Shameful that tabloid journalists have created a narrative so vile about Meghan and Harry - stemming from their own racism and sexism - that they've managed to make them less popular than an accused paedophile and groomer
December 2020.
UK is in lockdown.
And at Conservative Campaign Headquarters in London, they party like they don't give a f*** for the rules. Because they don't.

The mask has not slipped, Sadiq Khan does not have any PPM plans. If your entire campaign is based on lies what do you actually stand for??
@GuidoFawkes
Literally factually incorrect. Video shows her leaving a pub, making no attempts to avoid protesters, simply just walking along the high street?
@Councillorsuzie
Sadiq Khan has said he has no PPM plans more times than I can count. But you’re still yet to answer how you’re funding scrapping the ULEZ expansion
@Councillorsuzie
OR… Vote for Sadiq Khan and there will still be no pay-per-mile
Susan Hall knows Khan has no PPM plans. Just because he explored ULEZ alternatives doesn’t mean he has any plans to implement PPM, which he has said many times.
But while we’re on the subject of the ULEZ, how are…

Hey everyone, I am looking to talk to someone about the European Court of Human Rights. It's a hot topic given the many leading Conservatives speaking up against it and the recent story coming out of Switzerland.

The worst thing about
@jk_rowling
is that we all grew up hearing about her success story, and about how she’s a great role model, but in reality she’s a nasty transphobe who endlessly spews hatred. It’s such a disheartening reality.

That’s my morning at the Copperbox count done. Heading to City Hall now for more content - once things pick up I’ll be live again with the final results, and hopefully exclusives with a few candidates
Just a hunch, but thinking the problems probably relate to the uneven distribution of wealth, power, resources, etc. Maybe if
@GOVUK
were to focus on areas other than London every once in a while, things could be different?? 🤷♂️

@youngvulgarian
on this country's relationship with London.
The last 13 years have seen an endless stream of Tory governments so out of touch with reality that they’ve managed to create a situation as dire as this. A government should represent everybody, and should strive to understand the needs of everybody - not just the wealthy.

Rishi Sunak attempts to attack Sir Keir Starmer over how Labour 'defines a woman' as the mum of Brianna Ghey, a trans teenager who was murdered, was sat in the Commons listening to prime minister's questions
A shocked Sir Keir replies: 'Of all the weeks to say that... Shame'

Tories voted it down 🤬
He now throws a gauntlet to Labour: Will you cancel everything I’ve just announced today. Would Labour really resurrect hs2 if asked to cough up 36 billion for it ?
Years of pretending it was a priority, and now they won’t even do that. Conversion therapy should be a distant memory of the past, not our present and not the reality of over 3000 people in the UK.

Whilst
#Easter
is an opportunity to celebrate the changing of seasons & enjoy a bank holiday, many may find the 'voice' of the eating disorder is amplified. 🐰🧡
Here are our tips for coping with this time:
#eatingdisorders
#edrecovery
13 years of Conservative government have led to the longest waiting lists and lowest patient satisfaction on record.
Labour’s 13 years delivered the shortest waiting times and the highest patient satisfaction on record.
That’s the Labour difference.
#PMQs
We are a reasonable country, but our patience has now run out.
Our Parliament is sovereign, and it should be able to make decisions that cannot be undone in our courts.
That’s what this emergency legislation delivers.
Incredibly sad news, but incredibly unsurprising. It’ll be far from enough, but I hope to see the Home Office take accountability when/if a statement is released. This cannot simply be swept under the rug.
Imagine fleeing conflict or persecution, embarking on such a long and uncertain journey to the UK, only to find that the treatment of asylum seekers is so horrendous, and the conditions are so appalling, that this is the outcome. There needs to be consequences.

Can’t find anything to criticise her for other than sticking by her own morals? Trans rights are human rights, denial of access to adequate healthcare and services needed to transition, regardless of age, is transphobia. Good on
@AngelaRayner
for sticking to her morals, if only…
Time and time again, the Tory party have proven this is just not something they can offer. It’s time for change, time for a general election and a Labour government.

🚨 NEW: Rishi Sunak has SCRAPPED Suella Braverman's plan to ban homeless tents because he's "uncomfortable" with her "lifestyle choice" comments
It has been removed from the King's Speech

Oftentimes it can be the act of reaching out for help that is the scariest and most daunting. Admitting to yourself (and to others) that everything actually isn’t fine is a leap not to be under-appreciated, it takes immeasurable amounts of courage and bravery.

Today is
#WorldMentalHealthDay
🌍 And it’s time for action.
Take that first step to getting help. Or share this post and help us reach someone who really needs to see it 💙
Rough sleeping is not a “lifestyle choice”.
A toxic mix of rising rents and failure to end no-fault evictions is hitting vulnerable people. After years of delay the Tories are failing on their promises.
Now after 13 years, they’re blaming homeless people rather than themselves.
Policy catering to the top 1%, meanwhile the situation for everyone else worsens. Sunak does not care about the country, just the rich 🤷♂️

@NatalieElphicke
is a nasty piece of work and has no place on the benches of “a changed Labour Party”.
@Keir_Starmer
seems so desperate to be seen as successful that he’s willing to take anyone
Natalie Elphicke, who has just been welcomed to the Labour Party by Sir Keir Starmer, cruelly and publicly tormented the victims of her sex offender ex-husband Charlie.
She claimed ***after his conviction*** that he had merely been punished for being "attractive and attracted"…
But whilst it can be daunting, reaching out for support can sometimes be essential to getting back on track. Everybody comes with ‘baggage’ - you are never alone. Unsupported and untreated, mental health issues only grow.

This is outrageous. 😡
The Tories are flushing the public’s money down the drain in the middle of a cost of living crisis. 🚽
Labour will tackle cronyism and waste head on - we’ll treat taxpayers’ money with the respect it deserves. 🌹

This has to be a joke! This is nothing but another attack on working-class people, and people just trying to make a living. Meanwhile taxes on the wealthy stay lenient.
