It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.
JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

To protect jobs and create a level playing field, we use anti-dumping laws to stop imported goods being sold at below cost. AI is being sold at below cost, subsidised by shareholder capital, and its makers say it will cost millions of jobs. Shouldn't we level the playing field?

In the last 48 hours I’ve been deluged with 100s of vile, misogynistic tweets and death threats. Why? For doing my job: asking @ZiaYusufUK questions about claims by @Nigel_Farage of 2-tier policing. I spoke about this on tonight’s show. Enough is enough. youtu.be/MTrNIyotEHk?si=VElZ…

Clear steer from the IMF that there is now “limited tax space” in the UK that does not involve fundamental tax reform.

Brexit has cost us billions in lost trade and left us with a stagnant economy.
The Conservatives caused this damage. Labour won't fix it.
It doesn't matter who the new Labour leader is - if they won't even join a customs union, they'll fail to grow the economy.

The level of stupidity and/or cynicism on display here is quite something. If you’re running to be a union leader don’t spout misinformation about the law like this.
It's extremely worrying that this is the level of understanding the General Secretary of @unisontheunion has about the @ForWomenScot judgment, the @EHRC Code of Practice and the Equality Act. An embarrassing jumble of half-baked mistruths.

retweet if you think this shows #animalcruelty or appalling #animalwelfare. This is Gareth Williams welsh dairy farmer trading as G I W Ltd. These are his pregnant cattle with multiple #TB infections as he breached @APHAgovuk rules re spreading infected slurry

🚨 @Lord_Sugar in Sun Times
“Leaving Europe is the worst thing I have experienced in my whole time in business.”
“Johnson and Gove should be in jail. As a chairman I am obliged to tell the truth to my shareholders.”
“If I lie it’s a criminal offence. Politicians lie to the public — their shareholders — and get away with it.”
“All that bullshit about the 350 million quid going to the NHS after Brexit.”

Starmer and Reeves are not kidding when they say this political uncertainty causes economic damage. The only “reset” being achieved at the moment is higher borrowing costs. Result? We’re all worse off. So deeply depressing.

Whatever your views of the *desirability* of getting back closer to Europe, we should all be able to agree that the PM saying he wants the UK to be "at the heart of Europe" while opposing membership of the EU, its single market and customs union is a nonsense

Andy Burnham presided over the mid staffs disaster which labour MPs seem to have forgotten. It’s an extremely worrying time for those of us who are in communities with a Labour MO who doesn’t represent us as rural communities hammered by Labour politics for years

Right, elections are over. Is Bridget Phillipson finally, finally going to implement the law on single-sex spaces, and lay the EHRC Code of Practice before Parliament? 🤔

I'm a vet. And I grew up on our family farm. So I've worked with animals for about 40 years. Is that enough experience for you to listen?

When he spends at least 20 years working and living with animals then I may listen, BUT he’s an mp! They just spurt out what they think others might like to hear. Got to go.
