Just listened to Hannah Spencer's victory speech following yesterday's by election. It seems that socialism isn't dead. It does appear however, to have changed colour. Well done Hannah and the people of Gorton and Denton. youtube.com/watch?v=UJFVw_p6…

I don't give a flamin' damn whether Maccabi fans or Jewish or not. There's a sizeable element amongst them who are violent thugs intent on inciting racism. We don't want them in our football stadiums or on our streets

Public service announcement. The NHS doesn't need league tables. Providing quality healthcare has never been a competitive sport

.@UKLabour need to tax the rich and close down loopholes that enable corporations to evade the tax they should be paying. There is no good moral or financial argument for making disabled and vulnerable people pay the price to protect the wealth of the super rich.

📷 Right I know I'm a bit drunk and earlier I said I'm feeling a bit tetchy, but No I don't want a peri-menopause app for my phone No I don't want a menopause app for my phone No II don't want a post-menopause app for my phone Just leave me and my flamin' phone a-f***ing-lone

Just watching Robert Jenrick's interview for Kemi Badenoch's job on @bbclaurak Not sure whether, even the Tories want someone with that big an ego

Was part of an interesting conversation at the gym this morning. Apparently (alcoholic content aside) you can have three rums (or vodka) and pepsi max for the same calories as a glass of wine. Now there's a Saturday night challenge if ever I saw one.

Putting Streeting and Milburn in charge of the NHS is a clear indication by @UKLabour that the private sector is being enabled to pick off all the elements of you healthcare that they can convert into profit. It gives a whole new meaning to a party on the 'side of business'.

Let's be honest. Working a stressful job for low pay is far more likely to be a cause of poor mental health than a cure. Rather than cutting benefits, let's make employers improve working conditions and pay people properly..... and we could even them them pay their taxes!

Tax the flamin' rich. You know it makes sense!

Behold! The perfect tweet to illustrate why we still need #InternationalWomensDay in 2025

Had a lovely morning in the sunshine celebrating #InternationalWomensDay with these wonderful women from @StocktonNLabour All detrmined to make the world a better place for everyone

Well said Chris McDonald. As if being a victim of child sexual abuse hasn't been devastating enough. Local Conservative activists using that misery to try and score cheap points against their political rivals is just doubling down on that abuse. Survivors deserve so much better

Men on @bbclaurak, weaponising the grooming gangs story to attack other men. Girls were abused horrifically, let down by the system and now they're being abused again by men for political gain. Patriarchy is alive and kicking and being aired on our Sunday. morning tv!

Have spent flamin' ages today crafting this box of hand made crackers with their hand made contents to send off to family. Only to flamin' find that you can't flamin' send hand made crackers in the flamin' post. Apparently they're classed as flamin' incendiary devices!

Spent a wintry afternoon watching Joy, the film about how IVF and the people who worked so hard o to make sure it happened became the wonder of science that helps create families. And I flamin' cried... buckets netflix.com/gb/title/8170171…

After the summer unrest in Middlesbrough, there's been a lot going on to support communities to stand together against those using hate and division for political gain. Join us and your neighbours to help make our communities places where people feel safe and care for each other

I wasn't planning on creating any felt creatures for Christmas this year, but blimey. Looks what's gone and happened. Let's hope it doesn't get out of hand.
