A lot of local and regional news outlets are doing a great job naming those appearing in court
These are the accounts that should be amplified not accounts using the situation to build a following
NEW: A thug shouted "s***houses" before he punched a police officer in the face during the violent riots in Southport. He will be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court later this month. W/ @adameverettecho.

Time for the policy specialists to step up and the political correspondents to retreat. We need to understand what’s being proposed and whether it’ll work, not endlessly opine on whether Labour will face threats in 2029

My piece for The Observer today on being the only journalist in the room with Keir Starmer and his family on Thursday night, when their lives were changed forever. theguardian.com/politics/art…

Brilliant, essential read

To be a Labour member is, ostensibly, to be committed to a Labour government for the UK – not a coalition government or some other sort, as PR would make more likely, writes @jamesrbuk. newstatesman.com/quickfire/2…

I'm standing to be Labour parliamentary candidate for Filton & Bradley Stoke.
I have local roots, national experience & a track record of bringing people together to make change happen. Together we can win for the first time.

Imagine your “biggest fear” as Schools Minister is a plan to fund state schools to better support the majority of children in this country.

Sad to see Nadhim Zahawi doing Alistair Campbell's bidding.

They’ve still got to go to the 1922 committee & get something, and honestly, I will love it if we beat them!

Imagine being the cleaner having to scrub red wine off the walls inside No10 while banned from visiting your own family at Christmas

This didn’t look like our lockdowns. A 🧵 of the images people have submitted to @38degrees - which show the heartbreaking contrast between what was happening inside and outside No 10 (add yours here 38d.gs/NotLikeMyLockdown )

- I'm confident I didn't break the law.
- Yes you did!
- Honestly, I'm sure I didn't.
- If you did, then you'll have to resign.
- Yes, you're right, I will.
- This is outrageous, disgusting, despicable pressure on the police!

Did the Chancellor know about the party in the Prime Minister's garden in May 2020? Did he attend? Was he involved in the cover up?
It's important for us to know whether the man who holds the purse strings in our country broke the rules.
👇My question in Parliament today.

This was the moment @UKLabour got serious about winning power with a plan for the country that matches the ambition of the people in it.
We are back in business.

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media.
It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

I hope that @MarcusRashford goes to bed knowing that he is the right kind of hero. Kids might get to eat this summer cos of him. That’s what matters.

I woke up feeling weirdly emotional about the football. For those of you not following England are in the final of #EURO2020 . Which is massive. And as a Black Londoner it feels... complicated. I want to try and explain why.
