Probably the last time Lee Anderson said anything remotely sensible.

Don’t understand the constitution. Don’t understand standing orders. Don’t understand an amendment. Coming to a council chamber near you 🫵 #Reform

After 18 months of “standing up to Putin” the Labour govt quietly issued a licence allowing imports of Russian oil refined in third countries. Yesterday Labour MPs voted AGAINST UK oil and gas licences. We are now importing from Russia instead of drilling in the North Sea. Insane.

God help Sandwell. Let the infighting begin 🤯

Is it just me but suddenly everything feels …. normal ? No more psycho dramas and scandals. Like the grown ups are back in Govt & people can get on with their lives watching politics out the corner of their eyes. Safe

Knowing some of the Reform lot in Sandwell, this is 100% accurate.

Some great Labour and Conservative councillors lost their seats today in Sandwell off the back of a national “stop the boats” mantra. Good luck to Reform and all newly elected councillors. All eyes are on you now and the empty promises you’ve made. We’re watching 👀

Christ. The leader has gone by nearly 900 votes

Polls open in about 50 minutes - and we're just starting to get the results from Tower Hamlets #election

Easy to do that when you do fuck all in parliament 👍

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

Throwback Tuesday 💙

Do you have nearly £1,000 lying around? That’s how much extra Rachel Reeves is taking off you as of this month.

Christ, he was up to the knuckle at one point 🤢😱

The arrogance of Kim Leadbeater is absolutely astonishing. Saying that a thousand-year-old legislative chamber is finished because it rejected a terrible piece of legislation proposed by someone who has been a Member for Parliament for five years. Embarrassingly narcissistic.
