The Art of the Deal

Andy Burnham has secured a massive majority in the Makerfield by-election, returning to Westminster on a platform to challenge Keir Starmer's leadership from the left.

Jo Cox.

With the government announcing a massive ban on social media apps for anyone under sixteen...the entire industry is scrambling to figure out how to enforce the strict new rules. But little Tommy Yaxley-Lennon-Robinson was just relieved it wasn't a height restriction.

While Pope Leo XIV’s landmark encyclical Magnifica Humanitas warns that an AI future excluding God risks global dehumanization, Donald Trump counters the theme of advanced intellect by bragging that his perfect scores on basic cognitive tests prove his "extreme intelligence."

Following the murder of student Henry Nowak, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage issued an "emergency address" to channel public anger & prevent being outflanked by further right-wing rivals, while Elon Musk amplified the tension by utilizing X to fuel narratives of inevitable civil war.

A Makerfield by-election defeat to Reform UK would derail Andy Burnham's Westminster comeback and expose severe electoral vulnerability for Labour in its traditional heartlands.

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has shifted from supporting an EU return to a "relentless domestic focus" for the Makerfield by-election, citing his Manchester bus project's success to win Leave voters and position for a future leadership bid.

A progressive majority can be invisible. If we stay divided, an extremist minority wins on a fraction of the vote. We’re joining @compassoffice.bsky.social to demand strategic cooperation. Let’s act like a majority. Sign the letter: forwarddemocracy.com/neighbourhood

Wes Streeting’s resignation to challenge Keir Starmer, combined with Andy Burnham’s sudden bid for the Makerfield by-election, has triggered a total Labour civil war, leaving the door wide open for Nigel Farage and a surging Reform UK to march straight through their crumbling Northern strongholds

My SIX takeaways from Tommy's "Fashtonbury" event yesterday... 1) Numbers way down on last year when they claimed "3 million!" (lol) marched (was nearer 110k in reality but these people live in Conspiracy Theory & Disinfo so whatever) This year met police estimate ~60-70k.

As Wes Streeting's leadership ambitions fizzle away, Andy Burnham declares his intentions ....

Embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer has unveiled a sweeping new legislative programme—including major overhauls to healthcare, education, courts, and immigration—in a high-stakes attempt to satisfy critics and persuade wavering Labour MPs to let him remain in office.

Despite suffering a severe electoral defeat and a failed political reset, Keir Starmer remains the UK Prime Minister, though his authority is badly damaged as the government prepares for a state opening of parliament amid intense instability.

Nigel Farage is facing criticism and a referral to the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner from opposing parties for failing to declare a £5m personal security gift from Thailand based Reform UK donor Christopher Harborne.

My landlord decided that he didn't like the new Rent Act, so he issued a Section 21 eviction order while I was in Hospital to avoid having to give me renters rights. And landlords wonder why they have a bad reputation.

I think we’re at the stage where we need two separate governments. One will be there to deal exclusively with allegations relating to Peter Mandelson. This will be the main British government. And then there’s a secondary administration that does all those little things like running the country.
