Voter suppression pure and simple. At the cost of up to £180,000,000 a decade... Just when you think the Tories couldn't disgust you any more with their lies and incompetence and arrogance.

OMG. Came on here to talk about school cuts and have just seen the most graphic photo of self-harm on my timeline with shocking caption. Have reported it to Twitter but not hopeful they'll do anything.
@elonmusk have you ANY idea of the harm this can do to vulnerable people???

@AnthonyMangnal1 As part of a package of wider electoral reform. Lords reform crucial. But also ending the scandal of FPTP. We’ll never have proper democracy with minority governments like the current one

'How do we get rid of our awful Conservative MP?'

RT @RichardFoordLD: As Environment Minister, Therese Coffey cut the budget for tackling water pollution by 1/3rd.
In the same period, sewage discharges doubled and the situation has gotten worse since then.
We need tougher action to make water companies clean up their act.

Really admire the work the team are doing to help people get they treatment they need.

Arts and culture are important, even in a cost of living crisis.
Sad but not surprised to see the South West bottom of the list when it comes to Arts Council funding. The Levelling Up agenda yet again fails to reach the South West

This is not just a problem for women, it's a problem for everyone. If these attitudes exist within the force then they put the public at risk.
Serving officers with charges for domestic abuse and sexual assault allowed through vetting. It's a scandal that must be rooted out.

If misogyny and predatory behaviour is rife in the police, how can women trust them to respond appropriately to a rape complaint? Almost all women officers allege appalling behaviour at work.
I've asked @AlisonHernandez what she's going to do to restore trust in the police.

Disgusting waste of public money
Shocking carbon emissions when she could have gone 15 miles in an electric car
And disgusting optics - promoting her ‘invasion’ rhetoric.

In other words you destroyed the chances of anyone expanding their lives by living on the EU, experiencing life in another culture, learning and growing abroad. You broke our hospitality industry & put more pressure on NHS.
For what?
How can you be proud of this??

These trade deals with Australia and NZ do nothing to help our economy, put our farmers at a disadvantage and increase global emissions.
RT @wendychambLD: This morning I challenged the trade minister over what the government is doing to listen to farmers and the wider agriculture sector. There are real concerns about recent trade deals putting UK farmers at a disadvantage.
