You wondered why the Tory media were going after Labour over frocks and footie tickets? This is why:

The reality is it doesn't matter. Labour has a majority of 170 plus; no election is coming. The Tories are in disarray & possibly going out of existence as they chase the hard right. Farage can grift, he can't lead. Corbyn's done Starmer will be fine theguardian.com/politics/202…

A lady called into LBC to say she was furious at Starmer for accepting donations… She then went on to say Boris Johnson was an angel in comparison These people shouldn’t be allowed scissors.

If Keir Starmer's Labour Government can achieve all of this in just two months, I'm looking forward to the next 4-5 years:

We have the most working class government in British political history and they’re being painted as scroungers. The performative outage from Tory client journalists reeks of hypocrisy and classism. If there was evidence of corruption or impropriety - I’d be outraged. There isn’t.

Lots of rule-breaking: 'Ha ha ha! Boris is Boris.' No rule-breaking: 'Starmer is undermining standards'. Starmer is not Boris. This is why he is now the Prime Minister. Do stop this nonsense.

Keir Starmer gives his Chief of Staff a pay rise… The Times leads with it. Boris Johnson tries to hire his girlfriend as his Chief of Staff… The Times speaks with Johnson’s team and then pulls the story. Pathetic.

"I should just point out that when Boris Johnson got donors to pay for his wedding, his holidays, decorating his flat, takeaway meals and accommodation, it was a one-off" #bbcqt

#PoliticsLive This is the BBC's political editor; Chris Mason. Does it matter that he's paid approximately £100,000 more than the Prime Minister and approximately £90,000 more than Sue Gray?

Oh. "...the Speaker's Office and Parliament's security team have dismissed his claims, saying they have no recollection of telling Mr Farage that he should not hold in-person surgeries in his constituency." lbc.co.uk/news/nigel-farage-…

Interesting… they could stay and help fix it… lightweights.
Sophia, daughter of 9th Baron Latymer, of the Coutts family who founded the private bank ... says proudly that 'all of her friends' are millionaires and 'they're all leaving'.

Hypocrite. You were described as the architect of austerity. On your watch the UK became the first country to face a UN inquiry into human rights abuses against disabled people. The UN said “ideological” cuts to public services since 2010 led to “tragic consequences”

Hundreds of millions of pounds of profit are being extracted from children's homes by private equity and other owners. This week’s The Rest is Money podcast is a special episode on the disastrous deterioration of support for families in crisis and the escalating scandal of private-sector residential care for children removed from parents lnk.to/TheRestIsMoneyRP

Look, everyone knows Brexit was a massive mistake. The Tories realise it was a massive mistake but can never admit the folly of their ways. Labour know it was a massive mistake but are unable to come clean with the British people. The dogs in the street know, everyone knows.

"Billpayers in England and Wales tricked into ‘stealth bailout’ of water companies." You're about to be had, again and the regulator is facilitating it. Everyone admits it, for 35 years water companies have been provided with all of the funding needed to build a properly function sewage system but they ripped us off, shareholders took the money. Now they're asking us to pay a second time for a service we've already paid for and din't get. theguardian.com/business/202…

Nobody cared about leaving the EU until they said they would crackdown on Tax Havens. Then Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Rupert Murdoch and Lord Rothermere told you it was the most important thing ever.

Received two emails today - one from France saying that electric bills are going down "to follow the global trend of falling energy prices". I received another from my UK supplier telling me that prices are going up "due to the global cost of energy". We're being taken for mugs
