I am proud that the #LabourManifesto includes measures to support our world-class arts and culture sectors. With Labour, arts and music will no longer be the preserve of the privileged few. Here's a thread of some of those measures 👇 1/7

Here is why this is SUCH a disaster for Sunak. He & his team see the over 50's as "OLD" They think we are weak people, comfortable with our gains & selfish - like them. But that is NOT how we see ourselves. If you are over 50, your life will have had many aspects. 1/

Took the lady I volunteer for shopping yesterday; she is in her 90s and doesn't have a Tesco clubcard. Her bill came to £99; when I dug out my clubcard and added it to her shopping it reduced the bill to £49. Something about this just doesn't seem right.

“There’s no enthusiasm for Labour”, we keep being told. Mysteriously, however, thousands and thousands of people keep voting for them, helping them win in places they never have before. It’s almost like there is in fact some enthusiasm for them.

Labour will bring back respect for teaching, and tackle the recruitment and retention crisis in our schools head-on so every child has an excellent teacher. We’ll pay for it by ending the tax breaks private schools enjoy. Excellence must be for everyone. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

We all knew it would be!!!

Charging the sick for being sick. Mark my words: this will be end of the NHS if the Tories have their way. [Thread]

Name one profession other than the NHS that charges its employees to park in the car park at work. Bloody ridiculous. Get rid of that alone and it would equate to a pay rise of around 3-5% for an average nurse

As the talk of NHS privatisation becomes normalised… Have you ever considered that it isn’t theirs to sell? It’s all of ours We’ve been paying for it this whole time Our taxes have gone up Their funding of it has gone down And now they’ve broken it, they want to sell it.

The people who dismissed the risks of Truss's fiscal policy causing a market meltdown were largely the same people who dismissed the economic risks of a No Deal Brexit. Not a coincidence.

@davidwaters79 @frankcottrell_b Wow I love that

@frankcottrell_b I have treasured this quote from an article you wrote reflecting on the whole experience. I have referenced it so often as the goal for creative collaboration 🙌

This time ten years ago I was heading back to the Olympic stadium reading a letter in the Metro saying that the Olympic Opening Ceremony was going to make us a laughing stock. "Glad it's happening in London, signed Paul, Leeds."

@MatthewStadlen Yes

Do you think Keir Starmer will make a good Prime Minister?

Women, remember this man's name - Danny Kruger. He doesn't believe women should have an absolute right to bodily autonomy. He would prefer politicians make these decisions for you. He wants it "debated." This is how it started in the States.

@JakeRudh Villiers Terrace - but so many quality choices on here

If you had to narrow it down to one, what’s your favorite song by Echo and the Bunnymen?
