Wes Streeting, the member for Palantir North.

I don't know why you're so confused? The disgraced former head of Morgan McSweeney's Labour Right think tank is stepping down to create a space for soft left Andy Burnham to run and remove the Prime Minister he closely supported. This is the Labour party, that's normal.

How long do we have to continue with the utter farce of this deeply corrupt spiv being considered seriously for our highest political office? Farage should be nowhere near power… but it seems it’s being bought for him by a crypto billionaire who thinks everything’s for sale. Including our democracy.

Begging that at least one Labour mp comprehends this (unlikely)

"If Labour thinks Wes Streeting is the answer, they obviously don’t know the question the country is asking." @zackpolanski.bsky.social responds to Health Secretary Wes Streeting's resignation.

Fuck Wes Streeting

The next Labour leader's first job is to move all the Labour party's and the government's social media accounts from X to Bluesky. British mainstream media will then have to follow suit. Maybe, then they will get a more accurate reflection of public opinion rather than from Elon Musk's sewer.

If Wes Streeting becomes Labour leader, they will be firmly slotted in to the "must never win a General Election" slot with Reform and the Tories. For however bad Starmer is, Streeting is a whole other level of toxic. Then with Ed Davey calling us Greens "extremists"...

Every once in awhile I'll go over to Twitter & see what it's like, & I'm just absolutely horrified every time. Why would I post there? Being on the left effectively got me shadow banned by Elon The ads are ridiculously overwhelming The AI stuff is a horror show

A message to Keir Starmer ahead of the King's Speech.

Did you see this latest Farage development yet?

A good thing to have an FM from outside Cardiff too (Alun Michael+Eluned Morgan represented Mid+West but Cardiff people!),the north needs a voice.Challenges are vast,funding is scarce & insufficient powers to improve lives.But of the view that Plaid have ideas+energy to transform 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.Congrats Rhun 😀👏🎉

Wes Streeting's favourite cheese is Babybel.

If Wes Streeting was in one of the Alien films, he'd be the untrustworthy android that sells everyone out.

One chart explaining to Labour members why Starmer has to go for them

We need a leader* of the moment... Too out of touch to meet the challenges of the moment... His* time has passed... It's time 2026 Starmer reflected on his own words.

Exc - The Guardian understands that two senior cabinet ministers – Yvette Cooper, the foreign secretary, and Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary – told the prime minister he should oversee an orderly transition of power.

You've watched us do this. You have a free preview of the grim and terrible ending. Knowing didn't save us. It might save you. Get organised. You're further along the curve than we were in 2014. Good luck. You're going to need it. — @therickwilson.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/05/08/r... 12/12

BBC News saying Reform have "come out of nowhere". No, they haven't. First they were UKIP, and then they were The Brexit Party, and with every incarnation, they've been amplified and boosted by the BBC, with Farage given record appearances on Question Time and other panel shows. #Reform #BBCqt

Catherine West MP, the fresh perspective that Labour needs: a Labour Friends of Israel member who has attended transphobic events and voted in line with the Starmer government over Palestine and disability cuts

This is a real and repeated problem and it’s so easy to fix for a marginal additional cost! Just randomise ballot order!

The Onion ass headline

This is the same man pontificating about how you "don't change pilots mid-flight*" in reference to Starmer quitting as PM. *basic airline protocol, typically in shifts of 3-4 hours.

Greens aside, I'm delighted that Plaid Cymru have won the most seats in the Senedd, and Rhûn ap Iorweth will likely be the next First Minister. Ardderchog!

For the smallest funded national party with at least one MP, this is remarkable.

72%!!!! *Moves to Sheffield* Or Leeds. Or Oxford...

Reform don't really want to win control of the Senedd or Westminster. They're permanent whingers, blaming everyone and everything (besides rich white men) for everything they see as wrong with society. Their dream scenario is to be the biggest party in both, but not be in Government.

First Ever Green Senedd member 🎉 Anthony Slaughter has been elected to the Senedd in Caerdydd Penarth – huge congratulations!

The only potential saving grace for Labour? People loathe the leader, not the party. That said, there's no obvious replacement to appeal to the wider electorate, and in particular head off both the Greens *and* Reform. Centrism (at best) is so 97-10. Stand for something, or stand for nothing.

🚨 GREEN MILESTONE 🚨 For the first time, the Green Party has 1,000 councillors 💚 Congratulations to Cllr Maxine Webb - the 1,000th Green Party councillor - on being elected to Norfolk County Council 🎉

"Two party politics is not just dying, it is dead and it is buried" - Zack Polanski Zack discusses the rise in the Green Party vote share after celebrating the election of Zoë Garbett as Mayor of Hackney.

Greens up (+18), Reform gains (6), while Labour sheds 21. Greens with 37% of the popular vote.

BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!

If only they had listened to Morgan McSweeney

Can someone put this to music please?

The inevitable drubbing for the party in government at local elections and people so fed up with the things not magically being fixed so vote for the bad man who caused it all!

Pls don't tell me local elections for don't matter when it's the far right ppl are voting for. Stakes are a little too high for some of us to be that complacent

Good morning. What do we know so far about patterns of voting in the local elections in England?

This Thursday polls will open across the country. Don't miss out on your chance to vote for real hope and real change. Vote Green on the 7th May 💚

It's Greens Vs Labour/Reform/Tories. Pick your side. Join.greenparty.org.uk

think that's the rest of 2026 ruined for me if I'm honest, we go again next year

So, I've got some questions for Nigel Farage, about his £5m gift. Here's one: "You have previously stated that on police advice, you hold no parliamentary surgeries…Given that we now know you have a large private security budget, why are you unable to hold constituency surgeries?" Here's the rest:

Leaflet Scores on the doors so far: Greens: 4 Lib Dems: 3 Tories: 2 Plaid: 2 Ref/Lab: 1 Genuinely amazed by every number here, other than the Tories. Pleasantly surprised the Greens are so high, amazed that the Lib Dems have bothered to do 3, shocked by Plaid/Ref/Lab being so low.

"Young people leave Wales because there are no job opportunities. We need to make society work for young people, building a green industrial revolution with jobs in clean energy that can thrive in our communities." Anthony Slaughter on opportunities for young people on BBC Wales leaders’ debate.

Anti trans organisations always reach for the ‘bully boy’ tactics to force others to submit to their will. You’ve seen it with the likes of the EHRC, and Sex Matters.

Nigel Farage asked on BBC news this morning if he'd debate with me. Says he's too busy with the local elections & it will just be a "big row." I've been asking him for months. Someone's running scared? Vote Green.

Lately, when someone says "Labour are going to get absolutely hammered" it's hard to tell whether they mean on May 7th or in the subsidised bar.
