Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

Climate Denying. The next Brexit for Reform to exploit. The usual childish drivel about growing grapes for wine. Yes, social care is also in crisis. Multiple things can be true. But not moving fwd to protect our kids from climate breakdown is morally bankrupt & fiscally irresponsible.
"County Durham council, presently dominated by Reform UK, is now thought to have become the first council in the country, to revoke its climate declaration."

A reminder: The ‘costs’ of the employment rights bill include giving low paid workers the right to sick pay from day one.

How many execs or senior managers in the big outsourcing companies who signed this letter have to worry about paying the bills if they take a day off sick?

Says the man who gave us the biggest tax burden since the War, highest ever national debt, largest fall in living standards on record and committed the biggest act of self-harm in our history with Brexit. Time to shut the fuck up you shambling oaf.

All the people complaining that the police have said the Liverpool driver was white British are the same people who made it necessary for the police to say he was white British.

Sharing a beer and a smoke with fifty something white blokes isn't an insight into the Northern working class.
It's an insight into the shallowness of Farage's understanding of the North.
Excl: Nigel Farage will challenge Sir Keir Starmer to accompany him on a visit to a working men’s club in the north of England to see who connects better with working people, as the Reform UK leader makes his pitch to traditional Labour voters.
