Listen, you twats. In 2019 (and 2017!) I wasnโt that chuffed about our leader. BUT, I voted Labour as I always do, because any Labour government is better than any Tory government.

: How have Labour handled the Angela Rayner story?
John OโFarrell(Author): "I think this is such a ridiculous non-story... for the BBC to keep spending time on this... because the Mail has pushed & pushed & pushed... it's not a story just because the mail says so.."
Just found out the SNP intended to put TWO motions today. One was the shitshow weโve just watched; the other was a motion to commit to ยฃ28bn on green energy. So basically all theyโre bothered about is causing bother for Labour. They couldnโt give a shit about improving lives.
I was pleased to pay tribute to the brave sub-postmasters whose fight for justice has captured the nation. Since I was elected in 2010 I have fought their cause in Parliament because for me this is personal. Post Office and Fujitsu must be held to account.
Lee Anderson got a standing ovation at a Tory Party fundraiser last night, while Liz Truss was guest of honour. This Conservative Party is the party of hatred and division and Spineless Rishi Sunak presides over it with a smile.
We need a General Election, and we need it NOW.
BBC One currently showing its adaptation of The Famous Five: 'The Curse of Kirrin Island', which is set in 1940s Cornwall. So naturally the main character, George, is mixed-race.

PM visits Yorkshire's Red Wall post budget. He knows seats like Rother Valley will be crucial in GE.
Lacklustre pitch to voters: "I know things have been tough."
Almost word-for-word the same as his GB News forum last month - not much spring in his post-Spring-budget step!
Labourโs plans include increased mental health support, a fully-funded plan to cut NHS waiting lists, an end to zero hour contracts, no more fire and rehire, and a real living wage.
Sounds pretty good to me.

FFS, Iโm as annoyed as anyone about the shitshow that is Brexit, but will you all stop demanding that Labour pledges to rejoin?
For a start, itโs not that easy, and we all know that if Labour did this, they would be absolutely ROASTED by the right-wing press.
Angela is such a good speaker - and as someone who has worked her way up from poverty through hard work, with the support Labour governments gave her - is a real asset to Labour.

Such a contrast with the tanking Tories.
Wow... Conservative Party political broadcast just now: Ben Bradley says that in Labour-run Councils "you're more likely to have to wait behind non-British nationals for social housing"
They're not just the nasty party, they're now sourcing their attacks lines from the BNP.

This is appalling! We need a General Election so the rest of the country can show Starmer how shocked we are at his discourtesy.
A much better statement than the one from the PM - Khan remembered to thank the police, for a start.
And weโve still heard nothing from the Home Secretary.
Bridget Phillipson is very impressive. Another Labour frontbencher from the working classes who wants all children to have the opportunities she was lucky enough to have.

It will be my top priority as Education Secretary.
