Labour overturned my expulsion. Now I should be reinstated as an independent Deputy Leader.

Farage criticised over unproven claim white men are losing jobs because of the Equality Act In reality, people from ethnic minority backgrounds have higher unemployment rates than white people

When you look at the official statistics, Farage’s claim simply doesn’t hold up

When has nasty Nige ever cared about facts 🙄

NEU members at KCC's Specialist Teaching and Learning Service have voted to take strike action.

KCC brought the service back in-house in September and failed to consult staff on changes to their job roles - changes that impact SEND pupils across Kent.

Exclusive: Councils with the biggest SEND deficits are spending up to 58% more on private special schools this year, Tes analysis reveals

Reform UK’s mid-level governance is an utter disaster. Nevertheless, the media are pushing the idea of them in national government as if it would be any better. All of this happened just this week, yet journalists are obsessed with a fabricated ‘scandal of the century.’

Currently - The Price of Meat - BBC Sounds High meat prices have led to a boom in meat smuggling - a major risk to public health.

“With minimal resources, we are removing huge quantities with just 20% operational capacity”

Dover Port Health Authorty boss Lucy Manzano on BBC Radio 4 yesterday.

Illegal meat imports get worse day-by-day. Nothing has changed.

This is really interesting. During your unpaid lunch break, you can certainly do and go where you like. Schools might not like that but that’s the reality for all jobs, anywhere. You’re free to go out and get some lunch, go for a walk, or a run. If you must be available to work it’s not a break

24% of people who voted Labour at the last general election now plan to
vote Green or Lib Dem.

0% of those who voted Reform at the last election now plan to vote Labour.

Only those willing to admit that Britain is broken can truly begin to fix it.

Britain isn't broken.

You just hate multiculturalism and wish we were living in shitty 1942.

Be honest.

No bar, just a cut off date. There really isn’t a plan internally is there

Dear BBC, the word "not" seems to have been accidentally inserted into your headline...

Read this.

A scrappy indie outlet standing up to Farage’s bullyboy lawyers in a way that should shame better-funded outlets

And the impact this will have on industries like care, NHS, construction etc? We will soon find out if this has been clever

Telling or selling?

Did we really need a poll? I suppose there are some defending Musk and “free speech”

Interesting, because I was told by the water minister Emma Hardy that Elizabeth Rd is quite far away from Deal so can’t possibly affect water quality 🙄

I think calling out a crime (the production and spreading of child sexual abuse material) is right and proper. Its poles apart from censorship

Great series, but the end of The Rose Field was……meh

Exclusive: Labour's support has collapsed among school & college staff, according to a poll carried out for UK's biggest education union NEU

NEU general sec @danielkebedeneu.bsky.social tells me conditions have worsened for teachers since Labour took power

I’m sure they’re looking forward to returning, too! After reassuring the committee there was nothing to hide, this response is……..careless

Southern Water have provided ‘extra info’ to DDC as promised. But what do you think? They said they needed time “to get the level of detail”……

Was it worth the wait? Or are they having us on?

Hasn’t Dorries already taken that?

Other than when Brits move abroad and expect everyone to provide them with a fry up and speak English 🤭

I didn’t say that. Polanski can have his limitations and Farage can be racist at the same time. No? Strange take but you’re welcome to your opinion

The limited company with a long list of issues? I expect you’ve heard of them

So I suppose we’d be better off with the racists, whose hyper focus on migrants will inevitably weaken our economy would be as bad as the Greens? I just don’t see it

It’s mad to continuously compare them. Other than becoming more popular, they are poles apart 🙄 I guess you’d say this to discredit Polanski

Reform-run Kent council accused of blocking scrutiny of claim it saved £40m Exclusive: Labour MP made FoI request more than five months ago seeking information on how savings were calculated

A window into Reform leadership.

Are these genuine savings? Surely there’s nothing to hide?
