@Siobhain_Mc Hi Siobhain. I am a Labour member living in the blue wall. Unfortunately, no matter how much I vote, it will never matter and I do not get any representation. Does my party support matter to you? Or I am just as worthless as the other 80% of people who’s votes don’t count?

Britain is fed up, bitter, and practically broke - and it’s all going to get worse https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2022/06/29/britain-fed-bitter-practically-broke-going-get-worse/

I’m honoured to receive the Politician of the Year at this year’s Civility in Politics Awards. The award comes with a £1500 donation to my choice of charity which will be Mabon Trust.

Labour MP for Mitcham & Morden, @Siobhain_Mc, has said in the past that she doesn't support electoral reform because it'd weaken the link between an MP & their constituency. I've seen no indication that she's changed her mind. I think that the status quo is convenient for her! https://twitter.com/Femi_Sorry/status/1541466751015297026

Hoping the @Conservatives lose both the Wakefield & Tiverton & Honiton by-elections.

If Sir Keir Starmer can’t keep discipline in his own Party, what chance does he have of running the country?

He said his MPs shouldn’t be on militant RMT Union picket lines.

Sir Keir - they’re all at it!

Exhibits A, B, C and D.

There’s more out there too!

In amongst our grief at the loss of Dad we’re still managing to smile. We want his funeral to be a celebration of his life so no need to wear black. I said I’d wear a red tie given dad ‘Red Ted’ was a @UKLabour member for 63 years. Mum: & a suit & a shirt? Me no mum, just my tie!

@BerkeleyGroupUK consultation in Mitcham n apparently no answers for local residents! No show from @Siobhain_Mc or any other lavender councillors Building a monstrous development 650 flats causing probs: Traffic Parking Congestion School, GP where there r no monstrous buildings

Visiting NATO Allied Maritime Command, I spoke to our troops about the situation in Ukraine and the need to bolster Britain’s defence and security at home and abroad.

Labour’s commitment to NATO is unshakeable. We stand with our allies against Putin's illegal war in Ukraine.

Huge waits for passports and driving licences.

Huge queues at airports.

Huge waiting lists for healthcare and court dates.

Welcome to Boris Johnson’s Backlog Britain.

Britain is in ruins thanks to the failed dogmas of our permanent Leftist elite https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06/15/britain-ruins-thanks-failed-dogmas-permanent-leftist-elite/

The Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus tiercel taking flight on 10th June @J_M_Boorman @Siobhain_Mc. His new mate was also active, and the pair were enjoying hanging on a strong southerly wind. The 3 chicks are losing their down, and they should be taking to the air soon. Cropped.

I spoke to Housing Sec Michael Gove about new laws the govt is bringing in as part of the Social Housing Regulation Bill - there is more about the bill here: https://www.itv.com/news/2022-06-08/housing-reforms-promised-after-grenfell-brought-to-parliament-five-years-later

Mr Gove said he regrets it has taken so long to bring in new legislation. Here's part of my i/v:

Today we lead @itvnews on social housing and new laws to give tenants more power to report their landlord.

I met Samantha, a disabled housing association tenant, who's spent 3 years reporting constant leaks which have never been properly fixed. She say it's destroyed her life.

@DanielHewittITV @LabourHousing @itvnews @KwajoHousing Can we schedule a deep probe into the license to print money that is the Supported Housing sector & the toothless regulator that can do nothing next, please?

Exc: An independent inquiry into poor quality housing association homes is to be set up by the UK’s leading housing groups. The National Housing Federation & Chartered Institute for Housing say it’s a response to “the investigation by @itvnews” and campaigners like @KwajoHousing.
