Does anyone honestly think any other party would be able to be this chaotic yet still be in power? Tories get to play ruling the UK on Easiest setting. Whatever happens that inequity remains unchallenged.

The Carer’s Leave Bill by @wendychambLD passed its second reading in the House of Commons today.
The Bill will put it into law the provision to allow employees to take time off to care for someone with a long-term need.
We welcome this move and look forward to seeing progress. twitter.com/wendychambld/s…

No, we’re paying the price of 43 years of anti-democratic, authoritarian and dehumanising politics. And sure as shit you won’t shift the dial on that.
Quote Tweet
Britain deserves better than this revolving door of Tory chaos.
The British people are paying the price for 12 years of failure.
It's time for a general election and a Labour government.

There’s no stealth about it. The government are brazen. They will do anything they can to avoid criticism and clamp down on protests.
Quote Tweet
Britain is becoming a police state by stealth. The draconian & deeply undemocratic #PublicOrderBill just cleared the Commons - 283 in favour, 234 against. Ironically, can only hope the unelected Lords will stand up against this dangerous & populist Govt and vote it down.

It was a conceptually failed act, find an artist that represents capitalism and throw oil at a work. Jeff Koons maybe. Or Rembrandt. If you need to explain it so much it’s a clue it was poorly conceived.

Were you outraged by the @JustStop_Oil protesters throwing soup at a painting?
I interviewed them about their side of the story.
What they said will challenge everything you thought about the protest
