Lucy Powell has just been caught out by her own social media history.
Today, she defended Labour's decision to arrange Ed Miliband's 2015 interview with Russell Brand, claiming it wasn't the “social media age” back then.
Unfortunately for Powell, it's been discovered she was tweeting about Russell Brand in 2013.
So she was using social media to discuss Russell Brand two years before Labour supposedly couldn't use it to check him out?
Luckily, in 2026, it's very much a social media age, and we can see these Labour MPs lying to the public in real time.

Labour’s Lucy Powell, trying to explain why she was complicit on Ed Miliband interview with Brand in 2015, says a)it was before social media; and b) there was no easy way of checking on people in these days.
Which is strange since a) she’d been on social media since 2009 and by 2015 it was in full swing; and b) Google has been available since 2000.
Other than that her explanation is entirely credible.

Oh dear. Lucy Powell was not at all happy on GMB. She was questioned by Ed Balls & Susanna Reid about her role in setting up the now 'highly regrettable' interview between Ed Miliband & Russell Brand & had to blow her little trumpet to get a word in! #parody

I read this open mouthed.
Are You happy for energy companies to be able to access your finances and charge you more to help someone less well off?!?
🚨Labour’s Bill Would Let Energy Firms Dig Into Your Tax Records and House Value So They Can Charge You Extra to Subsidise Others
Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh introduced the Energy Independence Bill last week that would hand energy companies access to eight government databases, including your HMRC tax and income records, child benefit, property value and pensions.
This is a major expansion beyond the limited fuel-poverty data they already get. Official assessments openly plan “progressivity”: discounts for some households paid for by extra levies on those judged better off.
Nothing happens until the bill passes and ministers create a scheme through further legislation.
Her department calls it targeting support. The unmistakable purpose is giving private firms the power to inspect your private finances and raise your bill to subsidise everyone else.
This is not support. It is a deliberate decision to treat your private tax records and property value as legitimate tools for deciding who gets charged more, then hand that power to private energy companies.
Once the machinery exists, Labour will expand it. The only real question is how far they intend to go.

Some rapists are treated more leniently than others.
Why would that be?
Hamoud Al-Soaimi was found guilty of 3 counts of sexual assault, including sex with a 12-year-old girl.
He received 180 hours of community service. No jail.
In Newcastle, two vulnerable girls were groomed, passed around, and repeatedly raped.
Hamoud Al-Soaimi was convicted of three counts of sexual assault and one count of assault by penetration. But when he stood up to be sentenced on 1 March 2024, he did not go to prison.
He was given two years, suspended for two years, and 180 hours of unpaid work. He walked out of court a free man.
The media barely reported his sentence. The BBC, who had once made a sympathetic documentary about the Badreddin family as Syrian refugees, went quiet.
The politicians who scream about protecting children said nothing. No outrage from Labour. No outrage from the Home Office. No emergency debate in Parliament.
When people tried to get the sentence increased as unduly lenient, the bid failed. The system closed ranks and decided that 180 hours of sweeping streets was justice for a child rape gang victim.
A white British veteran, Adam Smith-Connor, prayed silently outside an abortion clinic and got a conviction, a criminal record, and thousands in costs.
A white British man posted an angry Facebook post after Southport and got 2 to 3 years in immediate custody.
Hamoud Al-Soaimi sexually assaulted children in a grooming gang and got a suspended sentence and 180 hours.
That is not justice. That is a two-tier system. That is politicians and judges protecting the narrative of multiculturalism instead of protecting British girls.

Russell Brand has just been given over ten years in prison. Can anyone tell me which court and on what date, the hundreds of Pakistani men who raped thousands of children over many years will be appearing?

Her delusion
Is destroying our economy.
As #COP31 begins, my message is clear: no country can tackle the climate crisis alone.
Britain will work with countries around the world to tackle the climate crisis, while leading a transition at home that brings down bills, creates jobs and protects our communities.

Oh, it’s the UK’s Energy and Net Zero Secretary….

Burnham's government is spending your money in court to stop you finding out what foreign criminals have done in this country.
The data watchdog said publish. Twice.
Labour said no.
Half of Britain thinks it's a cover-up. Hard to argue with them, isn't it?
