Our landmark Judicial Review is a HUGE moment for not only survivors and victims of sexual abuse, victims and survivors of grooming gangs or victims and survivors of VAWG…. This impacts survivors of ALL systemic failures and underpins the value of ANY public enquiry….. If governments refuse to honour their commitments, to accept and implement recommendations of even a 7 year statutory enquiry that heard from 7000 victims/survivors, and are arguing tomorrow that recommendations “ARE NO MORE THAN RECOMMENDATIONS AND DO NOT CARRY ANY LEGAL FORCE”…. and it’s their CHOICE whether or not to bring in these changes, then the question has to be asked - why then are we going into yet another public enquiry led by @annelongfield when there’s no promise of action!! And that’s not the fault of any panel, it’s the governments lack of action afterwards!!! And this is also very relevant to all survivors everywhere of other public enquiries….of @PostOffice scandal, @grenfellinquiry @covidinquiryuk etc etc and is exactly what families in the Nottingham enquiry are saying, Hillsborough and now the death of Henry Novak… where is @andyburnham “duty of candour” in all this fiasco!! This case has far reaching consequences so please support and share our stand for ordinary people being failed by successive governments. Being promised action when none ever follows…. Lots more to be said but read my opinion piece below. We’re at The Royal Courts of Justice tomorrow, 9.30am so please come and support this action….. @TMOFCharity is having to fight this for every survivor who has been given false hope, false promises and is to protect future generations of children from being similarly failed in the years ahead….

BREAKING RIGHT NOW: THE GUARDIAN NAMES DAVID WALLIAMS

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse. Heavy rain. Flooded tents. The reality on the ground is heartbreaking. The UK government will not stand by. We will not rest until we bring an end to the intolerable suffering.

John Lewis marketing team meeting after seeing M&S Christmas advert with James Norton this morning.

‘I think that’s really crass-‘ ’That’s the accusation being made against you!’ Labour’s Lisa Nandy defends a government press release that linked a student exchange scheme with the EU to Remembrance Sunday to @Lewis_Goodall.

Santa has shaved off his beard for the M&S Christmas ad ★★★★★ James Norton plays Santa, talked by Mrs Claus (Lucy Punch) into losing the beard and the red suit for an M&S wardrobe so he can see a British Christmas undercover.

Despite the fact BOTH of you have said in separate interviews that THERE IS an agreement. Despite the fact that you have only started to criticise the Tories since Badenoch’s disastrous interview last weekend. Despite the fact that you repeatedly don’t stand in elections where the Tories are defending seats. Pull the other one.🙄

I want to address an allegation directly, because Reform politicians seem determined to spread the idea that I am somehow working in coordination with the Conservative Party and Kemi Badenoch. Yes, I was a member of the Conservative Party. In 1993. My children have since been born and grown up. It was more than thirty years ago. Literally, a lifetime ago. Many of the Reform leadership certainly can’t say the same. Yes, I've met Kemi Badenoch. I speak to her occasionally. I like her personally. We have worked together in Parliament. She spoke positively about our rape gang inquiry, and I thanked her for it. Numerous Conservative MPs have supported my parliamentary work, including our inquiry. Esther McVey. Nick Timothy. Jack Rankin. Peter Bedford. I could go on. I am not going to apologise for that. I will work with anyone in Parliament who is prepared to help deliver meaningful change. We have achieved results by doing precisely that. Does that mean I forgive the Conservatives for what they did to Britain between 2010 and 2024? Absolutely not. It was a betrayal. I have literally established a national political party to fight them at the ballot box. I am delighted when we beat them, which is a growing amount. All that should be a fairly substantial clue… But opposing a political party does not require you to behave like a petulant child towards every single person associated with it. Conservative MPs believed I would do a good job on the Public Accounts Committee. I accepted the opportunity to scrutinise government spending and fight for British taxpayers. Again, absolutely no apologies. I think we have delivered results. Now let's compare that with Reform. Reform tried to have me imprisoned over false allegations. I would be in prison today if they had their way. Despite everything, I have repeatedly attempted to work with Reform MPs in Parliament. I have invited them to support initiatives, collaborate on important issues and help deliver results. Time and again, those invitations have been ignored. My emails don’t even get a reply. I happily sign their motions and support their efforts, I did earlier this week. The feeling is not mutual. They complain. They moan. They attack. They endlessly manufacture personal grievances. But ask them to put their animosities aside and actually achieve something together? Suddenly, it's total silence. I've received more constructive support in Parliament from Labour MPs than from Reform. Think about that. It is grievance politics at its most pathetic. Negative, unproductive and deeply unprofessional. My position is incredibly straightforward. At elections, we are opponents. In Parliament, we have a responsibility to get things done. I believe that is what our constituents want us to do. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think not. Reform claim we stand in more local council Reform seats than anyone else. Yes, because so many more Reform councillors resign in disgrace than any other party. We are moving towards standing in 100% of local council by-elections. We’ve stood in Reform seats, Labour seats, Tory seats. Everywhere and anywhere. I intend to fight both Reform and the Conservatives for every vote. I want Restore Britain to win over millions of people who previously voted for those parties. But that does not mean I have to insult everyone I disagree with, refuse to speak to political opponents or sabotage decent initiatives because somebody else might receive a little credit. I was elected to represent my constituents, not to participate in an endless Westminster playground feud. Do I like Kemi Badenoch and some other Conservative MPs personally? Yes. Will I work with them when it benefits the British people? Yes. Do I fundamentally oppose the Conservative Party's record and want Restore Britain to defeat them electorally? Yes. Their 14 years of power was an utter betrayal, and is largely responsible for the social, economic and demographic vandalism we have endured. All three things can be true. Any serious adult should be capable of understanding that. It is not difficult to comprehend. I will work with Conservatives. I will work with Labour. I will work with Reform, if they ever decide to behave constructively. Reform's increasingly nasty, brash and personally unpleasant approach to politics says far more about them than it does about me. It’s just downright rude. They seem to believe that refusing to work with anyone is a demonstration of strength. In my view, it’s a weakness that erodes our politics and fails our constituents. I have said it again and again. I will work with anyone in parliament to deliver for the British people. And I make no apologies for doing so.

🚨 BREAKING: £222,200 For Therapeutic and Wellbeing Services For Asylum seekers. This Labour Cabinet Member for Resources appears very focused on Wolverhampton’s priorities! 😪 Under my leadership, @reformparty_uk 🇬🇧 will insist that public funding delivers for local residents first - whether that means cleaner streets, better neighbourhoods or therapeutic and wellbeing services for #British people who are increasingly struggling to access any type of support. facebook.com/share/p/1E8GLUk…
