When criticised for taking the winter fuel payment off poor pensioners the govt say the state pension will go up by £450 in April - AFTER THE WINTER! And that’s an annual rise not a lump sum like the winter fuel allowance!! And it is for someone receiving a full state pension.

So a tax dodger inadvertently draws attention to an easy tax dodge for the super wealthy - gets caught out - tries to.imply its all 'BBC bias' . Meanwhile some not so clever people ignore the fact they can't afford anything and there are no public services , crumbling schools,…

Fair play to @vicderbyshire for standing firm against the the boorish, intimidatory antics of a clearly rattled Jeremy Clarkson. “So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?” Charlatan.

Reminder - as if it were needed - that Starmer's Government inherited a situation in which hardly anything worked or was fit for purpose. That is not turned around in a matter of mere months. They have 5 years to make a positive difference to a long-standing malaise.

Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them. They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet. Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States. Leave women alone.

I asked the Minister for Indigenous Australians whether she will take action against the destruction of Larrakia Country at Middle Arm. As always with Labor, I heard no clear commitment to real action for our people. I will continue to call on the Minister to do better.

Am sticking around here, but also as richardosman1 on the other place. Because at Christmas I like to buy Quality Street AND Roses.

John Prescott was Tony Blair’s shield, salesman & conscience - the Northern, working class, party loyalist who allowed the public school educated son of an aspiring Conservative MP to re-make his party. Prescott was the Labour in New Labour.

While the Tories try to rewrite history and reinvent the past – we are fixing the mess they left and investing in the future of our country.

JP RIP … there was nobody else like him. Tony could not have had a better deputy. Labour could not have had a better campaigner. The government could not have had a better negotiator and - yes, often, peacemaker. Hull could not have had a better MP. Of course he was combative…
