44 motions and almost certainly some emergency motions on top. It’s going to be busy and intense!

Don't believe everything you read on right-wing medias, in papers and more. The shirt Hannah Spencer wore at PMQ's is a 15 year old charity shop find, not a £2,000 Gucci purchase like many would want you to believe! 🤥
Why would people spread misinformation about Hannah? Hmm?

How embarrassing for all those who claimed Hannah Spencer was wearing a £1800 Gucci silk blouse. 🤣🤣🤣

Abuse online is far too common, and we will not tolerate it.
Tech companies have a moral duty to act by making it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images.
If they don’t, we will legislate.

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others
Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.
Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.
It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

The Education System fails thousands of pupils, causes despair to families and has led to a huge rise in Home Education in recent years. That is sadly all too true. But it is the result of 14 years of Gove-Gibb dogma. Labour has not (yet) fixed it, but it didn't do the wrecking.

As I wrote I think last month, the government has effectively outsourced decision-making on senior pay in the schools sector to individual academy trust boards. They then benchmark pay decisions against those of other academy trusts. We see the results.
Where is the accountability for use of public ££ in this way ? 🤦♀️

Goodness: as an update to the below, have just had the news, via a letter sent to governors, that the chief executive of St Ralph Sherwin CMAT has "resigned with immediate effect".

The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.
The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.
There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.
I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.

What is wrong with you?
Black men are at significantly higher risk of prostate cancer. This isn’t “two-tier Britain”. It’s basic medicine.
The programme will save lives and the NHS money. That’s great news.
Stop rage-farming and log off for a day. It might do you some good. 👍

I promised we would fix our broken railways.
Today Southern, Thameslink, Great Northern and Gatwick Express return to public ownership. Run for the public good, not private profit.
This Labour government is putting passengers first.

First Matt Badloss in Gorton and Denton and now this absolute clown. Not sure Reform could run a country when they have such an issue with candidate selection

Reform UK sold Robert Kenyon as the authentic ‘local plumber’ born and bred in Makerfield.
Turns out he’s a Haydock lad from Merseyside who went to school in St Helens North and was registered to vote there until 2014.
Neighbours calling out the fake ‘Mr Makerfield’ cosplay. These guys lie so easily it’s embarrassing.
What are they desperately hiding? The mask slips every single time.

Britain has gotten poorer over the last decade. Brexit didn't work.
Disposable income has fallen more than in other European countries and certainly more than in the US.
They cut their nose off despite their economic face, a populist, nationalist, emotional decision, and now they're stuck because you can't get the same deal with the EU you once had.
People are done with both parties and they want to throw the bums out.
Now Farage is rising. I've met him and think he’s a con.
Go read his economic proposals — some of them are hate-based, some are tribally based.
Farage's broader economic proposals are populist noise that will make the country weaker and hurt the very people supporting him.
