my impression of a labour mp

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, denies it’s a duck, demands you prove it's a duck, accuses you of being a duck, says your dog is a duck, that your friend's cat is a duck & then JD Vance says it’s sofa, it’s a Kremlin duck 🦆

The NHS can’t survive on reform alone. It needs proper funding, not privatisation.

“Donald has made a Labrador Wellington with cat 3 ways, followed by a side of guinea pig in a Masterchef first.”

1: It is difficult to overstate how utterly unhinged the right’s reaction to Tuesday night’s presidential debate has been. I have never seen a collective freakout about the media this embarrassingly frivolous. 🧵

Thought this lot were supposed to be more competent than the last lot? Keir Starmer; “some of you may die… 👇”

‘Should Welsh leaders draw attention to the fomenting of discontent in Wales by English papers and English Tories? Yes they should. Should they expose the hypocrisy of these commentators? Of Andrew RT Davies? Yes they should’ Gwern Gwynfil nation.cymru/opinion/20-rea…

If only people were warned that they were untrustworthy ideologues! Who knew!?

Great example of why the House of Lords should be replaced by an elected chamber. This is an unelected aristocrat (who happens to be part of the governing party) agitating for *you* to have to *pay* for health care. Easy for a Lord to pay, but different story for you and I.

Have you noticed when Russia gets long range weapons from Iran and North Korea that it isn’t an escalation?

Russia is using US and UK politicians own words to help craft their disinformation narratives before using "useful idiots" to seed messages that make situations like the UK riots worse James O'Brien struggled to figure out which UK figures might fit that bill...

I believe in universal healthcare, free for all at the point of use.

Support for the two Westminster parties is now at 54%. Yet the UK’s outdated political system would see them take 80% of the seats. The UK’s power structures are designed to maintain the status quo. It’s time that ended.

This is soulful. 💔

Nigel Farage knows that what his Clacton constituents need most is for him to make yet another trip to the US, to speak at an event with an Austrian far-right pro-Putin MEP. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Maybe I’m a bit too idealistic 🤔😅 ‘an opportunity for politicians to show they are honest, they can be trusted, they will take sensible decisions in defiance of popular feeling and ill founded consternation whipped up by populists + the right wing press’ nation.cymru/opinion/20-rea…

EXCLUSIVE: Keir Starmer broke parliamentary rules by failing to declare that a donor bought designer clothes for his wife, Victoria. The PM faces an investigation after he did not disclose gifts from Lord Alli — peer who also buys his suits and glasses. thetimes.com/uk/arts/articl…

First thing that the algorithm has put on my feed today, from idiots corner… and it’s a whopper. Sometimes it’s hard to fathom how people can be that stupid.

Erm I’m sorry, there is a budget for his household living expenses; his massive salary. As out of touch as the last lot.

I think that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should pay for his own clothes
