A great roundup of work from UoL's Social and Political Sciences school. Lots of stuff here of interest to me and I'm sure many others.

*Scampton shambles*: last year the Conservatives used emergency power “Q” to prevent the site being used for investment.

“Q” expired yesterday.

£ millions have been wasted on a scheme everyone involved knows won’t work and not one person has been accommodated.

Labour in power delivers.

Great to be back in Brent speaking to the local community about how we're:

🌹Freezing fares
🌹Providing free school meals
🌹Building record numbers of council homes
🌹Investing in young Londoners

On May 2 - #VoteLabour 🌹

On the 2nd of May I will be voting Labour, will you?

To everyone celebrating in London, and across the world: Happy Vaisakhi!

London's Sikh community continue to make a crucial contribution to our capital - economically, socially and culturally.

Vaisakhi di lakh lakh vidaiya!

When the Labour Party's opponents start smear campaigns both nationally and here in #Portsmouth , it simply proves that all they have left is....a smear campaign.

If you want change, you have to vote for it.

Vote Portsmouth Labour on May 2nd.

Residents in North End tell me they're very concerned that this building has been an eyesore for too long. Why have the Lib Dem run council done nothing about it?
Portsmouth Labour are looking to regenerate these parts of our city.

This morning in Birchwood.

Are the police now going to check every Tory MP with multiple homes/properties to check whether they've broken electoral law? #AngelaRayner

#Iran has attacked #Israel … beginning of WW3 Perhaps? …

I STAND WITH IRAN

#Iran ians #Iran #Isreal
#Russia #Ukraine #Palestine

Lewis Goodall The police are not investigating any tax issues. That is a HMRC issue only. Have you asked if Michelle Donelan has paid the correct Benefit in Kind tax for her employer footing her £34,000 legal fees, or has she dodged £14,000 of tax?

I hope, when journalists are asking Sunak whether Rayner should go if she is found to have done something wrong, they ask him why he didn’t? He has been fined for at least one crime….

Michelle Donelan used £34,000 of taxpayer funds to cover libel costs theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

People in Barrow have built our defences for decades, securing their futures and ours.

I promised them that my commitment to our nuclear deterrent is absolute - my commitment to their future total.

With our nuclear triple-lock, my changed Labour Party will keep Britain safe.

The changed Labour Party I lead knows that our nation’s defence must always come first.

That's why today I was the first Labour leader in over 30 years to see Britain’s nuclear submarines being built in Barrow-in-Furness.

Labour backs Barrow, and we back our nuclear deterrent.

In Barrow with Kier Starmer - he’s the first Labour leader in 30 years to visit the site where the subs that host the UK’s nuclear deterrent are built. More on BBC North West at 1.30 & 6.30

My changed Labour Party is totally committed to our nation’s defence. 
 
We back our Armed Forces. We back our nuclear deterrent. We back Britain.
