Rachel Reeves isn't best pleased that Jamie Driscoll is standing against Labour. How dare he do such a thing, he had a chat with Ken Loach over his latest film, that's not in keeping with Labour values! She has of course once again falsely said that Loach was expelled from the Labour Party justifying her stance, but it's an increasingly offensive and ridiculous one. We know #ItWasAScam and there's no way I'll vote for anyone still peddling that lie. #DamoRants
The #socialcare crisis has dropped off a lot of mainstream news agendas and it really shouldn't have done, as Shared Data have discovered that in the last year 1,300 people waiting to be discharged with a care package either back into their own homes or into residential care, stuck in hosptial and ending their days there. This is something that my family know a thing or two about, as we're going through this very process right now...#DamoRants
So, who gets taken to court for trying to save three quid? As if you need ask really, of course it'll be the Tories and to nobody's surprise whatsoever it's Suella Braverman. She's been found to have acted unlawfully by the high court for denying under three's and pregnant asylum seekers in hotels the necessary three pound supplement to feed themselves properly. What a country we live in. #DamoRants #ToryScum
The Tories are building a railway in Turkey! No we aren't they say, we're underwriting a loan for Turkey to build a railway! So if they don't pay, we end up liable then? Err...it's good for our economy, our expertise and equipment is being used to build the railway! So we're building a railways for Turkey then? What about our ticket offices? We can't afford those! But if Turkey doesn't pay? Errr...#DamoRants #TicketOfficeClosures
So the banning of the Corbyn film Oh Jeremy Corbyn: The Big Lie in all Unite properties appears to be a directive straight from Sharon Graham and her team according to an email sent out by the assistant Unite General Secretary to the Community branch that had organised a showing of the film together with promotion for journalist Asa Winstanley on the Bristol leg of his Weaponising Antisemitism book tour. #DamoRants #ItWasAScam
Keir Starmer has embarked on a policy drive at the National Policy Forum and by drive I mean driving out anything he thinks Tory voters won't like, from walking away from Sure Start, started by his idol Blair as he makes it clear he'll be even worse than he was, to getting the backs of trade unions up to the point they boycott dinner with him and amid all of that he has the nerve to comapre himself to Nye Bevan! #DamoRants #StarmerIsATory
Trade unions have walked out over Keir Starmer's pledge breaking and unwillingness to deliver on policy they want enacted. Starmer's arrogance now extends to dictating to the very bodies that fund his party. When you consider things like minimum wage increases to the £15ph Starmer once protested over and issues such as equal pay, you kind of have to ask what exactly the trade unions think they're getting out of this deal with Labour anymore. #DamoRants #LabourParty
So Dan Wootton has launched a crowdfund to fight back against the allegations of misconduct put to him by a three year investigation by Byline Times. That said, he's already got the lawyers working for him and he's hired Mishcon De Reya at that! So is it the case that Wootton can afford these lawyers given they're already acting on his instruction, or he can't, which is why he's crowdfunding for his fans to pay for them for him? #DamoRants #DanWoottonScandal
I rarely watch PMQs but I couldn't not pass comment on the epic burn Stephen Flynn gave to both #SirKidStarver and Rishi Sunak - kiddy no snacks? - over their desire to keep kids in poverty in the name of punishing their parents. The fact Sunak is proud of it and Starmer just laughed should speak volumes that neither are people who's parties anyone should be going anywhere near with their votes. #DamoRants
When even a member of the Labour Party National Executive Committee is deemed to be not a high enough quality candidate to stand as an MP, you know the factionalism in Labour has jumped the shark. Literally a guy who has vetted other candidates, cannot be one himself! Solidarity to Mish Rahman. #DamoRants #StarmerIsATory
