It’s our chant for Pickford - “He’s a mackem, he’s a blue, he’s a toffee through and through, he hates Newcastle, he hates the shite, Jordan Pickford is dynamite”. It’s not about use. Stay in your lane 👋

The UK does not have a welfare crisis. It does, instead, have politicians who want to scapegoat the most vulnerable people in our society. Unscrupulous neoliberal politicians and commentators are our problem. Those in need are not #bbcqt

#OTD 1948. Harold Wilson emerges as a national figure as he announces his 'Bonfire of Controls' outlining how clothing rationing will be relaxed. Rationing on suits, footwear, plastics and knitted bathing costumes abolished. He admits that he “wishes” he could do more.

It's utterly pathetic the way BBC presenters like Victoria Derbyshire are told by BBC bosses to say to outspoken interviewees like Bernie Sanders things like "President Trump and his family would deny they are corrupt", or "The Israeli Government would deny they are extremist". It's gross over-reaction to Trump libel action against the BBC.

Outside the Supreme Court, where the Palestine Action appeal hearing closed for the day, a man was arrested for saying, "In the UK, it's a crime to say, I support Palestine Action". Police reportedly said it was due to the length of the pause between "crime to say" and "I support.."

As Labour Coalfields MPs we are seeking to expedite the transfer of the £1.2 Billion remaining in the MPS Reserve Fund to retired miners, however we note with contempt Reform UK’s attempt to hijack this issue for the sake of political point-scoring. 🙄 Full statement below:👇

Nancy Mace: I am not a bigot... I've said [El-Sayed] was jihad adjacent. Omar Baddar: There is a contradiction, is that he is simultaneously supposedly undercover a Muslim Brotherhood guy and also pro-trans rights and pro-choice. These things don't go together.

The biggest benefits claimant in the UK. They claim an eye watering £17,500,000,000 a year. The same as 4.4m people on benefits. How? Because they claim ALL their costs, every wage, every oil rig, every tanker. Completely nationalised, but the profits are Privatised.
At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

Palestine Action activists used similar tactics to the suffragettes, court told “Palestine Action never advocated for violence against the person and the home secretary has never advocated – and could not advocate – to the contrary." theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

March 12 marks the day when Tigran Ohanyan and Mykyta Khanganov, two 16-year-old schoolboys from Berdiansk, first said “no” to the occupiers by tearing down a pole with the russian tricolor. It was the beginning of their heroic resistance. Later, the russian occupation authorities opened a case against them for “terrorism.” They were abducted, tortured, and held under constant pressure. On June 24, 2023, russian forces shot them dead in occupied Berdiansk. They didn’t give up. We will not forget. In 2025, they were posthumously awarded Ukraine’s Order of Freedom for their courage. 🇺🇦 Glory to the heroes! 🇺🇦
