"Squeek", *splash*

I keep being told that I should vote Labour to keep Reform out. The answer is very firm 'no'. I will not vote for a party that's doing this. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

McSweeney "was careful to ensure others shared his views, which were unanimous " Well of course! And we can take this as Gospel because Morgan McSweeney has long been famed for his welcoming, tolerant, collegiate approach inside No.10 👀

In a statement, Starmer said it had been "an honour working with Morgan McSweeney for many years. He turned our party around after one of its worst ever defeats" Let's not forget that Labour's "worst ever defeat" was one which Starmer, McSweeney, Mandelson and others actively worked to achieve.

Left: Why were Zuckerberg, Musk and Theil having dinner with Epstein in 2015? They must all have known he pled guilty to child abuse in 2008... Right: Zack Polanski criticising the UK gov for repeated contracts with Theil's Palantir

Trump administration establishes a slush fund for Farage and Reform to push MAGA agenda in the UK

Reform UK: "People shouldn't have kids if they can't afford them" Also Reform UK: "People who don't have kids will have to pay a special tax" Also Reform UK: "We will reimpose the two child cap to fund cheaper beer" Utterly unhinged

"Peter Mandelson broke his silence to say: “Ghislaine’s passing is a heavy blow, but I will cherish the memories of the times we spent together in our underwear.”

Vote Reform, get The Handmaid's Tale. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

If Carlsberg wrote Public Service Announcements... 😂

So as I struggled with miscarriage after miscarriage before having my 🌈 baby, Reform would seriously think I should pay more tax during that agony. This policy isn’t just a slippery slope to a handmaids tale dystopian future - it’s a deliberate step towards it www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Timing is everything for Rayner She needs to have the HMRC process behind her before challenging for the leadership, there are likely to be upcoming revelations about other senior Labour figures/rivals caught up in Mandelson's tendrils, & better to let May's electoral apocalypse unfold under Starmer

Mandelson uses clauses of the IPSO Editor's Code most typically associated with grieving families or those suffering harassment from the press to urge journalists to stop scrutinising his links to the most world's most notorious paedophile. BRAZEN, BARE FACED, BRASS NECKED B*STARD

People are giving Keir Starmer a hard time over his appointment of Peter Mandelson, but I don't think he is given enough credit for his other decisions such as putting Peter Thiel in charge of our NHS data

It's beginning to beg the question "what does Morgan McSweeney have on Kier Starmer?"

#BlueLabour is to fight off Reform UK and rebuild the Red Wall by... oh, hang on. No, scratch that, Morgan McSweeney has had another brainwave. Another despicable continuation of Tory policies, taking funding from some of the most deprived towns in the country to further boost funding for London

Here's an impressive Zack Polanski on Starmer, Mandelson, McSweeney and Thiel – and on the importance of sometimes putting country before party politics. [SOUND ON 🔊]

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

For those keeping score at home:

"[Labour] warns us that “only Labour can beat Reform”. This isn’t true: the bookies currently think the Greens will win. If so, it will be because, while Labour offers disappointment and frustration, and Reform offers hatred and division, they offer hope and inspiration" George Monbiot, The Guardian

Give up your additional child benefit (£17.25 per child per week) to save 5p a pint!! What an absolute vote winner for certain people: Have 3 kids but drink more than 345 pints a week Have 4 kids but drink more than 690 pints a week… Have 2 kids/fewer/none but you don’t give a shit about children

Tou know what to do Telegraph POLL: Are you happy with Brexit 10 years on? Currently 54% say yes vs 43% say no. Here’s a direct link to the poll so you don’t have to read the article. xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

"Hamish de Bretron-Gordon." Clearly a champion of the people. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"This whole grubby affair hasn't just prompted questions about Peter Mandelson's judgement, but Kier Starmer's too" Joe Pike on BBC news at ten

Lucy Powell: "Most people know, it’s only Labour that can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton" #BlueLabour told the exact same lie in Caerphilly. Spoiler alert; Plaid Cymru won! Only voting #Green in #Gorton&Denton will beat Labour and Reform

Mandelson is toast, and if there's any justice, he should end up in court. Although, being Mandelson, no doubt he is already thinking he is on his way to a stunning comeback. The question now is, who in the Labour hierarchy knew what, when, and still enabled this ragingly entitled walking scandal?

Worth reading this whole thread for Brown's full statement, which strongly suggests the Cabinet Secretary has questions to answer 👀

I mean... this is REALLY not ok

@news.sky.com where are you on this? Asking for many, many friends 👇

Urgent questions which must be asked and must be answered 👇

Still toying with #BlueLabour in #Gorton&Denton ? Here's a well sourced thread giving a great insight into Angeliki Stogia, Corporate Lobbyist, PFI Advocate and Starmer-parachuted Candidate for the byelection Genuinely well worth three minutes of your time Then #VoteGreen

🤮 This grubby quest for savings at the expense of either the poorest or most vulnerable in our society, while ignoring the vast wealth of the super-rich, has become emblematic of this Labour govt. It's revolting. And it's really terrible politics as well... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Satire is dead...

Can’t believe Labour are briefing such a poor line, when an obvious response is “why is the party who blocked a local candidate from running because he’s midway through his political term calling a London Assembly member ‘chicken’ for not running to be MP of a constituency 160 miles from his home?”

Reform Kent council spends £600k on eight free parking spaces for senior councillors

I enjoyed reading this column, which somehow blames Keir Starmer for the result of an employment tribunal following laws passed under the Tory government regarding an incident and suspension that took place before the last election.

He tried both Labour and Conservative then became a Fascist - sound familiar?

Very much enjoyed meeting Matt Goodwin and his surprisingly honest supporters.

Time to use that leverage 🇬🇧

Say hello to Hannah Spencer—councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and your Green Party candidate for Gorton and Denton 💚

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Kevin Warsh—expected to be Trump's Fed chair pick—is the son-in-law of Trump donor Ronald Lauder (billionaire Estée Lauder heir), who convinced Trump in 2018 of the need to annex Greenland (and then invested heavily there), and who benefits from the Ukraine rare-earth deal?

Don’t pay any attention to a Finditoutnow poll which shows Reform winning in the Gorton & Denton byelection. The sample is just 143 people and the top three are blurred into margin of error.

A vote for #PlaidCymru let Plaid Cymru beat Reformski UK in Caerphilly. A vote for the #GreenParty will let the Green Party beat Reformski UK in #Gorton&Denton Don't fall for #BlueLabour lies #ExLabour

Bad Enoch indeed! "Badenoch was clear on her direction, setting out a Reform-adjacent policy platform based around cutting immigration, opposition to net zero policies, slashing social security and lower taxes. “My Conservative party has moved to the right every day since I became leader,”

Zac Polanski: "We believe Goodwin is a dangerous extremist with views on race that the vast majority of us find absolutely abhorrent. This is a man who says that being born and brought up in the UK doesn’t mean that people from black, Asian or other immigrant backgrounds are necessarily British"
