uh you realize that dense housing is literally what saves the woodlands by enabling more efficient allocation of housing and wildlife

Zarah Sultana has now reached the point where she bitterly hates the Labour Party so much she’d rather have Nigel Farage as PM than see Labour win the next election.

Deeply honoured to be selected as Labour’s candidate for Mayor of Tower Hamlets. This borough made me who I am and I’m ready to give back. With your support, we’ll deliver honest, compassionate leadership that puts our communities first. Join our movement for change. 🌹

Home from London after a very busy first year!!! It’s been a whirlwind & a huge privilege. See some of what I’ve been up to below. Looking forward to spending summer days across our towns & villages, starting tomorrow! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If a new boss came into my workplace and gave me 22% pay lift for the last two tears, and a 5% for the year ahead, I don't think I'd be striking.

Presumably Richard Holden has been placed at Shadow Transport due to his experience travelling the country looking for a safe Tory seat...

I once wrote in support of a planning application for a proposed 5G mast that would've been hidden behind trees taller than the mast itself, but the application was nonetheless rejected, because the mast (despite being hidden) would negatively impact the "character of the area".

Worried HR are a bit too close with your boss? Join a union.

It makes me wonder whether "Judeo-Christian" is a term deliberately invented specifically to mean "not Islam"

Police say China is among the adversary nations intensifying life-threatening operations in the UK. A reminder that China is STILL not in the Enhanced Tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme. 🙃 reuters.com/world/uk/russi…

I hope the Assisted Dying Bill is “completely different”. It should not have passed as it was drafted but that’s for others to wrestle with - and justify. We shouldn’t have sent a Bill to be “improved” or “corrected” to the House of Peers. We should have done it.

The British right is redefining ‘working class’ to include landowning farmers and business owners whilst denigrating unionised public sector workers as ‘parasites’.

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the sad passing of Sardar Fauja Singh Ji, who has passed away today. A legendary figure, he completed his last marathon at 101. His legacy will live on. My condolences go to all his family and friends in Ilford and around the world. #faujasingh

For too long it has been too easy to malign British Muslims, despite their ACTUAL records. It is good to see people taking a stand on the facts. 🚨Must read statement below from @Muhbeenhussain following false claims published today in The Sunday Times.

Those violating international law must be held to account. As famine spreads, we call on all parties in Sudan to let in aid now.

This has to be the epitome of English culture because why is the voiceover artist for the Jet2 holiday adverts now making festival appearances???? 😂
