Come off it @wesstreeting, you're just pulling another @Keir_Starmer & making "true @UKLabour left of centre value" promises in an attempt to steal the leadership election votes, but then, just like Starmer, you would immediately abandon them; you're just another right wing liar!

I asked a lady i work with what % of all crime she thinks ethnic minorities commit in the UK and she said 77%. When i told her the real number she was shocked and even googled it. She said “you hardly ever see anything about white people though”
🚨NEW: 34% of Brits believe ethnic minorities receive preferential treatment from police, a proportion which has doubled in the past two years Additionally, 91% say the legal exemption allowing Sikhs to carry Kirpans in public should be removed or tightened [@Moreincommon_]

How to find billions more for defence? Take it off the poor says Labour bit.ly/4vNX6km people whose income is too low to pay tax will complain less loudly than people with incomes high enough to pay a lot.

10 years after the Brexit vote. UK economy is significantly smaller than it would otherwise have been. Trade has suffered. Business investment and productivity growth have stalled. Families are on average thousands of pounds a year worse off. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Denmark, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands plan to build four artificial islands to quadruple offshore wind in the North Sea – the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #climate #energy #tech #GreenNewDeal

'Handouts to handups’ The language of the Tories. A Labour MP. Apparently a leadership candidate. While they refuse to end handouts to the super rich.
Carns is asked where the extra £ for defence should come from. ".. I think there are places, such as moving welfare from hand outs to hand ups" Describing welfare as hand outs tells us all about Carns politics & who he wants to target - the sick, disabled, low paid, pensioners

The 50 richest families own more wealth than 34 million people. A handful have everything. Millions are struggling. End Rip Off Britain. Wealth tax. Now.

Front page of The Times: Andy Burnham’s first big announcement about his approach to leading the country is that he would be willing to cut benefits to fund the defence budget, with the usual ‘rights and responsibilities’ fluff about more work opportunities. This terrifies me.

Feargal Sharkey brands '£100billion' cost of nationalising water 'nonsense'. Spot on. They inflate investment by capitalising part of interest, repair/maintenance cost. Govt says Thames Water is worth £21bn. KKR wouldn't pay £4bn. Nationalise water. mirror.co.uk/news/feargal-sh…

The world's first trillionaire is backing the far right mobs and their politician backers. Don't think for a second that these men have ordinary people's interests at heart.

You see these scenes from Belfast? That's our future if Reform, Restore, the Tories, GB News, Elon Musk and the right-wing media get their way. Except this will be on a much bigger scale. We have to decide: do we want those inciting hatred to destroy our country?
Residents had to be evacuated from their homes in east Belfast following fires. Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service officers attended the scene at Lendrick Street on Tuesday night. Live updates: tinyurl.com/4xdm7tzu 📸: PA

We had NHS dentists, and free education, we owned Rail, Mail, Telecoms, Water, Energy, Steel and Ship Building, Social housing was built, and we owned care homes. All of this was stolen to allow the rich to rob us forever for using essential services.

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously. The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together. Now is a time for real leadership.

World’s largest banks pledged $906bn to fossil fuel companies. More coal, oil and gas production for years as planet overheats. Your savings used to fund food, water, seas, climate crisis. People have no say as execs, shareholders enrich themselves. theguardian.com/environment/…

Reform won't back workers. They won't reverse anti-trade union laws. And they won't break up the broken electoral system. For all of the talk of being anti-establishment, a Reform government would deliver nothing but division.
