Busiest day of announcements I can remember. Our Labour Government do more in a day than the Tories did in 14 years.
Our workers are better protected, our Politics will be better protected and our BBC will be updated. And that’s not to mention house building 👏👏👏

Because it is rarely mentioned when everyone talks about how terrible everything is.

I like the idea of #WorldsApart, but the challenges are so unequal. The fish-identification and saki challenges had basically told them all the answers an hour or so previously whereas if you weren’t familiar with the songs in the karaoke challenge you had no chance. They should be randomly assigned
