Boris Johnson described gay people as "bumboys", compared equal marriage to three men marrying a dog, discussed beating up a journalist with a criminal, called black people "piccaninnies" with "watermelon smiles", and was sacked twice for dishonesty. Where is the scrutiny?

Made me laugh so much this morning thanks.

What a country. You can support policies which plunge kids into poverty, truncate people’s lifespans, drive disabled people into misery, and bomb innocents - and get called a “moderate”. Support tax justice, public ownership and peace, you’re an “extremist”. Them’s the rules!

If you earn £82,000 a year, you’d pay *£8.30* more a month in tax under Labour. Don’t forget only 5% of the UK earns £80k or more- 95% of us aren’t affected. In return, we’d get a Green New Deal, free education, a proper NHS and homes for all. Don’t let the Tories scare you.

Last night my 1 year old was breathless & drowsy. We had a GP phone assessment at 6.30. Paramedics arrived at 7.30. We were in paeds A&E by 8.30. Seen, treated and discharged (much happier baby) by midnight. All free. We have an amazing NHS - we must vote to save it #VoteLabour
