There's this constant obession on the right with denouncing everyone as left wing. They don't seem to realise how ridiculous they look.

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

This September I’m celebrating Catch the Bus Month 2025 with the brilliant Somerset Bus Partnership. Buses connect our communities in Glastonbury and Somerton, cut traffic and emissions, and help people access work, school and healthcare. I’ll keep pushing for stronger support for services. #CTBM

"128,000 people a year die in fuel poverty - " The cost of greed. It does not have to be like this.

Will it help ensure wealthy people pay their fair share? ... Thought not. Will it make profits for multi- nationals? ... Thought so.

Why is the Labour government doing Reforms work?

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.

‘We should have been shouting about this earlier’: David Tennant on his shocking TV show about phone hacking

No disrespect, but that message needs to get out to Mail, Express readers, and those who watch the BBC. Most people who voted Farage dont read the Guardian and dont know Farages policies because he's never properly challenged on them by the Mail, Express, and BBC.

Trump has dragged the US to the abyss and Nigel Farage would do the same to Britain. Reform funded by the super rich would erode worker rights, human rights, hand the NHS to private sector, divide society, deepen inequalities and environmental crisis.

Is there anything Labour can do to save itself from disaster? Our panel responds – part two

Excellent evening with @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social emotional, sad, humourous and thought provoking. Good to see him so well recovered after the COVID years and a small dose of politics at the end.

I've just put these posters in my window Please put them in yours 👇 secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/176747/...

TONIGHT!

Labour must reset policies, boost purchasing power of the bottom 50%. Median wage £30.432 (£25,431 net), bosses collect up to 1,112 times the average worker pay. 37% of universal credit claimants are in work. Poorest in Slovenia and Malta better off than the poorest in the UK. Must redistribute.

And of course people will be able to draw their own conclusions when some/all of them don't join him.

Ed Davey managed to say something. Why can't Starmer?

I want my country back.

“Council housing is the solution to the housing crisis. Developers – not nature or local democracy – are the block.” Clive Lewis MP challenges the government’s growth claims. Read his full take:

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind in charge of an entire English county, accuses the government of appointing people "with no knowledge" or experience in charge of Government departments

Broadcasters go first to Farage for a response to Rayner Resignation. Badenoch, Davey, Flynn, even Polanski? Come on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @itvnews.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social he’s NOT defacto leader of opposition however much you will it on. Start reflecting the parliament we elected

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Because of pressure from the right wing press who also promote tax avoidance? Weird bsky.app/profile/loca...

come on, james there's no equivalency here. he's male, right-wing, rich, and went to a posh school.

Kemi Badenoch’s ‘Free Speech’ Conservatives Ban Byline Times From Party Conference The ban on covering the party’s annual gathering came despite Badenoch’s repeated commitment to “fight” for free speech and a free press bylinetimes.com/2025/09/04/k...

🚨 GDP is up. But wages are low, rents soar & work is insecure. Clive Lewis MP says what ministers won’t - "a quarter of private renters are handing over half or more of their income just to keep a roof over their heads. This isn’t prosperity, it’s daylight robbery with a tenancy agreement"

The Lib Dems recognising (fairly) that sucking up to Trump while slating Britain is a deeply unpopular move

At least 15 people are dead and 18 injured after an electric streetcar in Lisbon derailed, emergency services said. https://wapo.st/47XzyAC

STARMER’S POLITICAL INEPTITUDE HAS MADE HIM A FARAGE ENABLER. “A large tranche of evidence from Europe and around the world shows that if you seek to compete with the right on harshness and cruelty, obsess over its themes and adopt its rhetoric, you merely legitimise and empower it.” #Labour

Anyone here even aware that this happened on Sunday? Literally a Russian attack on the head of the EU. Barely a whisper. Europe, you in danger, girl. Get your shit together. You may not think you are at war, but Putin's Russia sure does. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

Heathrow Airport - majority owned by state-owned sovereign wealth funds,inc. Qatar - has been unveiled as a "major sponsor" of Reform UK's conference this coming weekend. Reform says "big businesses flock to the Party they perceive to be most likely to form the next Government". Yeah. Right.

Zero consideration for mental health, SEND, bullying, school anxiety or anything really. Zero effort made to find out why so many children, literally, hate school. Zero solutions. Just get them in at all costs while talking down to parents, like they're toddlers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Perhaps the only thing to be said for Starmer is that we’ve now seen what a Blue Labour administration looks like and everyone hates it.

Incredible scenes in Genoa, Italy as 50,000 people join a procession to bid farewell to the boats joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza. Over 50 boats from 44 countries, loaded with 100s of tons of food aid, have set sail to Gaza to attempt to break the Israeli siege. (📸 Hidden Palestine)
