Really pleased this carving from #Wakefield will stay in the UK. Maybe ⁦⁦Wakefield Council⁩ or the Cathedral could arrange for it to be shown here ⁦Councillor Michelle Collins⁩? Rare early medieval ivory carving acquired for £2m by V&A | V&A | The Guardian theguardian.com/artanddesign/a…

Congratulations to Judith Cummins MP on her election as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons. I recall her updates to UNISON - UK's largest union UNISON Yorkshire & Humberside Regional Labour Link meetings - she has always been a good friend to the union 🌹

My friend just sent me footage of ghouls congregating and throwing stuff at Southport Mosque. Go home you disgusting pricks. Can't even let children be peacefully mourned.

When a bunch of grinning arseholes rock up blind pissed and coked up to a grief-stricken community just to have a punch-up and torch a Mosque, I’m not sure it’s even technically POSSIBLE to “smear” them, Isabel. They’re the literal lowest of the actual low. They’re BENEATH scum.

Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, defecating in gardens, looting local shops, attacking mosques, chanting fascist slogans, throwing missiles at everyone & setting police stations on fire, but don’t you dare call them “far right Well, just plain “Nazis” it is then

Had these race riots happened during the last few years of the Conservative government Britain would have been a far more dangerous place for people of colour. As a @conservative my first commitment is to my country and I’m relieved a sane squad are in charge during these

Just when The Labour Party thought the 2 1/2 Tories on Wakefield Council Council couldn’t split any further #Ossett Cllr Nick Farmer told Council today he was glad the Tory Govt had gone and that he’d been ashamed of much of what they did. Wakefield Labour Group wondering if he’ll be thrown out?

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is blaming the Vauxhall job losses on the electric vehicle mandate introduced by Tory business secretary Kemi Badenoch. I wonder if the two of them are related?

Congratulations to my old UNISON buddy Wendy Nichols Unison Nichols on her appointment as an The Labour Party peer. Of course we need a more democratic second chamber, but while we have the system we have it is good to see a hard working working class trade unionist there as a working peer
