Guardian headlines about Starmer promising significant fall in immigration

Thank you, Jess. And please do.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Love this.

This was such a great listen from @quietriotpod.bsky.social - thank you to everyone involved.

Interesting debate, worth a read.

Is it time for a wealth tax? Ahead of the Budget, could a new levy on the rich be an essential tool in fighting deprivation and wealth inequality, or would it prove unworkable?

Wealth tax debate 🥊

Liam Byrne: If done right, it would reverse inequality—and beat populism.

They are up against pro-Russian Călin Georgescu.

Wow, FAR more active.

Really worth doing.
