Mainstream parties need to maintain a firewall against antisemitism. The Greens have put themselves on the wrong side of it through their grotesque decision to define Zionism, which is simply the belief that Israel should exist and that Jewish people have a right to national self-determination, as being racist. I hope the electorate will react by pushing them into political oblivion, but there are no circumstances where Labour or any other mainstream party can share power with a party professing an ideology that breaches the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

Thank you, @KenSkatesMS for stepping up to provide leadership for Labour in Wales and the Senedd as we begin a period of necessary reflection and rebuilding.
Ken is a talented and experienced MS. I know he will do a fantastic job bringing Welsh Labour together and holding the new Welsh government to account for working people.

He dodged 5 questions.
Because the real answer?
Plaid = risk Wales can’t afford.

Hilarious to see Zack Polanski trying to hypnotise the public about voting intentions in Gorton and Denton.
Dodgy.

I just spent £61 in @NewLook and was told I had to give my email address to get a receipt. That is completely false and totally unlawful.
A receipt is a legal requirement when a customer asks for one and it cannot be made conditional on handing over personal data.
UK GDPR is very clear that consent has to be freely given and necessary for the service. An email is not needed to print a receipt.
What makes this worse is their target demographic is younger people who often do not know their rights.
The girls (all of them) behind the till lied straight to my face, then got shitty when I challenged them.
When she realised I was a nasty mean old bird, she finally printed mine, and everyone else in the queue suddenly asked for printed receipts too.
That tells you everything. Customers do not want this.
I will be reporting it, because this kind of data-grabbing is out of control and companies like New Look know exactly what they are doing. It is shocking behaviour.

The PowerPoint mayor to the rescue. But listen up Jeremy Corbyn. You, Zara Sultana and MOU Ltd are not the future government. You never have been. You’re not even the future pub quiz team. You’re three clowns in a wheelie bin on fire, convinced you’re storming the Bastille.

Great to be on @BBCRadioWales discussing last nights suspension of 4 Labour MPs and government stability

Ever since it’s creation there has been a tension about the nature of the Labour Party.
The Labour Party is a social democratic Party and NOT a far-left ideologically driven revolutionary construct.
Zarah is back in the irrelevance of the far-left. And the Labour Party will get on with the serious business of government.

Hey @CPhilpOfficial, why are you promoting dodgy statistics from a far right racist that claims:
- "the BNP have been vindicated".
- Calls your leader "an obnoxious black woman".
- India is hell.
As Shadow Home Secretary we should expect at least the most basic due diligence.
