Congratulations to my old UNISON buddy @WendyNi07471674 Nichols on her appointment as an @UKLabour peer.
Of course we need a more democratic second chamber, but while we have the system we have it is good to see a hard working working class trade unionist there as a working peer

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is blaming the Vauxhall job losses on the electric vehicle mandate introduced by Tory business secretary Kemi Badenoch. I wonder if the two of them are related?

Our GRIT TEAM are out now gritting the main roads 🚛
We’re keeping a close on the forecast and we’ll be back out when needed in the night 💪
AND our emergency cold weather night shelter is OPEN tonight 8pm-8am at Wakefield Baptist Church (WF1 5JY) for those who need it ❤️
#LightUpWakefield was great last night. Another fantastic @MyWakefield event mainly in #WakefieldNorth
Just when @UKLabour thought the 2 1/2 Tories on @MyWakefield Council couldn’t split any further #Ossett Cllr Nick Farmer told Council today he was glad the Tory Govt had gone and that he’d been ashamed of much of what they did.
@WFDLabourGroup wondering if he’ll be thrown out?

Had these race riots happened during the last few years of the Conservative government Britain would have been a far more dangerous place for people of colour.
As a @conservative my first commitment is to my country and I’m relieved a sane squad are in charge during these troubled times.

People are in the hotel.
This is arson with intent. A life sentence offence.

Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right
Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then

When a bunch of grinning arseholes rock up blind pissed and coked up to a grief-stricken community just to have a punch-up and torch a Mosque, I’m not sure it’s even technically POSSIBLE to “smear” them, Isabel. They’re the literal lowest of the actual low. They’re BENEATH scum.
Always moved when I see these - realise how widespread the Holocaust was.
Very excited to see the case of #stolpersteine which have arrived safely in Jersey for the ceremony tomorrow! @JerseyHeritage

Congratulations to @JudithCummins on her election as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.
I recall her updates to @unisontheunion @unisonyh Regional Labour Link meetings - she has always been a good friend to the union 🌹

Really pleased this carving from #Wakefield will stay in the UK. Maybe @MyWakefield or the Cathedral could arrange for it to be shown here @M_Collins89?
