So the Tories have 'lost' the majority of asylum seekers earmarked for removal to Rwanda. Thousands of vulnerable people now on the streets. What a way to run a country!

My piece in the Evening Standard on why I will be voting for Sadiq Khan on 2 May.

When politicians of the right say enough is enough, many people can be saved from hardship.

Here 👇John McCain saves the healthcare of millions of poorer Americans during Trump's presidency as he gives the thumbs down.

Maybe Dan Poulter is in this tradition.

Angela Rayner, an authentic working-class woman soon to be in a position of real power. She will inspire many and represent the interests of many more!

You've gotta laugh.

Marie Antoinette: 'Let them Eat Cake'.

Ben Habib: 'Let them Drown'.

Wow... Ben Habib explains that Reform's small boats policy is basically to let people drown. Awful.

They went to celebrate British culture apparently!

Nice Italian beer though!

Rishi Sunak went to Poland to announce that defence spending would rise to 2.5% of GDP by 2030.

This was already announced by Boris Johnson in 2022. None of the media in attendance mentioned this obvious fact.

Today Sunak announced something on defence spending that Johnson had already announced in 2022.

Media: 'Major new announcement from Sunak on Defence Spending'

Poor old Reform UK

Conservatives got Brexit done.

Conservatives got #Rwanda done.

Conservatives got Inflation done.

We’ll get The Labour Party done.

So much written about the Taylor Swift tour, I'm reminded of the incredible spectacle I saw in 1979 when as a kid I saw Kate Bush live. Absolute theatre. Amazing. Did anyone else see it?

The Tories tonight trying to force through a law that will see brave Afghans who fought alongside us being sent to Rwanda. Fill me with disgust it really does. Please vote @UkLabour so we can regain our dignity as a country.

So it seems Gideon Falter is a classic 'agent provocateur'.

The last thing this country needs is to be ruled by public school posh boys trying to con the public they are 'men of the people'. Reform are public school posh boys and failed Tories.

Ukraine needs to be supplied with missiles that will hit Russian cities. At the moment Russia is getting free hits against Ukrainian cities. If they suffered return hits they may stop their aggression and return to their legal borders.

In December 2019 we elected a crime wave hiding under the #GetBrexitDone cover.

The Tory Party is finished. The age at which you are more likely to vote Tory than Labour has now reached 70.

OK, so my shout is that Sunak will call the General Election after the Rwanda legislation has become law but before it fails. This means a summer election.
