“Pint-sized loser” is a Nadine Dorries quote. And the Daily Mail should know this since they pay her salary.

After 14 years of Tory failure, it’s time for change. Only Labour will end the housing emergency.
Very informative meeting yesterday evening @CanterburyCLP on Poverty and what @UKLabour can do in the 1st 100 days to reduce deep poverty aka as Destitution. One thing is repeal of the 2 child limit on Child Benefit and this would be a fitting tribute to #FrankFieldRiP #R4today
For the good people who fight it on the beaches, in the law courts, in their homes, in their communities, in our national institutions, and in their hearts. Keep fighting. #RwandaNotInMyName #RwandaBill @refugeecouncil @CityofSanctuary @amnesty @libertyhq @AsylumMatters @_KRAN_…
Have the @Conservatives still got ££ to build the 40 new NHS hospitals pledged or is that now going into "defence". We were told there is £350 million a week extra after Brexit. Can't they deal with one pledge at a time? What happened to sorting out the Care System? #r4today
If anyone in govt, media or politics wants a fitting memorial to Frank Field, then it should be the abolition of the two-child limit. His last report (as Chair of @workandpensions) is here. "No government should accept it." committees.parliament.uk/committee/164/…
RIP dear Frank Field. He was a wonderful Chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, compassionate and incredibly kind with a great sense of humour and always a twinkle in his eye...
After 8 years of the Conservative PCC who has cut PCSOs , support staff & special constables, & overseen increasing anti-social behaviour I’m standing to bring the change that Kent & Medway needs. On 2nd May Vote Lenny Rolles for Kent Police & Crime Commissioner, #VoteLabour
#R4today Stand up, speak up #RwandaNotInMyName
#R4today Stand up, speak up #RwandaNotInMyName
Ahead of the Rwanda votes tonight that could go on until 1AM - Tory chief whip Simon Hart will host drinks for MPs in Rishi Sunak's parly office
Rishi Sunak has an airfield on standby, flights booked, 500 'highly trained individuals', all raring to go to ship a few poor folk to Rwanda. Big macho talk. Shame he doesn't have the same determination to deliver the 40 new hospitals we were promised as long ago as 2019.
Fantastic news! 🎊 Trudi Warner, the retired social worker, won't face trial after being taken to court for holding up a sign. This is what she had to say... #IStandWithTrudi
Poverty pushes families to the brink of survival. But together we can push back harder this Christian Aid Week. Give £10 now.
Channel 4 has pulled off something of a political coup by signing Emily Maitlis for its General Election coverage. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@phuenowg these could be salvagable! The trees look relatively young and the break is not a complete one , it seems. Stand them up, get a splint on it and they may heal naturally. Prob best to just call a tree surgeon & have them do it.
Great to meet the Police Crime Commissioner Candidate @LennyRolles this morning with @hbsandlabour and @EKentCoopParty this morning. We need real change in Kent and Medway I urge you all to vote for Lenny on May 2nd. #VoteLabour

As an assistance dog handler I have found that fear of dogs often comes from concerns about unpredictability. I can address specific fears about barking or biting or jumping. But I can also help by explaining what will happen & showing that Ava’s behaviour is calm & predictable
I held onto Ava’s collar as they got off (not necessary but adds reassurance). They even said “oh it’s ok don’t worry” when I offered to move her away so they could walk by us without Ava as close. I think Ava’s calm behaviour had helped them feel safer & less worried.
They apologised for being scared & I said it was ok. I then showed them pictures of Little One & Ava. We talked about how Ava helps me & Little One. They then started talking to their toddler about the doggy which was lovely! We also all played peekaboo raspberries 😝
The person gasped when I mentioned quick movement. So I explained “she is going to move quickly now but she is going under my legs she has to turn & go under to do this.” Ava then did the move under my legs. Immediately & calmly settled. Them: thank you. Me: no problem.
People often justify refusing my Guide Dog access on the basis of potential fear of dogs. But how does it work when someone is scared & we’re sharing a space? Well it happened just now on the tube. As I boarded a person with a young child gasped “I’m scared of dogs!”
