Prestige alone won't put food on the table or pay the bills of essential workers who play critical roles across the @Cambridge_Uni. It's time for fair compensation and respect for their dedication.

I’ve been barred from standing as North East Mayor by @UKLabour. No explanation has been given.
I’m proud to have created thousands of jobs, fought child poverty, built affordable homes and delivered our Green New Deal. I believe in democracy. Share if you do too. More to follow.

It's time to remove the profiteering and clean up our waterways.
Bring water back into public ownership now.
💩Private water companies have been dumping sewage and letting infrastructure crumble for over 30 years.

I've never met a worker who relishes going out on strike. They lose pay, and it scares people to do so. They do it in an act of desperation when just they can't make ends meet.
The government need to pay struggling workers what they deserve.

So pleased our front bench is ‘looking very, very closely’ at ID cards. They'll undoubtedly see what an utter, dystopian, disaster they are. Because you could never imagine a future Tory Home Sec denying people access to basic public services for protesting or striking could you?

During the pandemic, staggering £9 billion was spent on PPE that was written off, £2.6 billion on items not even suitable for NHS and countless contracts just happened to go to firms linked to Tory donors!
Unforgivable wastage and corruption …all at the expense of the taxpayer!

Ex Peterborough MP, Stewart Jackson, who used his parliamentary pass more times than any other ex MP in 2018-19 to access ex colleagues for his company can now lobby with impunity after being made a Lord.
Such is the totally corrupt system we live in- see

No surprise at all to see that Peterborough's MP is a member of the hard right, Free Market Forum.

I have finally written my first novel!
I put a lot of myself into those pages, so putting them out there into the world is both exciting and terrifying.
I hope you like it.

Liz Truss managed to get to the top job in the UK by spewing 3 simple slogans.
"Grow the Economy'
'Cut Taxes'
'Deal with the Energy Crisis'
All without any proper or real scrutiny?!
It's incredible how easy it was made for her to become the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
