The amount of people, both men and women, casting doubt on Brand's conviction and the evidence of the women theirselves is absolutely staggering. Whether they believe he is actually innocent or just doing it for views, it's absolutely disgusting.
Brand is a rapist.

Today on #RemembranceSunday , we honour the memory of those who fought and died for our freedom. #lestweforget
May we never forget the horrors of war and what it brings.
Wilfred Owen was killed on the frontline just days before the end of the First World War.
Rejoining the EU is the biggest lever we have as a country to getting back on track.
The Ipsos Mori survey found that 56% now say they would vote in favour of becoming part of the EU again.
At the same time the number who back staying out has fallen three points to 30%.

The entire £83,000 #CelebrityTraitors prize fund going towards supporting refugees and queer displaced people feels bloody wonderful in such wretched times marked by fearmongering and inhumane politics – even more so knowing there will be many right-wingers enraged by that. ❤️

Good news about a Lancashire Mayor, but I fear this will be based on the current clunky Combined County Authority model that sees Blackpool and Blackburn unitaries at the top table with Lancashire CC, with other Lancs councils frozen out. Fingers crossed it's not.

What an utter mess the Green Party are.
'Is that a really good use of his time?'
'Raising money for a cancer charity?'
The Green Party's @floschechter brands Andy Burnham going on Gogglebox as 'ridiculous'.

Electoral reform is a valid debate, but tbqhwy, I’d rather see us rejoin the EU and replace the House of Lords with an elected second chamber first.
Both feel like bigger priorities to me.

The Green Party surge was always going to disintegrate. Their small core membership is joined by a strange mix of shy Tories and rejects from other parties driving their own agendas.

Less debate. More social housing.
Councils or housing associations? I don’t mind who builds them. We need more genuinely affordable homes.
If councils can deliver, let them. If housing associations can, let them. If they can work better together, do that.
Just get on with it.

90 years ago today, fascists tried to march through Cable Street. Thousands of ordinary people stood in their way
They did not pass
Different decade, different slogans, but the politics of division and scapegoating remains familiar
Remember Cable Street. They shall not pass

Brilliant result for Labour in Blackpool last night, against a high profile Reform UK candidate.
Reform have peaked and are rapidly sliding away, and the Tory vote has absolutely collapsed.
Yes! 🙌
Our reaction to the Prime Minister’s speech in @LabourList 🌹
Radical realism in action. Mainstream Labour values in practice.
ALT 'Radical realism in action' Mainstream, a soft-left group backed by Burnham, said that the speech delivered on their calls for radical change. The group's interim council said: "Andy Burnham - our Prime Minister, the leader of the Labour Party, and a signatory to Mainstream's founding statement - just announced some of the most radical reforms this country has seen for the best part of a century. "Electoral reform. Public control. A new settlement for social care. And much, much more. "Radical realism in action, Mainstream Labour values in practice. We're not just changing the Labour Party, we are changing the country."

The case for rejoining the EU has never been stronger.
It’s now the only path for securing our long-term prosperity.
And we mustn’t delay. Labour must start making the case - and then use the next election to secure a mandate to rejoin.
