This is such sad news. A giant of the Labour movement, a thinker, writer and fighter. Relentless in his pursuit of a more equal society. 🥀

Very sad to see my colleague Lauren Edwards MP bringing the deeply flawed and unsafe Assisted Dying Bill back as a PMB. If it was safe and brilliant why did the Lords sponsor of the bill bring 77 amendments in the Lords? It cannot just be brought back as it is and forced through.

Absolutely infuriating that one of my colleagues has decided that what Parliament should focus on in the coming months - given everything going on in the world and here at home - is bringing back the assisted dying bill. Head in hands.

You’re going to see a lot in your X timeline about how the social media ban is unworkable and illiberal - and it will be one the most obvious examples of how social media skews debate.
But it will be one of the most popular things the government is doing

RT @dsnorthnorth: This is very sad news indeed if true. I can’t think of a more divisive issue within the country, Parliament or the PLP.…

Good.
Understand tomorrow’s announcement won’t be as definitive as setting a curfew time, it will be more about setting the direction of travel and overall thrust of the policy

In our Makerfield constituency poll we also asked people how they might vote in a future EU referendum. Despite the fact the constituency voted 65% to Leave in 2016 our poll suggests residents would now be more likely to vote to rejoin.

Nigel Farage, here, yet again talking about racial issues rather than education or health or defence or culture or growth or energy or technology or anything else.
The man seems obsessed with race to the point of fixation.

The mainstream media constantly distorts what I say. You can no longer rely on them to report the truth.

Journey home listening to Forever Changes in full for the first time in years and its seriously overwhelming. Baroque n’ roll, the drumming, LA, the Manson murders, the changing world. It’s too much

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

A good moment to remind everyone that the tories increased national debt from 1tn to 3tn.
The interest on this alone costs nearly twice the defence budget.
They also slashed the defence budget.
The tories are responsible for the dire state of the uk.
