How much did Rishi Sunak ‘s wife avoid paying in tax while she was living in the UK, married to a senior minister and claiming “non dom” status? My guess is probably more than £1500 every day! So if we’re talking about tax let’s start talking about some real sums. #SupportAngela

So a billionaire who lives in Belize (presumably to reduce his tax liability) writes a book trying to bring down a working class woman because she hasn’t paid at most £1500 tax. Same old Tories. Don’t play their game. #SupportAngela

Great news James! You’ll be a great candidate.

Well if Michael Gove wanted an Interim Chair of Office for Local Government (Oflog) who might help restore some credibility to the organisation I remain willing to serve………

Very sorry to hear that Richard Taylor has died. I worked with him closely in Southwark and admired his commitment to Damilola’s legacy and to making life better for young people. His passion and advocacy will be hugely missed. DamilolaTaylorTrust

Excellent speech from John Healey MP at Policy Exchange on how The Labour Party will deal with defence and the threats to the UK. A new approach to UK strategic defence headquarters and longer terms of office of Defence Chiefs will set the right framework for defence decisions.

£4.7 billion of reannounced money for the midlands and north of England does not amount to a transport policy. The government should revisit the ridiculous decision to abandon HS2 now.

Brilliant fundraising dinner tonight for Jen Craft with star turns from Dame Margaret Hodge and the always inspirational Wes Streeting MP Here’s to a Labour MP in Thurrock when the General Election comes

Some great and interesting work on Mission Led government from the The Future Governance Forum - at the heart of the next The Labour Party government

This is great work and great news for South East London!

So the latest Electoral Calculus figures put Labour on 467 seats and the Tories on 99. Keep doing what you’re doing Rishi Sunak (another Tweet for UK Prime Minister to get worked up about!)

I’ve got to say that Rishi Sunak and his flip chart was one of the worst Party Political Broadcasts I’ve ever seen. Patronising and mildly offensive. For future reference Rishi you might want to mention the Truss government as part of the context for why Britain is bust now.

The case for the Bakerloo Line Extension is clear - government should now get behind it.

My (mis)adventures with Oflog - no place for an independent and challenging voice. linkedin.com/posts/peter-jo…

Having worked with her for a number of years I know that Brenda would make a great Mayor of Lewisham. Good luck!

Lewisham made me who I am today. Now, I’m proud to announce that I’m standing to be our next Labour Mayor.

It’s been a honour to serve as your Deputy Mayor for the last two years, but I know how much more needs to be done to give everyone in our community the life they deserve.

Good luck James. You will be a great candidate and MP

Great to see Damien Egan selected to be The Labour Party candidate in this by-election. He’s been a great Mayor of Lewisham and will be a great MP for Kingswood.

So the Spring Budget 2024 will be on 6th March. That’s 9 days earlier than 2023 and 17 days earlier than 2022. Surely can’t be linked to keeping the option open for a General Election on May 2nd 2024??
