Why would the people of Durham not vote Reform - what's not to like about increasing council tax, cutting Β£12.9m from services, having a Deputy Leader who posts AI lies or a Leader who ran two companies that went bust owing more than Β£500k in tax?

The Casey Commission | Independent Commission on Adult Social Care The Casey Commission: the Independent Commission on Adult Social Care

A year ago, the Labour government instructed Louise Casey to carry out an Independent Commission on Adult Social Care.

This is a major piece of work to fundamentally transform the care sector and will take a long time.

But Baroness Casey said she would feedback with any immediate actions...

🚨 Rachel Reeves rightly points out the damage Brexit has done to our economy:

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

The media will not report on Labour good news. Everyone decent is rightly cross about that.

May I suggest you repost the key things to your FB and WhatsApp groups. Not everything. But the BIG things. Like the Β£7.5bn saving in public services just announced?

It will help

New bone scanners to help prevent fractures and cut waiting times Patients across England will benefit from new bone scanners to diagnose fragile bones earlier and prevent painful, life-changing fractures.

It's fantastic to see these smaller scale NHS announcements.

Both build on previous announcements. Both will have a positive effect - on either the operational aspects or for patient care.

This one is for 20 new bone scanners, 6 to expand provision and 14 to replace outdated tech.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

How is it possible that the media does not report the Β£7.5bn of money saved by Labour from fraud in our public services.

The savings secured are equivalent to the cost of employing an additional 230,000 nurses or repairing every pothole in the country.

This is big news!

Thousands of pollution incidents in England downgraded without site visit, data suggests Exclusive: Whistleblower figures show large rise in β€˜serious’ to β€˜minor’ downgrades based on water company evidence

Corruption in England's water industry and its regulation

2,778 serious pollution incidents reported in 2024.

Officials downgraded 2,735 (98%) to minor incidents.

Only 496 attended before downgrading; the rest were deemed minor.

Regulators collude with industry, inflicting harms to people.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

So presumably this Daily Mail campaign against "foreign-born" voters will quickly be applied to their foreign-born star columnist, Boris Johnson, and their own France-based for tax purposes non-dom owner?

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

What a fantastic PM we have right now. He and his government are doing brilliant things to improve our country.

It is time people woke up and realise this before they lose it - rather than believing the lies the extreme left and right keep sharing about him.

Andrea Jenkyns who asked for an extra Β£147k to help answer emails has been posing with a fake "budget box" because yes that's a totally normal thing that regional mayors do.

Radical expansion in rights for children with SEND Radical expansion in rights for children with special educational needs and disabilities to transform life chances.

This all sounds excellent for updates to SEND from our Labour government.

Absolutely necessary. Legal rights. Transition arrangements. Expansion of provision. Individual Support Plans. Extra funding. Aiming for every child to achieve and thrive to transform life chances.

Farage accused of 'cheap stunt' after being 'denied entry' to Chagos Islands The Foreign Office website makes clear the restricted access of the British Indian Ocean Territory and clearly states 'you need a permit before you travel'

But it's not "a cheap stunt."

Farage won't have flown economy, or alone and if there was "an aid boat" that will have cost money too.

It's expensive flying to the Maldives.

Where did he stay?
How long is he staying?

How much did it cost?
Who picked up the tab?

I love this – our vision is really taking shape in Devon. With the help of the Woodland Trust we’ve got kids planting thousands of trees - Oaks, Willows, Aspens, all under the expert guidance of Britain’s leading ecologist Chris Packham.

The referendum was advisory only. Cameron could have chosen to ignore it, or put some criteria on the vote, e.g. the vote had to be 60% or more to make it valid. The Brexit vote was almost certainly manipulated in some way, as even the Brexiteers were surprised by the result.

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.

More children to be protected from deadly viruses New changes to the GP contract will help protect thousands more children across the country from deadly and highly infectious diseases.

Labour announce policy to ensure more children are protected from deadly viruses!

Changes to the GP contract for 2026/27 will include additional help for GPs to improve and strengthen vaccination delivery where it is needed most.

In turn, this will protect more children and stop deadly outbreaks.
