Given Donna Jones is in the headlines today for this appallingly weak statement which appears to legitimise the far right violence of recent days, here's a reminder of her previous record in posting false and misleading information about asylum seekers and refugees 👇

The scandal here is how poor private sector pensions have become. Long gone are the days where a 40 year career would have produced a reasonable pension for most people. It's time to fight for decent pensions for all if we're to avoid a future of pensioner poverty.

Recent far right activity in Pompey revolved around Charles Dickens ward, one of the most deprived in UK People are right to be angry about lack of decent homes, jobs and public services. But it's the fault of those in power, not working class migrants. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

In today's Labour Party if you are on the left and "like" an innocuous post 8 years ago from a group that would later be proscribed you get expelled. If you're on the right and a landlord who fails to provide decent accommodation to tenants you get given a safe seat.

Today's fixture is dedicated to #WorldMentalHealthDay. One person dies by suicide every 90 minutes, but it doesn’t have to be this way. At your lowest point it won’t feel like it, but everyone has a support team. Reach out. #YouAreNotAlone.

Update on the calls for government to ensure Local Government Reorganisation doesn't result in a return to austerity with Portsmouth jobs and services being cut to balance the books. Including a response from government (if you can call it that). portsmouth.co.uk/news/politics/…

It's worth reading Polly Toynbee's critique of Local Government Reorganisation. In Portsmouth we're going to lose our council & it's replacement will inherit a share of Hampshire's £180m deficit, leading to big cuts to local services. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
