Congratulations to my old UNISON buddy @WendyNi07471674 Nichols on her appointment as an @UKLabour peer.
Of course we need a more democratic second chamber, but while we have the system we have it is good to see a hard working working class trade unionist there as a working peer

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is blaming the Vauxhall job losses on the electric vehicle mandate introduced by Tory business secretary Kemi Badenoch. I wonder if the two of them are related?

Just when @UKLabour thought the 2 1/2 Tories on @MyWakefield Council couldn’t split any further #Ossett Cllr Nick Farmer told Council today he was glad the Tory Govt had gone and that he’d been ashamed of much of what they did.
@WFDLabourGroup wondering if he’ll be thrown out?

Had these race riots happened during the last few years of the Conservative government Britain would have been a far more dangerous place for people of colour.
As a @conservative my first commitment is to my country and I’m relieved a sane squad are in charge during these troubled times.

People are in the hotel.
This is arson with intent. A life sentence offence.

Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right
Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then

When a bunch of grinning arseholes rock up blind pissed and coked up to a grief-stricken community just to have a punch-up and torch a Mosque, I’m not sure it’s even technically POSSIBLE to “smear” them, Isabel. They’re the literal lowest of the actual low. They’re BENEATH scum.

The country is erupting. Why? Because nobody voted for mass immigration and the Establishment keeps trying to smear, label, and shut down legitimate debate. Oh yes, and law and order has collapsed because we go soft on everything 🤷♀️

Looking to see if we can beat Yorkshire’s 12th place in the medals table in 2012 🙂

Of course Yorkshire is already on the Olympics medal table on day one. Of course. Well done Yasmin from everyone at the Yorkshire Post! 🥉

Always moved when I see these - realise how widespread the Holocaust was.

Congratulations to @JudithCummins on her election as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.
I recall her updates to @unisontheunion @unisonyh Regional Labour Link meetings - she has always been a good friend to the union 🌹

Really pleased this carving from #Wakefield will stay in the UK. Maybe @MyWakefield or the Cathedral could arrange for it to be shown here @M_Collins89?
