Summarization
The tweets discuss the high cost of childcare, which has caused many women to terminate wanted pregnancies and turn to sex work to pay for it, Jeremy Corbyn's position on Brexit, UFOs and the UK politics surrounding parenthood and its cost, Diane Abbott attributing the division between Jeremy Corbyn and Sir Keir Starmer to the former's position on Brexit and Russian money in Tory coffers. People have also been asking important questions about the Tavistock for years, with little response. Overall, there is criticism of Jeremy Corbyn not being up front about his Brexit position and how this could have changed the course of history.
Topic Modeling
- Cost of childcare, access to abortion and impact of the cost of children on people's lives.
- Brexit and Jeremy Corbyn's role in it.
- UFOs and other supernatural phenomena.
- Human and workers rights, environmental standards, democratic institutions, and the impact of capitalism.
- Boris Johnson's relationship with President Zelensky and other foreign leaders.
Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, from outrage to disappointment and confusion. Many express anger at Jeremy Corbyn for not being transparent about his Brexit stance, and for potentially sabotaging the Labour Party's Remain campaign. Others are disappointed that childcare costs are so high that it can lead to women having to terminate wanted pregnancies or turn to sex work to pay for it. There is also confusion about the UK's relationship with the EU, and how Boris Johnson is chasing photo opportunities. Finally, there is a sense of gratitude for The News Agents for covering critical issues.

1624347093765595136 | NEW: Weekend @TheNewsAgents. One of the biggest yet under discussed issues of our politics- is it too expensive to have kids? Includes remarkable stat from @PregnantScrewed: 1 in 5 women say cost of childcare was the main reason they had an abortion. https://t.co/JbRA61PJeX | 51 |
1626146723868311552 | EXCL: Mick Antoniw tells me Jeremy Corbyn’s comments to @lewis_goodall on @TheNewsAgents were “fundamentally wrong”. The Welsh Labour MS was a big supporter of the former Labour leader and is heading to the war zone to deliver aid. @LBC | @LBCNews https://t.co/ZG3eaYK9fk https://t.co/WwZK7gy0ou | 34 |
1623432113511972866 | @TheNewsAgents @lewis_goodall @ZelenskyyUa @maitlis @ScottLucas_EA @GlobalPlayer HOW MUCH Russian money circulating in Tory coffers? If Govt SERIOUSLY wished to damage Putin they'd immediately freeze/sequester masses of Russian assets & reveal who really owns property in London. OBVIOUSLY Tories have divided loyalties. Part of them's on the Oligarchs' side. | 33 |

1625890638003675136 | NEW: Close Corbyn ally Diane Abbott tells @TheNewsAgents that Jeremy Corbyn has “no intention of standing as an independent" at the next election. Says his loyalty to Labour is profound-“Jeremy has been a member of the Labour Party from before either of you were alive.” https://t.co/soj03uFfmW | 22 |
1625901300587143169 | @TheNewsAgents @jeremycorbyn @Keir_Starmer @GlobalPlayer @maitlis @lewis_goodall @HackneyAbbott I think this justifies the comments by Phil Wilson, former Labour MP and Westminster chair of the Labour remain campaign "Corbyn sabotaged Labour’s remain campaign. He must resign" https://t.co/ocEoK0Wsj5 | 22 |
1625884251374714882 | There was a lot of speculation about this in 2016. Diane Abbott tells @TheNewsAgents Corbyn IS a Brexiteer. https://t.co/FgEBgAG8WO | 22 |

1625891407796875264 | @TheNewsAgents @jeremycorbyn @Keir_Starmer @GlobalPlayer @maitlis @lewis_goodall @HackneyAbbott Might have been an idea to tell the members & the electorate that he was a Brexiter...also it will be news to all previous Labour leaders that Corbyn was loyal to the party..always been & always will be Jeremy for Jeremy | 343 |

1625885502430748672 | @TheNewsAgents @jeremycorbyn @Keir_Starmer @GlobalPlayer @maitlis @lewis_goodall @HackneyAbbott Here we go. That confirms why Jeremy Corbyn didn't really bother that much to campaign for the UK to remain in the EU but apparently he voted 'remain' according to Diane. We'll never know if he really did. | 212 |
1625894162674462726 | @TheNewsAgents @peterjukes @jeremycorbyn @Keir_Starmer @GlobalPlayer @maitlis @lewis_goodall @HackneyAbbott Every single vote he took as a back bencher was anti EU; there's no way he suddenly changed his mind and became an ardent remainer, he avoided all the marches and his remain campaign was luke warm at best and he heavily pushed for article 50. Most have known this since 2016. | 191 |
1623584754951143424 | Looking forward to taking @TheNewsAgents to an Australian audience when I debut on @QandA - the Oz equivalent of @bbcquestiontime - I mean what could go wrong?? 😬😬😬 https://t.co/OaeHlragxr | 187 |
1625916973405044736 | @TheNewsAgents @jeremycorbyn @Keir_Starmer @GlobalPlayer @maitlis @lewis_goodall @HackneyAbbott The EU is the most successful redistributive and progressive project in Europe, probably the world, -- that has strengthened human rights, workers' rights, environmental standards, democratic institutions and countered the excesses of capitalism. And yet socialists hate it? https://t.co/8G5UAmuDxD | 149 |
