Fourteen years of Tory rule have demonstrated that our country is not run for the benefit of the 68 million of us but for the benefit a handful of rich and powerful people, who have used public money as their personal piggy bank.

Never forget it.

And never vote for them again.

“The way a government treats its refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”

If the Tories can pass a law to say an unsafe place is safe, they can pass legislation to say you were not raped when you were, you are not disabled when you are in a wheelchair; you are not poor when you cannot feed your family… A dangerous threshold has been passed.

The Tory government lying about defence spending is only going to make Putin think the UK is a laughable adversary. How does that make our country safer?

The bottom line is that too many Tory MPs are landlords so they will never pass legislation to support tenants.

Always the interests of the rich and powerful are served rather than the interests of the other 68 million of us.

This MUST change.

👀 List of Tories supporting one of the key amendments to water down the Renters Reform Bill. What does the (R) by names mean? Registered interests. Looks like landlords turning out in force to scupper a bill that was meant to protect renters' interests, not their own finances

There is serious and credible evidence the Israeli Govt is breaking international law. UK Govt has admitted in court it’s got no response from Israeli Govt to questions it's asked about it, yet just now at Dowden basically says we just need to trust them? Not good enough.

A reminder that there were practically zero small boat crossings before Britain left the European Union. There are reasons for that, but no one talks about - one of them is the Dublin agreement that allowed returns.
