Today we're bringing lynx to the Labour conference 🐾 We’re excited to be co-hosting an exciting discussion with The Missing Lynx Project, where we’ll make the case for one of the most ambitious and forward-looking nature recovery proposals in Britain: the reintroduction of the Eurasian lynx. 1/4

⚠️ "In our fragmented politics and with our electoral system, 31% could be enough" 💬 John Curtice on the possibility of Farage winning a majority on a historic low share of the vote 🌹 #Labour4PR

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

You see the headline and automatically know it is Glassman, and sure enough it is. At this stage any friends he has left need to step in and stage an intervention for how unhinged he has become.

By going after Labour>Reform voters, Labour is essentially trying to 'unwind the realignment' - arguably a much harder task, and win voters lost over many elections. True even of Labour's voters in Leave voting constituencies. But Labour IS losing more voters on the left and to undecided.

It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot.

I sat down with the Prime Minister and asked him if he’s been doing enough to counter the shocking rise of the far right in this country. It may have taken too long, but it’s good to hear him speaking like this now. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Two tier headlines. SNP accused of using indyref donations for other SNP activities. Sturgeon & her partner arrested. House ransacked. Charges dropped. The other, over £700,000 undeclared "donations" is an "admin error". No arrests. All. Perfectly. Normal.

I wrote about what I perceived to be the clear pitfalls of MRPs in my post-match analysis following last year's election. Long and short of it is, at least with my simple swing based models, when weird stuff happens it's transparent as to why. With MRPs, that's much more mysterious.

Moldova’s election isn’t just a vote; it's the frontline of a sophisticated hybrid war waged by Russia which could decide if it becomes a proxy state for Vladimir Putin. Read and watch here: www.channel4.com/news/inside-...

This pandering to Reform is becoming so ridiculous. ‘If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything’ and so on…

Everyone: What's government doing about the cost of living crisis, the climate crisis, and the unfolding genocide in Gaza? Labour: "We will mandate people carry Brit cards". This government's priorities are painfully out of touch and increasingly authoritarian.

I'm sure this will be widely welcomed <checks notes> in every part of the UK. BBC News - Starmer to announce plans for digital ID scheme www.bbc.com/news/article...

The view from Starmer's bunker on Monday past. There's not a banana skin on the planet he can't find a way to slip up on

Rupert Lowe is just Paul Golding in a better suit.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its spiralling defence and security spending, has Putin's finance ministry saying it will raise value added tax rate to 22% on.ft.com/42d0PeS

Reform being pro-Truss and anti-science really should not be too hard to counter.

Russian propagandist Solovyov warns that Ukraine is preparing for a major offensive, claiming the West could supply all the equipment needed and that Ukraine has no shortage of manpower. He then pivots to suggest Russia should consider weapons the West believes it would never use. Red lines 🙃🙃

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

The “Ed Davey is obsessed with Farage” takes are weird. A) The media is obsessed with Farage B) If the next election looks anything like the polling, it will basically be a progressive/populist bloc election. Labour won’t be Davey’s enemy. They’ll be his path to govern.

In Moldova, more than one hundred people were detained (74 of them for up to 72 hours), as part of an investigation into an alleged Russia-backed plan to incite mass riots and destabilize the country around a critical parliamentary election -

Journalists should stop saying “there’s no Sharia law in the UK”. There is. See below. By saying there isn’t perpetuates the idea that if it was it would be bad and wrong. Some may refer to amputation which is very extreme and very rare. The death penalty, which is absolute is legal in 27 US states.

Claims London is going to be under “Sharia law” (largely due to his dislike of the mayor) Complete unadulterated bullshit that has zero truth at all Then tells the rest of the world “Your country’s are going to hell” - does he mean to the same place the orange lunatic has taken the US

Trudeau named not reforming the voting system as his big regret. Starmer shouldn't repeat his mistake. The stakes are now much higher than just who wins the next election. When there's such a disconnect between how people vote and who wins seats, trust in democracy is at risk.

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

So, yet again the BBC News acts as a Reform mouthpiece. Chris "Fascist" Mason criticises Ed Davey for accusing the beeb of Reform bias, which is followed by a other 10 minute love-in of Reform's awful deportation announcement. Disgusting propaganda.

*Tapping the warning sign and making loud klaxon noises*

Truly facile, awful analysis by Nick Robinson normalising hate speech by 'ordinary people' and equating it with free speech. The boiling point is too many of Britain's commentators unthinkingly wading in the toxic swamp of X and believing it is what passes as normal.

Trump to say that taking paracetamol during pregnancy can cause autism. Previously he suggested that people should inject themselves with disinfectants to beat COVID. Science does not support his claims. Trump is an embarrassment to the whole world.
