The @Conservatives absolutely detest this honest campaign ad, which was recently released by a disgruntled CCHQ job applicant.
So please, let's not hamper their upcoming #LocalElection prospects, or embarrass them any further, by accidentally sharing it!

“By far most importantly, we got a crucial update on the Post Office scandal, with Sunak announcing that he will ‘introduce new primary legislation to make sure that those convicted are swiftly exonerated and compensated’.”

Do you trust this man or any of the Tories with the NHS?
Let's send them a message if you don't trust them reply with a ❌.
Hands off our NHS!

The chaos at the heart of this SNP government is costing the taxpayer thousands.
We cannot expect ordinary Scots to pay the price for SNP incompetence any more.

BREAKING: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he won't let a "foreign court stand in the way of us getting a flight off to Rwanda."
He says he is "determined" to bring forward emergency legislation to deliver on his promise to "stop the boats."

Sometimes you have to be ruthless to be a good leader.
I changed the Labour Party. If I'm privileged enough to be given the opportunity, I'll change the country too.
Great to speak to @Alex_Bilmes for @EsquireUK.

Labour will make sure families across Britain can enjoy the safety and security of owning their own home.
And we’ll unlock economic growth across the country, making everyone better off.

Scottish arts and culture are facing a perfect storm - but the SNP-Green government is slashing their budget.
Today MSPs have a chance to put a stop to these reckless cuts 👇 heraldscotland.com/news/2387…

A must-read piece on what Labour in government could learn from New Labour on how to build community cohesion - and stop events like those now in Israel and Palestine fuelling tensions, hate or even terror at home:
There is much more in Britain that unites us than divides us, but we need to be proactive to defeat hate.
My take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the need to tackle the fissures it causes in our local communities. Via @LabourList:

Jacob Rees-Mogg: I want to slash civil servants redundancy pay.
Also Jacob Rees-Mogg: I'm going to take £16,800 redundancy pay for a ministerial role I had for 7 weeks.

Jacob Rees-Mogg earned £6m in profit, then paid it to himself in a loan so he wouldn’t have to pay tax and he wouldn’t have to declare it to Parliament.

YOU CAN STICK ‘MAKE BREXIT WORK’!
Labour’s position on Brexit is absurd. It’s an economic imperative we rejoin the SM & CU. Not to do so would be economic suicide and put us into an unstoppable spiral of decline. So do it, Labour!
The majority want to rejoin the EU. STOP IGNORING THEM, LABOUR!
Hold a referendum in your first year in office. Just do it!
