If Carlsberg did leafleting sessions, they'd be like this! We are organising the Ultimate Leafleting Event this Saturday. Come along and meet Mick Lynch of RMT & Jamie Driscoll.

Then get some steps in and be part of biggest election the North East has ever seen. Meeting…

I'm as confused by St Georges' revellers. All ills are caused by courts, especially foreign ones; the govt (true); people coming here from somewhere else who, er, stop us eating fish n chips, meat & 2 veg. Worse, make us drink coffee instead of tea! Bet they're Brexiters & REFUK

The challenges of yesterday are not necessarily the challenges of tomorrow.

The SNP needs the freedom and flexibility to ensure that we can move Scotland forward.

We need to speak to the country with one voice. Our voice.

Today marks a new beginning for the SNP Government.

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.

You will not distract us from this immoral war.

The Durham University hustings results are in.

“If the government think it’s a safe country then it won’t be a deterrent, and if they think it’s an unsafe country then it’s an outrageous thing to do…”

Liberal Democrats’ Munira Wilson says Rwanda bill is “policy by press release” to win votes

BBC Question Time I think the purpose of a govt saying 'sick note culture' is to get people to turn against each other. It's not just the govt blaming victims. They want people to come here (for example) and dish out blame to people who are not responsible for what's going wrong.

“The language that we use… even in the question ‘Do we have a sick note culture?’ It’s cruel”

Chair of the NHS Confederation Victor Adebowale says the use of “performative” language needs to stop, and the government should show more 'compassion'

Thousands of vulnerable folk at risk of ending up without benefits. 1M claimants are being switched to UC replacing 6 older payments & the cross-party Public Accounts Committee said difficulties in the transition could see 4% - 40K slip through the net & their benefits stopped.

The world's 1st jab to stop skin cancer brings hope for patients & uses mRNA technology. The personalised vaccine, using the genetic code of tumours to tackle the disease, is being tested on UK patients. The jab may also prove effective in treating lung, bladder & kidney tumours.

Next weeks no confidence vote is Humza Yousaf's critical test after a fraught year in office. A political consultant says he's staked his leadership on the new direction & if he survives he'll be in a stronger position. Some gloat & others say he's 'considering his position'.

The best thing about hustings is people get to see their politicians for real. Not through glossy ads. That’s why I’ve attended every hustings.

I’ve held dozens of public meetings across the region, and I’ve done dozens of events as Mayor for the past five years. Anyone can…

The European Parliament elections are coming in June. What are the pro-Kremlin parties in your country and do you think they have a chance to go through?

In Finland, the only Putin bootlicking party is Vapauden Liitto (The Freedom Alliance). They have zero chance getting MEPs.

FFS! Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction has been overturned, & a new one ordered on the basis he didn't receive a fair trial. The CoA said prosecutors in the case called witnesses whose accusations weren't part of the charges against him so was unfairly tried for past behaviour!

Israeli captive in Gaza says IDF has killed 70 captives and shames Netanyahu. Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a US-born Israeli, wishes his parents a good Passover - and says Netanyahu and his far-right government should be 'ashamed'...

Today Ministers refused to turn up to the Committee discussing arms exports to Israel.

And when they do turn up in Parliament, they mislead MPs about arms sales to Israel and push the false claim that Britain has one of the most robust arms controls licence systems in the world.

If there was a GE tomorrow, who would win? Please comment

Hamas official tells The AP it is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel & that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.
