"Tackling child poverty is in the DNA of the Labour Party"

Govt minister Heidi Alexander said this on #trevorphillips & repeated it on #bbclaurak

A reminder that last year Starmer suspended several Labour MPs from the Parliamentary Labour Party for voting to scrap the two child benefit cap.

Nish nails it, just before having a rage stroke:

"You can deport all of us... it is not going to deal with… grotesque economic inequality… a bottomless pit of hate… people that thought Shabana Mahmood was a fucking Paki this morning, think she's a fucking Paki tonight."

Anyone remember when Starmer said this, and everyone said how great he was leaving the performative cruelty behind? Why is he now proposing a policy for refugees that he called racist and cruel barely a month ago?

Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.

Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.

Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.
