Why is this independent MP pretending he is part of the Labour Party in his bio?

Great news for progressives around the world that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have defeated Trump.
Lets work together internationally to build a better, fairer, greener, peaceful and more equal world.

Spitting on an Asian because of the coronavirus, from an anti masker, is literally a hate crime. twitter.com/HolyCow_Inc/st

I often wonder why parliament is such a mess. Then I realise the bar for being a front bench politician is and it all makes sense.
Imagine being so incompetent you accidentally resign 🤦🏻♂️😂

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but JK Rowling doesn’t care what you think
So we can now add chucking a bicycle at a police horse on Whitehall to the list of things that will stop police violence in the United States.

I mean there were front page stories about Boris stealing money from the government and beating his gf for the whole election. Blaming the ‘msm’ us people looking for excuses.
For anyone still harping that the tone of feeling for Meghan Markle is a race issue. Wallis Simpson was white.

And before anyone says Corbyn got a rough ride from the press so didn’t get a fair shot. Let’s remember for 3/4 of the election campaign there were front page stories saying that Boris beat up his girlfriend and defrauded money from the tax payer.

Says a lot of the sheer incompetence of @jeremycorbyn, that when in a time like this it’s the journalists, the Morgan’s and the Beth Rigby’s that are holding the government to account and putting pressures on weaknesses.

Face masks won’t help you. Please please don’t buy them or there’s a shortage for hospitals. COVID19 is 👏🏻 airborne 👏🏻. And you get get it through your eyes. Face masks are literally pointless unless you already have it

This is getting a lot of traction today. But worth remembering this is exactly what were pushing for as the norm in the last election. Mental #4dayworkingweek #covid19UK

The irony of this coming from an Irishman isn’t lost on anyone is it?

Do not feel sorry for Caroline Flack.
This wasn’t the media.
This wasn’t ITV.
This wasn’t even #loveisland .
She assaulted and threatened to kill her last two boyfriends and ruined her life by doing so. She lost her job and was about to be sent to prison.
This ones on her.

And to the two boyfriends she beat up and threatened to kill. And the career she destroyed as a result.

Devastating news about Caroline Flack. Unbelievably sad. We all need to be nicer to eachother. Sending love and prayers to her family & friends. 
But seriously. Why is it always the people advocating for body positivity, and talking about the horrors of trolling that write stuff like this. Hypocrisy. twitter.com/jameelajamil/s

Why are we all pretending we thought Schofield was straight?

Thought the same thing. I don’t care about this. But I care about men and women who fall out of love with their partners, leave them for someone else or just want to get divorced. Still so much judgement. Double standard.

Imagine the uproar if Phillip Schofield had given a statement saying he was leaving his wife for another woman or had taken an interest in other women for 27 years. But because he's come out as gay he's stunning and brave 
Omg what a shock. Phillip Schofields just come out as gay. At this rate Tom Daley will be coming out next
