RT @SueC00K: It was terrific to be part of such a great event.
Excellent speech, well worth a listen. Important balance on those worried about new #BillOfRights. Useful quetion on contradiction between Bill's emphasis on protecting free speech, and the contradictory threat of the #OnlineSafetyBill to remove lawful (but harmful) speech.

I think that this Brexit deal story might just throw something of a spanner in Starmer's self-declared narrative that he is consistently an honourable man.
RT @PhilipProudfoot: This is the revelation about Starmer that really shocked me.
RT @Kassandra_AZ: This is interesting/revealing about Starmer + Brexit! - More people should know about this!
RT @BareReality: “Deeply uncomfortable with nudge making people more frightened than they need to be” - @SirGrahamBrady at the @Telegraph Planet Normal Live Event @AllisonPearson @LiamHalligan
RT @nmdacosta: Campaigners love placards. It creates great visuals AND it's visual proof an MP has made a down payment in support of a more complex ask. In this case one NOT about conversion therapy but an intervention into a clinical discussion re support for children with gender dysphoria 1/
But surely legislation is not either needed or best route to policies that tackle such immediate economic problems facing families?
RT @CPAGUK: 38 bills but no direct help with spiralling costs... a far cry from what struggling families needed to hear. Govt offered no short term comfort for parents struggling to feed their kids in face of rocketing prices, and no long term vision for ending child poverty. - @alisongcpag
RT @HarryScoffin: @LawandLease @NLC_2019 @michaelgove @team_greenhalgh Really? I thought some of the language notable, including what was put in that last paragraph. Govt finally accepting leasehold is long tenancy and a landlord-controlled system, that leasehold is NOT a homeownership product, as it arrogantly claimed in July 2019 to @CommonsLUHC:
RT @RabinaKhan: Frustrating no mention of heavily trailed Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Bill in Queen's Speech. However, look at pp69-70 of this briefing pack. Govt finally recognises leaseholders are mortgaged renters who want the homes they paid for! Stay positive! https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1074113/Lobby_Pack_10_May_2022.pdf
RT @silvesterldn: Media news: Government pledging to repeal Section 40, the provision which forced newspapers to sign up to a press regulator or be liable for legal costs even if they won in court
RT @christopherhope: Labour’s problem is that it has forgotten how to oppose. That’s why Sir Keir Starmer is in such a mess over #beergate.

The horror. And cringe. If we only left the EU to avoid interpretive dancers in the parliamentary chamber becoming a thing, it may have been worth it.
RT @CraigWinneker: Interpretive dance in the European Parliament. I think the US Congress could use a bit of this

Oh, oh...this is such sad news. Always a real fan. Far too young. I am sad type who enjoys watching New Tricks repeats and his role always a tonic.
RT @TalkTV: BREAKING: Actor Dennis Waterman, known for his roles in Minder, New Tricks and The Sweeney, has died aged 74.
RT @AllisonPearson: Well, my mum was hugely proud I got into Cambridge from a single-parent household where the only books were condensed Readers Digest. You had to be quite talented to get the same A levels as the kids in private/selective schools.
RT @BareReality: 📕🤓🎉
Regardless of rights & wrongs of #durhampartygate, it's clear (and true across political parties & institutions) that loyalty & discretion in short-demand and snitching is fashionable , even considered a virtue. Is this positive? Feels different to honourable whistle-blowing IMO

RT @john4brexit: Never lockdown ever again. There should be proper review and reform of the scientific advice to government and of the NHS
What a bloody mess! Gov & Opposition both responsible for disastrous suspension of liberties; closed down civil society/ economy at huge human cost. Public (life) will suffer consequences for yrs. My fear:Boris/Keir get away with those major 'crimes' & are done for minor gotchas
