PM says he wants to "call out" conduct of Tory politicians who sat in govt now "jumping on a bandwagon" of the far right over grooming gangs.
"Once we lose the anchor that truth matters in the robust debate we must have, then we're on a very slippery slope."

Keir Starmer comes out strong against Elon Musk - accuses him of “spreading lies” and said a line “has been crossed”

On the 5:40am train to London! Can’t wait till get stuck in. 💪🏻🌹❤️
Can't help feeling nostalgic seeing all those Scottish Labour MPs travelling to London today(hope trains run smoother than for me off to UKParl first time April 1992 and arriving 4 a.m. after many hours' delay en route)good luck and best wishes to all especially @tracygilbert72

Labour has six fully funded, fully costed first steps to change Britain and grow our economy.
All the Tories have is unfunded gimmicks.

Hi @jamieoliver.
In the election for the first North East Mayor I’ve set the highest bar of any candidate on child poverty. I’ll measure our success in the number of children lifted out of poverty.
It’s ambitious, but we can’t simply help people to live better with poverty we need to alleviate it. As @UKLabour Mayor I will:
✅ restore sure start centres savaged by this govt
✅ invest in more youth services as I’ve already done as police commissioner.
✅ create a childcare grant to support parents back into work & training
✅ support roll out of breakfast clubs in every primary school
✅ find local solutions to expand free school meal provision in our poorest schools
✅ enhance counselling and mental health support in schools
✅ ensure families renting have a minimum living standard - beds and floor coverings
✅ provide free travel for children young people to open access to education, work, training & services
✅ expand access to music and the arts for children from low income backgrounds
I believe the North East is the best place to grow up. We can make it the home of real opportunity.
I’m 100% behind your campaign.

14 years of Tory Government have been brutal for councils and communities across the country.
Just when things couldn’t look any more bleak, North Tyneside Tories think it is time to lie down and give up fighting cuts.

Millions to resurface London’s roads? A Network North project?
It’s like a bad Christmas cracker joke.
The punch line-Tories celebrating widening the North/South divide.
As Mayor I’ll fight for our North East so we can fix our broken transport network and unlock our potential.

Because nothing says ‘I’m innocent’ like suing your own inquiry to avoid sharing unredacted diary entries…

Carol, like @GaryLineker, has reached a place in life where nothing the Tory-supporting media throws at her can cut deep enough to shut her up. You'd think the people who abuse them both so vilely on here might pause to wonder why so few 'famous' people speak truth to power.
The extended version of @haveigotnews For You is on @BBCOne tonight at 10.30pm
And it includes a teeny tiny bit of my opinion of Michelle Mone
@Nabilu at the end 😂 talking corruption in UK versus Nigeria...
Enjoy

his way through the most catastrophic Premiership in all of 🇬🇧 history. Yet much of the media continue to report his utterances without providing that rather important context 2/2
Cllr. Willie Samuel retweeted
Philip Schofield lied about an affair and you’d think from some in the media it was the biggest thing to happen since the Queen died. Johnson has also lied about affairs. But more importantly he lied to deliver Brexit, lied to become PM, lied to win an election, and lied 1/2

Fantastic day in Collingwood supporting Jack Proud.
Residents are fed up with Tories not keeping their promises and their appalling behaviour.
Jack has lived in the ward his entire life, he’ll be the residents voice on council, standing up for the issues which matter to them.

I'm howling laughing 😂
@LeeAndersonMP_ quickly changed his bio from NOT including Conservative to now, since my tweet earlier, adding a Tory reference
Then he tells me to "act your age" 😂
Lee luv, get a grip 😂
RT gang 🙏🏼 It's too funny not to

The penny has finally dropped for them that it is not financially viable not to do so and their budget this year puts council tax up by 4.6% saving the average resident 12 pence a week. To do this they’ve cut £362,000 of support for the most in-need people in the borough.
Cllr. Willie Samuel retweeted
The Tories have spent years misleading residents that there is no need to put council tax up despite their government telling us we have to or it will create a black hole in the council's finances.
