Attendance at this year's far right march was well under half they had last year - good 'The Metropolitan police believe that 60,000 attended the far right Unite the Kingdom march. It is markedly down on the 150,000 the Met estimated at the same protest in September'

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

Caroline wants to defeat Reform; Zack wants to defeat Labour.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

Absolutely correct from Starmer here. Sharp contrast to the equivocal response to the last Robinson/Musk rally - a very welcome change.

'I only earn £18k above the median salary in London. I am a poor smol bean.' Greens, come get your guy. He's a prat

Well, Zack - is stopping Reform the priority or not?

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

@faisalislam.bsky.social Quite the backdrop for a leadership challenge… Q1 2026 G7: 🇬🇧 0.6% 🇺🇸 0.5% 🇨🇦 0.4% 🇩🇪 0.3% 🇮🇹 0.2% 🇫🇷 0% 🇯🇵 (not yet reported but estimates are 0.4%)’

A very strong start to 2026 -significantly above forecasts. GDP/capita rose 0.6% in first three months of 2026 (OBR expected gdp/capita to grow by 0.8% in 2026 as a whole) www.ons.gov.uk/economy/gros...

'All of us who have had to get by with not quite enough' The salary of a GLA member, which Polanski was at the time, is £66k. Thats double the average wage. Come off it with this rubbish.

You are right it was mentioned, but Rayner’s tax affairs were front and centre of the media for weeks In comparison from example Tice's tax affairs did get a mention in some media outlets, but at no where near the level and time period that Rayner’s did taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/04/18/r...

Meanwhile… Tice £91,000 tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims

😂 Sam Coates makes an ABSOLUTE TIT of himself. Calls PM photos "fake news" then finds out they're from the Press Association. If you make a spurious, inflammatory point you never made about any official photograph before, to pitch yourself as the only reliable source, at a minimum check your facts.

I think a lot of people owe you an apology The vitriol against you by some was disgraceful. Your reports have always been balanced, evidenced and fair, whether on Rayner, Tice, Zahawi etc www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

As a journalist, I’ve done exposés on all the major parties. But I’ve never encountered the level of bullying, vitriol, personal vilification & deluded self-righteousness levelled by Green Party supporters online. If you want an idea of it, just look at the responses to Neidle.

Crossings are down 36% this year, but most don't know. You only need to look at the below link to see why. It's hidden away in the 11th paragraph www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... More than 7,380 people have crossed the Channel since January, which is 36% lower than the same period last year.

"Labour MPs are at least aware that their party is in the doldrums. The bizarre aura of denial around the Conservative Party, whose situation is almost certainly worse – it has lost more of its core vote to Reform than Labour has to the Greens – might be enough to finish it off entirely."

Agree They are down 557 seats so far, this is on top of the 485 they lost when last contested in 2022 (Labour gained 108 in 2022) Bearing in mind the tories were defending around just half the seats Labour were, it really was a dreadful performance, but Badenoch's treating it like a victory

So I'm more positive on the record: workers rights, renters rights, energy, climate action and planning reform are all pretty major and positive changes for 2 years in + lots of positive smaller reforms. But many arent salient and its being lutweighed by stuff that is

So far results looking bleak for Labour in the North East but overall not quite as bad nationally as some forecasts predicted. Reform gains largely in line with national poll share. Tories doing least badly in London. Greens making significant gains but not yet the big breakthrough some predicted

Failed legal challenges have delayed major infrastructure projects like new roads and power stations by a collective 32 years. Labour recently changed the law to cut the time it takes to throw out anti-infrastructure lawsuits. And it's working. www.samdumitriu.com/p/the-planni...

Polanski reply to Nick Robinson today about his post criticising police who arrested a violent attempted murder suspect 'I think it is accurate, and that I was also traumatised by seeing someone handcuffed and repeatedly kicked in the head' A lie, once handcuffed he wasn't kicked in the head

This is a terrible and deliberately divisive piece of reporting by the Times. Somewhere near the bottom of the article, they admit that actually Muslims prioritise the cost of living above Gaza. It's not even close - cost of living was prioritised by 50%, Gaza by 25% www.thetimes.com/article/5c7c...

FT exclusive: US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent had a fierce row with UK chancellor Rachel Reeves in Washington last month over her outspoken criticism of the Iran war, according to people familiar with the matter www.ft.com/content/85f8...

That must really worry Ukraine, it's not like they've been attacking Ukraine civilians target for years...oh

I come back to my theory that Reform lost the 2029 election last summer and know it. This is disgusting but so, so desprate

We shall use the additional years of life expectancy we have compared to the US to ponder the question…

Probably had difficulty finding somewhere to park the JCB

It really is only a matter of time before Polanski advocates the reopening of the mines to create well paid jobs and ensure cheaper, home-produced energy.

Small boats update on people risking their lives crossing the English Channel. No graphs today as I'm on my phone. In April 2026 people crossing is down 55% on April 2026. This is the lowest monthly figure for April since 2021. Up to end of April 2026, it's down 42% in 2026 compared to 2025. 1/3

Labour has already delivered more manifesto pledges than Reform UK has total policies www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/lab...

Now three Lambeth Green candidates who have made toxic statements. This is happening right in Green leader Zack Polanski's back yard - he is a London resident baed nearby in Hackney and a London Assembly member. Real test of his leadership how he handles this. bsky.app/profile/robb...

Two questions spring to mind 1. Why haven't they suspended the person pending an investigation 2.Why bring what's happening in Gaza into a situation involving one of their candidates spouting antisemitic hate in the UK, is it like a get out of jail free card?

Honestly FFS A drooling racist calling for the victims of racist attacks to atone for being attacked

Happy Renters’ Rights Day, England. This Labour government is delivering for private renters.

What have the Romans ever done for us? Apart from better job laws, higher min wage, reviving NHS, green energy, renationalising rail, childcare, rejecting Trump's Iran war, breakfast clubs, saving steel, recognising Palestine and the Renters' Rights Act. news.sky.com/video/renter...

It has been more than 48 hours since we first approached the Green Party for comment about Tina Ion. And well over 24 hours since we went to them for further comment on *this* story. We have heard nothing. From their press office, from anyone senior, or from Zack Polanski himself. Nothing.

Do you think the language of the tweet you reposted helps in that? Should you repost such an inflammatory post when you didn't 'know the full picture' ? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨 NEW: Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley says Zack Polanski’s "misinformed commentary" is "contributing to rising tensions" It comes after he reposted criticism of the Met officers who detained the Golders Green terror suspect

Keeping seeing posts that the "Corbyn playbook" is being used on Polanski. But attacks - whatever the motivation - only work if there is some evidence of a problem. Telegraph et al tried it on Sadiq Khan + it never stuck because there's zero evidence of Khan or those around him being antisemitic.

Racists look for an excuse to justify their racism, but even if they can't find an excuse, they will still be racist

What was Labour's antisemitism problem under Corbyn has now transplanted itself to the Greens, and if the Greens want to be any kind of serious force in politics, they need to get a grip on this absolute bullshit

Oh my god. Did they not do even basic vetting? The real Anne Frank, seriously?
