Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking go‼️🙌🌊🇺🇸

Well done Merton. Let’s hope more councils follow suit in dealing with rogue private landlords…

Does anyone know what’s going on here (and why David Blunket is so concerned)🤔
questions-statements.parliam… I am so very sorry that I underestimated the powerful, unelected and non-parliamentary forces which continue to be ranged against choice for post-16 young people across the country. I am sad, not because I appear to have lost, but because of the tens of thousands of young people affected. Those who have campaigned so vigorously will not be the losers. It is the young people, whose options and choices will no longer exist. Perhaps, just perhaps, the limited review will save some options from September 2025. However, if the internal review itself is conducted by those who have already made their minds up, the outcome will be a foregone conclusion.

Damage limitation exercise. Not sure why Starmer chose to highlight Bangladesh given not significant in terms of illegal immigrants coming across channel and size of community in his own constituency 🤔
I've been made aware of the video that's been circulating. As a proud member of the British Bangladeshi community, known to you all, I felt compelled to say something:

Portsmouth North’s next MP. Penny Mordaunt can’t compete with this👍👍
I’m Amanda Martin and Portsmouth matters to me. It’s my home, where everyone I love lives. This is why I’m standing to be our next MP.

At this rate don’t be surprised if they find a new ‘Zinovieff’ letter before the General Election….
UK less safe under Starmer claims Sunak. Attlee might need the Gestapo warned Churchill - well that worked well for him in 1945 GE didn’t it? Would you trust this shower with anything? thetimes.co.uk/article/11bcf…

It’s impossible to understand why Greenwich willingly reduce their income from the Community level especially with student accommodation. Can anyone explain why?
Next week's Greenwich Cabinet will sign off submission of revised Community Infrastructure Levy rates. They seek to keep extremely low CIL rates on student housing development and at a level far below many similar London boroughs. This will cost millions in income.

This man should not be a member of the Labour Party…
Don’t go to MPs homes. Of any party. Ever. If nothing else, it really won’t help your cause.

London pursuing hugely unpopular and uncoordinated set of LTNs by individual boroughs. If you want to reduce traffic in cities look to Paris where Mayor controls systematic reduction in through traffic and huge investment in public traffic. And guess what it’s popular..

Lock him up….
Douglas Barrowman's businesses made £100m+ mis-selling tax avoidance schemes on an industrial scale to people on modest incomes. We have new evidence that the schemes involved fraud against their clients and HMRC. Thread:

Another badge of shame for the current Government….

And why wasn’t all this funding directed at building council homes which is what the PWLB was originally established for?
My question is how on earth has the Public Works Loan Board let this happen? I can grasp the hubris of local politicians who wanted to play entrepreneur and thought the day job was too small for them, but why were the loans being signed off? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67707156.a…

Hope Mr Mone gets a mention 😊
I first spoke about the Loan Charge back in 2019. Looking forward to speaking in Parliament next week about the impact on thousands of social workers, nurses and other key workers + the failure by the Government to go after the promoters who made £££.

Would make sense for By-election for Labour to choose one of the existing PPCs for successor seats to soon to be abolished Kingswood. Given one is currently Mayor of Lewisham best to go with Filton and Bradley Stoke🤔
In a turn of events, the MP for the current Kingswood seat, where Keir & I spoke the day before…resigns More Tory chaos as this seat is abolished at the GE - some moving into Filton & Bradley Stoke. The Tories are asking people to vote for different MP candidates 2x *this year*
