@AngelaRayner Too busy giving taxpayers money out of the country and rewarding people on benefits.

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2

BREAKING: West Brom have been handed a two-point penalty effective immediately for a breach of EFL financial rules 🚨

X marks the spot! Why don't the public in Northern Ireland get a say on what's being sprayed on us?

@RachelReevesMP 🤣🤣🤣

This is not our war, but it is now pushing up bills for families and businesses. That’s why keeping costs down is my number one priority – and our economic plan has put us in a stronger position to face this crisis.

@GMB @Tesco giving this man a job would be genius

A Morrisons store manager says his life has been completely 'devastated' after he was sacked for confronting a repeated shoplifter.  Sean Egan - who had worked in the Aldridge Morrisons in the West Midlands for 29 years - was escorting the shoplifter out of the store when the thief turned aggressive.

Big Sam for PM until the end of season

@LewisCapaldi what do ya think of my new domain name? anitajobby.com Thinking of building a toilet directory, might come in handy

I'm thinking or making a toilet directory with my domain name I bought for a laugh. Any thoughts? anitajobby.com

What’s happened at Leicester is sad - and wrong. They’ve been relegated after a six-point deduction for financial irregularities whilst City are about to win another title with 135 charges unanswered 3 years later. How can this be?

@Matt_Pinner Lada

If Margaret Thatcher was a Rolls Royce what is Starmer?

@nicksortor Who voted this man in 🤣🤣

Absolutely INCREDIBLE 🤣 AFTER President Trump announced Iran agreed to RE-OPEN the Strait of Hormuz… … UK PM Keir Starmer announced the UK and France are “leading” a “MILITARY MISSION” to re-open the Strait of Hormuz These people are WORTHLESS 😂🤡 Time to leave NATO!

@AndyCakeBaker 🤣

@weekerwaffles Deserves more interaction Weeker

It's Thursday, are we going to clap for petrol station workers in the UK

@rtenews Here we go again 🙄

Medical experts have called for a full national vaccination programme for adults, similar to what is available for children and for the shingles vaccine to be made free for older people rte.ie/news/health/20…

@elonmusk Never took any and I'm still here

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

@Mick_O_Keeffe Get the slurry tankers out

🚨🇮🇪 Terrible scenes at the Whitegate oil refinery right now. Farmers and truckers have been penned in like cattle while the Irish army has arrived on scene to remove their vehicles. This is a sad day for Ireland.

@paulfrewDUP I took our youngest there a few weeks back, and I taught him how to almost break your back, elbows and ribs. Note to self, I'm too old for a skatepark!

As a tribute to Cllr Beth Adger,who was Mayor of Mid and East Antrim when she passed,I brought Emma Little Pengelly deputy first Minister to see the skateboard park that Beth fought so hard to achieve. Beth worked for years to fulfil this dream for the young people of Ballymena.

@Keir_Starmer Hardly offensive.

Offensive and wrong. Britain is a proud, tolerant and diverse country. Jim Ratcliffe should apologise. news.sky.com/story/the-uk-h…

I think the @ManUtd players shouldn't get their hair cut until they win 5 in a row 🤣
