I completely agree with this @LukePollard - so why did Labour Lords abstain when they could have stopped this legislation in a fatal motion in the House of Lords tabled by the Liberal Democrats? How serious is Labour really about defeating this attack on our democracy?

RT @sarahjolney1: Mortgage costs are soaring, housing repossessions are up 30%, and 500,000 renters are behind on payments.

Nobody deserves to be forced out of their home this Christmss.

We need a temporary eviction and repossession ban to end this Dickensian nightmare.

Small town joys… Christmas tree lights going on, the band playing, young and old gathered in the market square… There was definitely a bit of Christmas spirit around this evening

And out of shot, road rage due to gridlocked traffic/ more dug up roads! But let’s be positive 🎄

Great event last night. Thanks to fellow panellists and to @MVM_Totnes for organising and hosting.

Really enjoyed being part of this flashmob this morning in Exeter, raising awareness of the campaign to end violence against women and girls worldwide.
Misogyny is rife. It’s time to stamp it out.

Thirty years of service to SW Devon - no mean feat. You ended up in the wrong party Gary, but it was a pleasure to get to know you.
Enjoy your retirement.

Buyers regret. And we hear more and more of it…
At 3.15 “We are crying out for a political party to square up to the hard Brexiteers”.
@LibDems need to be much braver on this. People see what a dreadful mistake Brexit was. We need to show leadership on a route to rejoin.
RT @LBC: 'Brexit has been a disaster.'

This Brexiteer says the only way the UK can gain economic growth is by 'rejoining the EU'.
