When Theresa May insisted on setting aside Sunday mornings to attend church as Prime Minister, not a single news outlet, or Conservative MP, batted an eyelid, but when Keir Starmer says the same about Shabbat dinner with his family then it gets wall-to-wall coverage.

The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella; But chiefly on the just, because The unjust hath the just’s umbrella. This looks like poetic justice, at last.

FOUND - a Tory with a sense of morality Former Tory MP Nick Boles letter to The Times slamming the rank hypocrisy of Ashcroft (non dom billionaire) and Sunak (formerly non dom super rich wife avoiding taxes until discovered) haranguing Angela Rayner. He sees it as we see it 👀

Hey Police & Suella Braverman, there is a criminal with stolen property here 👇 If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

Today’s Home Office so-called “impact assessment” shows Tories are totally clueless on both impact & costs of their Immigration Bill Doesn’t even attempt to assess impact, costs or whether anything is likely to work. Never seen a more hopeless Government document

I’ve written a novel based around a series of fictional encounters between Nick Drake & Syd Barrett in 1974. It is the most accomplished and imaginative thing I’ve ever written. Is there a publisher out there who will look at unagented submissions? For chapters and blurb DM me.

Collectively, this is why todays announcement by Steve Barclay is so damaging for people affected by cancer. The government needs to honour their commitment and deliver the 10 year plan. This simply isn’t good enough for cancer patients and their families. 🧵7/7

This is horrific. And that there is so little attention or focus by government shows just how inhumane they have become.
Powerful intervention by Peter Kyle on asylum seeker children going missing "If 1 child went missing, who was related to one of us, the world would stop, but in my community a child has gone missing, then 5, then 12, then 50 & currently 76 are missing & nothing is happening.. "
