UK's Starmer apologises to Eps...
The Homelessness Minister who made a family homeless just so she could raise the rent by 20%.
With a constituency majority of just 1,700 at the last election, she has probably just doomed her political career.
Labour's homelessness minister Rushanara Ali has resigned having reportedly hiked the rent on a property she owns by hundreds of pounds - something which was described by one of her tenants as "extortion".
Reading the #LabourMP for #Sunderland post about this on Facebook earlier, I thought maybe one reason they are going for this politically is to trap #ReformUK - they can ask if that lot would do anything differently here. Not nice using people for a political trap.
If I have to #votetactically under our antiquated #FPTP system to get the #Toriesout then I will. But I won't be doing it again unless, when in office, #Labour do something meaningful to address the #climatecrisis, & develop a #greeneconomy. I have written to my local #LabourMP to tell them such, & I encourage you to do the same.

SOME GOOD NEWS FROM #UK
EDDIE IZZARD one of my comedy sheroes (for she now identifies as Suzy, prefers she for her pronouns; but still goes by her stage name in public) is running for #LabourMP in Brighton
i truly believe she will be amazing if she gets to serve at Westminster. she says she wants the job; won't do any acting or stand-up unless for charity.
