What did you do to implement the 20 recommendations of the Jay report? What did you do to implement the mandatory reporting of abuse / suspected abuse? Did you or any Tory demand a national inquiry? - no you all told Telford / Rotherham / Rochdale / Oldham to do their own You epitomise the bandwagon jumping highlighted

I was at the House of Commons today in support of the campaign to put libraries in primary schools. As I walked down the corridor, I came face to face with Michael Gove. I asked him if I could borrow a fronted adverbial off him, as I had left mine at home.

I have just heard Liz Kendall MP, who is Secretary of State for Work and Pensions saying on the morning media round that Labour believes that everyone should have the chance to be ’earning or learning’. This is another trite sound bite. What about those who are caring? What about those who are sick? What about those unable to do either of these things in a formal sense? What about the retired? What about those for whom there is no work or training they can afford to access, most especially now bus fares are increasing? These questions are so obvious, what is Labour thinking? The obvious question is does it just not care about those it doesn’t see as ‘economic units of production’?  My suspicion is that is the case. This is not a Labour Party as we once knew it.

To prevent flooding in our communities, we must start in the uplands. Replanting woodlands and restoring peat bogs helps store more water in the landscape, reducing the risk downstream. We can keep building higher flood walls, but working with nature is far more effective.

I've said it before. Israel is now the Jimmy Savile of the World, and Every Politician, Media Org & Charity still Throwing their Weight behind protecting that depraved Entity, are committing a well-deserved career Suicide. Don't fucking insult People's intelligence.

Straight out of the Trump right-wing populist playbook. Badenoch lies because she knows MSM and @BBCNews will let her get away with it. Her ill-informed vacuous base simply accepts it as fact. There's a lot more of this nonsense hurtling down the track. #Torylies

The world feels a whole lot more terrifying this morning - especially for any hope of climate action. Right now I feel sick. But I also know we have choices on how to respond - and will try even harder to light candles rather than curse the darkness 🕯️

While attention here is focused on the US election, Israel is completing an ethnic cleansing of northern Gaza. This is a war crime under any definition.

There is something profoundly moving about Palestinians in Gaza getting behind Jill Stein’s campaign. She is the only Jewish candidate. Jews and Muslims are cousins. Zionism is a sickness that drives them apart and needs them to be enemies. I cannot wait til we are rid of it.
