.@UKLabour I would STRONGLY suggest that you remove this post immediately as your statement of myself ‘assaulting’ a female officer is highly misleading and completely false as I’ve never laid a finger on a woman let alone a female Police officer! However doesn’t Labour allow for female police officers to have their noses broken nowadays??? #Manchester #Labourout

Ant Middleton was convicted in 2013 of common assault on a female police officer, contrary to his denial. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_Middl… dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…

The speeding penalties imposed by the Stewards were wrong and should never have been imposed
However, simply awarding Pierre Gasly P3 is the wrong decision
What about the other four drivers who were impacted?
George Russell would've finished P3 if he hadn't been penalised

This is the problem with journalism
The Spectator runs an attempted hit piece on the Green's with a sensational claim but omits key details
No salaries listed in the article - No comparison with other political parties - No link to the report so readers can view it themselves

They let them in. Then call you racist for complaining. They will now debate our right to express anger and pontificate about the legitimacy of the public’s reaction. And the House will be “united” in condemnation, not of the failure. Of us.

Angela Rayner hosting a barbecue isn’t news
May 22
Last summer, Angela Rayner was hosting a barbecue in her garden.

Ask yourself why Reform is claiming to help workers who work overtime
It’s because their anti-immigration policies will result in a labour shortage
You will have to work overtime to fill the gaps
This isn’t a policy to help you. It’s to help Reform and their corporate backers

Reform’s candidate for the Makerfield by-election

Makerfield was Andy Burnham’s back up plan.
For Robert Kenyon, it’s his home.

Nadine, have you forgotten that you wrote this bill?
The Online Safety Act should be repealed.
The principle at its core, to protect children and young people has been abused and used for political advantage.

Andy Burnham was born near Makerfield, went to school near Makerfield, sent his children to school near Makerfield & lives near Makerfield
On the other hand, Reform's leader Nigel Farage is a carpetbagger who has stood for election in 7 different constituencies
May 18
Andy Burnham will stand anywhere to get a seat.
This expensive by-election is all about his own personal ambition.
