“Why can’t the 93% of children in our state schools receive the same musical offering that the 7% in private schools take for granted?” Lord Bragg quoted @Howard_Goodall in criticising unequal access to arts education.

Make no mistake: the Tories’ introduction of voter ID is designed to rig the next election by stopping younger and historically marginalised people from voting. Do not let them. Sign up for your free photo ID now and RT to spread the word ⬇️ gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

5 years ago Milton Keynes was dubbed ‘tent city’ by the media. Today, no one needs to sleep rough on our streets. How did we do it? A thread by the Cabinet Member responsible 👇 – at Milton Keynes, England

🚨NEW. Suella Braverman pushes to restrict tents for rough sleepers, and proposes making it a civil office for charities to give tents to homeless via @FT with ⁦@LOS_Fisher⁩ on.ft.com/3QpJf0p

International law on this question is very straightforward and very unequivocal.

Penny Mordaunt also says “striking workers don’t benefit from strikes” Without our trade unions & the workers willing to back them with strike action when needed we wouldn’t have a minimum wage, maternity & paternity rights, pension provision, holiday & sickness entitlements - victories which have benefited every single person in this country

250,000 views in an hour & suddenly deleted! We cannot allow a single worker to be sacked for defending their pay and conditions - the entire trade union movement must rally behind any worker sacked for exercising their fundamental right to strike. THIS MUST END NOW!

Imagine the shock for GB News & the Daily Mail when they find out we had a returns agreement with the EU before Brexit & the huge rise in dangerous small boat crossings is in large part a direct consequence of the Brexit deal championed by the Prime Minister himself!

A shocking new report has found Boris Johnson’s “oven ready” Brexit deal (championed by Rishi Sunak) has caused the small boats crisis in English Channel It’s getting very little media attention so let’s put that right!

The @metpoliceuk is so far from fit for purpose it’s terrifying. The heavy-handed and totally disproportionate treatment this woman received (in front of her distressed and bewildered young son) was for suspected bus fare evasion, to the tune of £1.75 1/2

Next week the Government will use an UNPRECEDENTED ABUSE OF POWER to restrict the publics right to protest. There is a VIRTUAL MEDIA BLACKOUT on this. Neither @SkyNews or @BBCNews even raised it with the energy Secretary today. Help me do their job for them by sharing this report
