🚨 NEW: The Lib Dems have reported the BBC to Ofcom for giving "undue prominence" to Reform UK in its coverage of the UK-France deal yesterday
At #PMQs @Keir_Starmer said the UK had the highest growth in the G7 in the first quarter of this year. This is correct. We’re tracking the government’s pledge for the “highest sustained growth” in the G7 here👇 fullfact.org/government-tra…
If the UK Government are condemning the actions of the IDF, why are we still training their soldiers?
A few people have asked me what I think of this list. Some of the items are realistic. Some (including the big ticket items) are not. Some are too vague to assess.
The problem is an exploitative, extractive economic system rigged against most people and our planet. The solution is not further cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth instead. 10 alternative proposals to disability benefit cuts from Labour MPs last week, totalling up to £120bn:
During Sunak’s premiership, we had a pledges tracker & now @DanielJDunford has tracked some of PM Starmer’s key pledges from cutting NHS waiting lists to improving living standards, building 1.5m homes. I found it super useful and interesting > news.sky.com/story/one-year…
EXCLUSIVE: I understand Jeremy Corbyn has not agreed to join the new left party with Zarah Sultana yet He is furious and bewildered at the way it has been launched without consultation.
Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party. Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country. Join us. The time is now. Sign up here to stay updated: actionnetwork.org/forms/join-tea…
You couldn’t make it up.

Donald Trump threatens to deport @elonmusk, Musk has a single opportunity to do things right and tell the world how Trump stole the election & other criminal offences. Will Musk finally do the right thing or will he embarrassingly bend the knee to Trump? Musk be a man , stand up…
Labour is rescuing the NHS faster than anyone predicted. The latest stats show their strategy is creating tangible improvements – and a brutal reality check for the Tories and Reform. 5 undeniable signs of progress:
Just on Times Radio talking about the Green Party wealth tax proposal. The usual populist stuff about magically raising lots of money from Other People. But in reality the Green Party manifesto raised marginal income tax rate to *72%* for a graduate with three kids earning £60k.
🔴The ‘Millionaire Exodus’ the UK Media Told You About Never Actually Happened The equivalent of 30 stories a day were published about an exodus of wealthy people that a new study finds was “non existent” @josiahmortimer reports bylinetimes.com/2025/06/10/the…
A massive congratulations to our newest MSP, Davy Russell! The road to a new direction for Scotland in 2026 with Anas Sarwar as First Minister begins here.
What Carla Denyer is objecting to here isn't the @EHRC interim update, it's the law. Parliament makes the law, here on single-sex spaces. The Supreme Court has provided clarification on what the law means. The EHRC has reflected that. Worrying to see MPs not understanding this.
This morning @thegreenparty has called for the EHRC’s harsh and ill-considered guidance on single-sex spaces to be withdrawn. As it stands the guidance puts trans people at risk of discrimination and violence and clearly hasn’t been drawn up with trans people’s input. I’ll be…
Promises made, promises delivered.
The Tories have looked the other way while water companies have pumped a tidal wave of raw sewage into our waters. Britain needs change. My government will make law-breaking water bosses face criminal charges.
BBC News live from Birmingham. Maybe if you explained the issue around equal pay instead of pointlessly travelling up just to stand by a pile of rubbish.
Yellow line: massive Tory cuts planned pre-election Blue line: Labour's plans in the Budget Around £100 billion of extra investment in our country's future over this Parliament! A return to austerity this is most certainly not.

There is literally not a single country in the history of the world that has raised such sums from a wealth tax.
We’re out and about across the UK today to tell MPs and constituents that our country is missing out on £460m a week without a wealth tax. @RachelReevesMP doesn’t need to make cuts, instead she can tax the richest people like us to build a better Britain. #TaxOurWealth
