"Of those who voted Labour [in 2024], just 37% would vote Labour again". Read that again to absorb the full, astonishing weight of what it means. Starmer, Reeves and co have burnt their house down. news.sky.com/story/greens...

UK wealth has exploded since 1980… but not in a good way.🤯 A new report from @neweconomics.bsky.social explains how national wealth growing from 3× national income in the 1980s to nearly 8× today, is destroying our economy, our democracy, and your budget... 🧵1/6 🔗 neweconomics.org/2026/01/taxi...

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

Yvette Cooper says its appalling that Iran has retaliated to being attacked and she calls on them to stop retaliating. Yes, really.

Nigel Farage to 'rig the rules' in elections with Trumpian plans to restrict who can vote and ban postal votes after by-election defeat. People with indefinite leave to stay will lose the right to vote. The elderly, disabled and busy people will be disenfranchised.

Says everything about mainstream media in the West.

BBC *finally* report on the dozens of Iranian schoolgirls killed — about 32h later.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.

Keir Starmer: the Greens are extremists The Greens: we want people who work hard to have a nice life.

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer

lol

Now watch the billionaire media throw all the dirt it can at the Greens, who could thwart its dream of a Farage government.

Keir Starmer's attempt to paint the Greens as extremists yet again reveals his intolerance of political difference. His instincts are illiberal and authoritarian.

Good morning. If you've just woken up, the politics of hope just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform). It wasn't even close. 40.6% for the Greens. Reform second on 28.7%, Labour third on 25.4%.

The politics of hope are back. The politics of fear are in crisis. New column on the Green victory in Gorton and Denton 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Labour MP Clive Lewis, "Keir Starmer is an interim PM" "We need a radical reset, fundamental change" "The tone of Starmer's Labour which I heard on the doorstep: you're not a Labour party I recognise, what happened to you" "Labour under Keir Starmer is like a pound shop Reform UK"

Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing. "It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."

Despite Labour's dirty tricks, the Greens win, humiliating Starmer. Most Brits are decent people and he can't cope. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform? I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

This is massive, and disgraceful. No organisation called “Tactical Choice” appears to exist.

This is a massive scandal. Labour has invented a made-up tactical vote organisation to trick Gorton and Denton into voting for them. How can this even be legal?

Possibly the most sophisticated calculation of Gorton and Denton possibilities. And clearly the best way to beat Reform is #VoteGreen. Every vote crucial! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Nuclear deregulation lobbyists are getting desperate now. I’m honestly disgusted by how they have tried to smear environmentalists and anyone that corrects their misinformation. Here’s my latest substack debunking them…again 😩 open.substack.com/pub/danicapr...

If Labour followed its own logic, it would now step aside and let the Greens walk home in this crucial by-election. It is hard to imagine how Starmer and co could have made a bigger fist of this - and of everything. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A year ago, I was up against Matt Goodwin - now Reform UK's candidate in the crucial by-election this week - on Question Time. Here's what happened. www.thenational.scot/news/2493544...

What you have to understand is that Carbon Capture and Storage is driven not by environmental concerns but by fossil fuel industry demands. It provides both a new revenue stream (at our expense) and the mother of all greenwashing schemes. Whether it works or not (it doesn't) is entirely irrelevant.

This one hits hard.

England water company bosses raked in £15m+ in pay/perks last yr. £900m dividends paid. Customer bills up 26%. Companies have 1200 criminal convictions. Fines not collected. Sewage dumping killing people. No exec prosecuted. End the scam. Must Nationalise.

In case people have missed it, Josh Simons is the person currently tasked with pushing the Digital ID programme. Just in case you were assuming it’s a benign idea without creepy and concerning implications.

This is great analysis of the risibly functionary Starmer by @nesrinemalik.bsky.social "Keir Starmer has a unique talent – to alienate absolutely everyone". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Iranian regime takes brutality to a whole new level. It will commit any atrocity to maintain its hold on power. The citizens confronting it are among the bravest in the world.

Yvette Cooper's ban of Palestine Action was based on a pack of lies. Absolutely devastating from Huda Ammori

NEW: Read this terrific piece @virginiaheffernan.bsky.social for @thenerve.news in which she unpicks Edge.org, the hugely influential 'salon' funded by Epstein & threaded through with race science & eugenics. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/epstein-bi...

The Talk

The government's banning of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was UNLAWFUL, rules the High Court. This is a massive vindication for those who fought Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people - which is facilitated by our government.

Jeremy Corbyn doesn't share Peter Mandelsons politics & has never had anything to do with him. Keir Starmer kicked Jeremy out of the party (and then gave Peter Mandelson a top govt job) And he actually thinks this is something to boast about? #PMQs

Yep, the #FinancialSector, a threat to the security of us all. "It’s impossible to ignore the stark dissonance between a financial deregulation agenda and warnings that the economy is becoming more vulnerable, not less." www.ft.com/content/8172...

It's disturbing to see how Gordon Brown has whitewashed his reasons for reappointing Mandelson, and his own role in eroding democracy. Mandelson's official business was similar to his unauthorised scheming with Epstein. Don't let them rewrite history. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
