nicely retired on 100% non-contributory pension by now.

Quite right too…
TaxPayers' Alliance@the_tpa
HS2 could now cost more than £100bn and not open until 2039. We warned years ago that this project would become a grotesque white elephant plagued by spiralling costs and endless delays. Then we were laughed at. Well, we told you so. @yarwoodwilliam explains.

@BareLeft I don’t have a common language between them, how can they engage?

Pictured: Labour engaging in dialogue with other parties
Dean@ideanoc17
the problem with the far left especially the greens is that they fail to engage in dialogue with other parties with simple disagreements. the greens need to get a grip and engage in bipartisanship and democracy rather than being complete bitches about everything

@CutMyTaxUK As you say, a rudimentary level of economic prowess, which not one of the members of this current Government in power have.
English
The youth unemployment rate has hit 16.2%, the highest level since 2015.
It's no great surprise to anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of economics that if you price young people out of the market by hiking the taxes on them and forcing up the minimum wage, then youth unemployment will inevitably result.
It's just rather sad that Rachel Reeves doesn't appear to have a rudimentary understanding of economics.
English
@normanelliottuk No, the unions will just carry on funding them, it guarantees their members will get a spunking great big annual rise.
English
Unemployment has risen to 5%. Nearly 2 million people. As the TUC used to say, it’s 2 million reasons to remove the Government. But they don’t say that now.

“What is a woman?” Is definitely NOT up for debate when you’re looking at cervical cancer.

Stuart Andrew@StuartAndrew
The Health Secretary is responsible for women’s healthcare, maternity services, breast cancer screening, female hospital wards and single-sex spaces for patients and staff. These are serious issues that shape care and safeguarding across the NHS. He should be able to define a woman without implying it is up for debate.

@MrJerryP01 I reckon somebody has already given that one a smack in the head years ago. Maybe it was a forceps birth.

@Bobstroudsnr Well, who would’ve guessed that economics from the socialist handbook wouldn’t work? They’ve only been tried a dozen times before.
English
Rachel Reeves has tried to tax her way to growth and it’s done the opposite. My concern is that if Andy Burnham gets in he will try to dig deeper into the hole by raising taxes even more.

@mehdirhasan If you’re trying to get him cancelled and affect his income, I’d say you’re about 50 years too late. I think the man is voicing a valid opinion, on everything I’ve seen from him so far.

Difficult to overstate what a disgustingly deranged and bigoted individual Cleese has become, tweeting this bile and these lies the day after an attack on a mosque.
Not sure I can ever watch Monty Python again in the same way.

Nice to see Starmer's concern for so many of his voters One way to reduce Muslim worries about safety would be for them to stop laying emphasis on taking over other people's countries, with all the killing of infidels that this would apparently entail This looks like aggression to non-Muslim people of an anxious disposition Goodness knows why

@Normanjam67 Maybe if governments hadn’t frightened all the billionaires away to Monaco, they might be paying money into the system to help those kids. You can only squeeze someone by the bollocks so much before they start to object.

Since Neoliberalism became our economic model in 1979.
Child poverty has increased from 20% to 31%.
But don't worry, we've got hundreds of new billionaires. 🙃

So the VAT raid on private schools has proved and absolute failure with politicians messing up their predictions and costing the taxpayer millions
But no one will be sacked and the policy will not be reversed
Why is there no accountability?
Alan Smith@AlanJLSmith
The government forecast private school numbers would drop 6% after VAT was added to fees. Now, the data from Scotland shows secondary schools registrations have fallen 15% - numbers from the rest of the UK will be similar. Far from raising money, the policy looks like it will cost the taxpayer millions. Meantime in Europe, parents get a tax break for using private schools - as they’re saving the state the cost of funding. Another poorly thought through policy.
English
@markstretch If they didn’t tax the parents so much, both at source and through other means, they would feed their own kids and look after them the way they wish to. Too much interference into peoples lives. Starmer said ‘I’m going to tread lightly over your lives’ … Bullshit.

Breakfast. It’s all they’ve got. Nearly 2 years in office. Trashed the economy - but taxpayer-funded breakfast clubs. That’s it.

This is a reminder of what politics is really about. A Labour government delivering for working people and making sure all of our children get the best start in life.

@EssexPR I was under the impression he had to give it up before he went for the by election, am I wrong?

I wonder if Burnham would still go for this seat if he had to resign as Mayor first ?…

@LGB_1962 At least Peter Kyle is reading something in his ministerial car, David Lammy would be chowing down on a tray of Ginsters.
English
This is a lie.
The IMF downgraded Britain's growth from 1.3% to 0.8% and recently readjusted it to 1%.
1% annual growth is not 'strong' by anyone's meterics. Peder Kyle.
Peter Kyle@peterkyle
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.
