Woke up this morning feeling very nervous as it was my oncology review today.
However I have been told that the cancer is now in remission 🥳

All that radiotherapy was worth it. Many thanks to the wonderful people on bluesky who supported me through it. Your messages meant more than you can know.

So as our country’s key businesses are ‘cyber’ attacked by Russia and China. We have Reform and the Tories attacking everything the Labour government does. Along with their pals in the media. This is not normal. This is dangerous.

Patriotism is about wanting the best for your country and all of the people in it. Attaching to a lamppost a flag made in China and paid for by a New Zealand billionaire isn't patriotic. Shouting at a hotel becuase it houses desperate refugees isn't patriotic.

It's not hard people.

“Starmer had no part in the peace plan”

“Starmer is complicit in this all and has done nothing to help”

Starmer announces the UK will hold a 3 day rebuilding Gaza conference with other world leaders.

See how the facts are completely different to the reality you hear from both the right and left?

#FullFact real-time Government Tracker updated today.
It now shows Labour delivered (or are on track to deliver) 57 of 83 Election pledges.
This is an extraordinary achievement in just 15 months in power.
The Tories managed just 3 (one partially) in 5yrs

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

I really like this use of big data to go after unpaid tax.

I know it's just one of a range of measures the Labour government has worked on to go after unpaid tax.

And the impact in year 1: £4.6bn tax collected through this system, 35% higher than the average under the Tories.

‘Big data’ helps HMRC increase UK tax haul by £4.6bn

Connect system uses multiple sources of information to spot cases of underpayment

It isn't patriotic to say that the British people should have their human rights taken away from them.
This shouldn't need saying, but it seems it does.

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

(So many shameless hypocrites around.)
