The opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics was 13 years ago today in London; what a wonderful time for our city and country that was.
n I signed up to Jeremy Corbyn's new political party because I feel totally disenfranchised by Starmer's version of the Labour Party.
In just over 5 hours, more than 80,000 people have signed up to help build a new kind of political party. We believe in democracy — and the establishment are running scared. We’re offering people something very precious: hope. Sign up at yourparty.uk.
It's time for a new kind of political party - one that belongs to you. Sign up at yourparty.uk.
n I've just signed up to Jeremy Corbyn's new party on yourparty.uk Anything has got to be better than what we currently have supposedly representing those at the bottom of the pile.
nSo, as I understand it, the government has spent £7bn relocating and supporting Afghans without the consent of Parliament while cutting billions from benefits that support disabled British citizens. The exchequer would have a lot more dosh in the coffers if we stopped getting…
🏴England. 100 years. A small island that changed the world: We cracked DNA (Crick), made IVF (Edwards), built the jet engine (Whittle), invented the web (Berners-Lee), and brought penicillin to the masses (Oxford team). We beat the Nazis with radar, codebreaking (Turing), and…
My full support to my Labour colleagues who have been suspended over opposition to disability cuts. Alongside nearly 50 of us, they were simply standing up for their disabled constituents and following their consciences. Challenging policies that harm our communities, that…
I am appalled by the suspension of Rachael Maskell, Neil Duncan-Jordan, Brian Leishman and Chris Hinchliff. Like me — and 44 other Labour MPs — they voted against a policy that would push 100,000s of disabled people into poverty. This isn’t the first time the leadership has…
On this day, July 16th 1969, we were “GO” for launch – and at precisely 13:32 UTC, #Apollo11 lifted off from @NASAKennedy to transport three mortal Americans – Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and myself – to the Moon. The hard work, dedication and focus across the entire @NASA…
I came to this country took Asylum and I wear the Union Jack with PRIDE 🇬🇧 So it makes my blood boil when I see British teachers telling British kids they can’t wear their own flag! WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY ARE WE BECOMING? Why is showing pride in Britain seen as a problem? If the…
I'm putting a tenner on the next host being a drag queen.
Have I got this right? The BBC has fired @JohnTorode1 because he allegedly made a racially insensitive comment in a bar EIGHT YEARS ago, that he immediately apologised for, and now doesn’t remember ever saying? Salem wants its witch trials back.
How many other 'super injunctions' are currently in force? #Transparency
This is utterly appalling. Why would anyone need to know who has a Motability Vehicle? This is the chain of events that's been unleashed based on the decisions made in Parliament about Welfare Reforms! Are MP's content with the growing hate & abuse targeted at Disabled People?
This is disgusting. Why would they set up a site to do this - when they know it will ramp up attacks on Motability owners and their vehicles?
Given that Gregg Wallace's misconduct occurred over a considerable period of time, do you think that his MBE should be rescinded? #MasterChefCelebrity #Honours #BBC
Four years and three months for the deliberate destruction of an irreplaceable icon of our national natural heritage - ridiculously lenient in my view!! #SycamoreGap #sycamoregaptree
I’ve stubbed my toe. So I rang up the DWP and they’re sending me this:
