He's re announcing plans that Starmer already planned for, as you say. Proof below from House of Lords. The markings in yellow are mine. He says in an interview, 'that he is not going to do politics as usual'. We can see that, in how he deposed Keir Starmer & now claims the credit for his work.

Back in the 1980s I visited the West Bank. I saw the discrimination that Palestinians faced. Since then things have only become worse. The growth in illegal settlements & violence against Palestinians in the West Bank meant it was right for us to act. hounslowherald.com/ruth-cadbury...

I was reading a Sky News article regarding what Angela Rayner said regarding political donations and this caught my eye. Good to see the PM doing this but it does not excuse skipping the 9/11 remembrance on Friday.

Much talk about the effect a donations cap would have on Union donations, when in fact they will not be affected.

#DemocracyNotForSale Union donations not an excuse not to act! According to parliamentary evidence, "If these conditions were met, trade union affiliations would be regarded as an aggregation of individual donations…thus avoiding a proposed….donation cap" committees.parliament.uk/writtenevide...

This is what equality is all about.

Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

For those frothing at the mouth over the recent RNLI rescues in the Channel, 98.8% of their rescue work is undertaken elsewhere.

A detail missing from The Times story… the woman who took the photo shared it to a Facebook group called ‘South east patriots’.

Fascinating wording of police statement in commons. “intelligence is shared at pace”. So the spooks and military are involved

Wood carvings at Hampton Court in Herefordshire.

West Midlands Police have published the police incident number for those who wish to report witness statements for the women who were physically beaten and assaulted at by Reform Members at their party conference yesterday.

Timeline cleanse

In 24 hours, we have learned from Reform that they don’t think people from abroad should stand in politics but their money is most welcome, “thank you”.

Look 👀 farage is getting you into a rage for a non existent non invasion rage 😡and you go to prison for it,not him. Clowns

I’m very sad to hear Dolly Parton has died she was an example to all RIP Dolly.

''You’re only a woman, you don’t drive — what do you know about it? I reckon I can take five pints and drive better than most people any day of the week.” This was sadly one of the reactions Barbara faced- the good news about the ULEZ gives me a chance to plug this 👇 labourlist.org/2025/12/barb...

'The legacy of Barbara Castle should still drive Labour's approach to transport policy' - LabourList

When it comes to transport policy, Labour should still be driven by Barbara Castle's legacy says Ruth Cadbury MP.

ULEZ was exactly like when they brought in the seatbelt requirement for car users. People screaming about personal inconvenience or change, while there on the page was clear evidence that this would save lives. it was delivering the biggest improvement in London's health since the smog ban.

This is absolute rookie stuff. There is just absolutely no way that a headline like this should ever make the BBC News website. It being the weekend is no excuse, either: political news *always* drops on Saturday night, for the Sunday papers.

Would it now?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Is Burnham just another Labour centrist promising much & delivering fuck all? It seems so. Am so fed up with those who call themselves leaders and then set the bar so low, an asthmatic ant could jump it. Welfare, Climate Change, Water - you name it, he's failing.

Hot topic: why is Burnham so reluctant to talk about the climate crisis?

Extreme heat is harming wellbeing of ordinary people the PM champions, yet little has been said on the topic

theguardian.com

Really? Is that it? If this is all that’s come from COBR, it’s pitifully inadequate. As crisis deepens, it beggars belief that there aren’t eg plans to increase resources for the fire service, support for farmers, max workplace temperature, funded community cool spaces & obvs ban on new fossil fuels

Andy Burnham warns of summer ban on disposable barbecues

Andy Burnham said he would consider if a restriction on purchasing the products during the summer months could be justified

In Burnham's Britain, do the pockets of rich City traders count for more than housing ordinary working people, providing running water and tackling climate change?
