That’s the same if Labour win. The greens have cast themselves as saviours when they don’t deserve it, they are far more willing to let Reform win than Labour voters

☀️ Après le froid et la pluie, 25°C attendus en France la semaine prochaine. Une douceur digne d’un début mai ?

We need our media to publicise this man. Scruton's disciple. Orban enabler. Supporter of European right-wing.

Brown urges police probe into whether Andrew used RAF bases to meet Epstein.. If Andrew Windsor abused military bases built to defend the UK, not to let a massively over privileged, free loading creep meet his pimp, then he must face consequences.. far as I’m concerned, hang him out to dry❗️

No one seems to be able to tell me whether @zackpolanski.bsky.social thinks it's ok for rohypnol to be used as a recreational drug. This piece in the Metro suggests he/his people do. Please deny or confirm.

Our UK Labour Government's £50m Wales Defence Growth Deal puts Wales at the centre of Britain’s national security 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I was proud to sign this deal alongside John Healey and Eluned Morgan, unlocking thousands of skilled jobs and new opportunities for businesses across Wales.

What better way to spend a day off than pitching in for the campaign effort to get the amazing Angeliki Stogia elected in Gorton & Denton! I went out on three door-knocking rounds in Denton this afternoon and the returns were positive, but the only poll that counts is polling day on Thursday! 🗳️🌹

Excellent question to Robert Jenrick about his defection to Reform UK 👏 "I just wonder how we can have any faith in politicians who've displayed such naked opportunism?"

Any sign of this on BBC or Sky News? Maybe the Daily Mail? Thought not. ‘Annual retail sales strongest since February 2022’ www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...

Farage Chagos story stinks! #FactChecked 1) it's 700 miles from Maldives not 300 2) 6 days sailing assuming 10 knots for 24 hours a day, not 1 day 3) if yacht departed Malé on Saturday he'd miss Thursday's #GortonAndDenton by-election 4) #AnywhereButClacton HT @TheCraneReport

THINGS HAPPENING NEXT WEEK: - SOTU - Clintons testify before House Oversight Committee re: Epstein controversy THINGS TO EXPECT NEXT WEEK: - Alien disclosure - Bomb Iran - They ‘find’ Nancy Guthrie - Another assassination attempt. - Pants shitting - All the above PREPARE ACCORDINGLY

Sorry Laila, no MP can visit without pre clearance. It is a serious Military base which does serious work. It doesn’t need a pub bore like Nigel ( who didn’t even appoint a defence spokesperson this week) performing MAGA stunts.

CUBA HAS FALLEN UNDER A CRUSHING U.S. OIL BLOCKADE AND PEOPLE ARE LIVING IN NEAR-APOCALYPTIC CONDITIONS — AND OUR NEWS BARELY TALKS ABOUT IT!!! 🇨🇺⛽⚡😳📉🔥 lnginnorthernbc.ca/2026/02/22/c...

Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus - human trials are now being planned This is the type of updated vaccine we need to truly 'go back to normal.' Our current reality sacrifices certain people for 'back to brunch' www.bbc.com/news/article...

Myth: Offshore wind isn’t a game-changer. Reality: The UK is stepping up with 15MW turbines from Vestas! These beasts are boosting efficiency and cutting emissions in a big way. Denmark is showing us that bigger blades lead to lower costs and quicker climate gains. Wind power is here to stay! 🌬️⚡

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

I just read this piece properly. @zackpolanski.bsky.social are your people really suggesting that it's ok to use date rape drugs "for recreational purposes". Please tell us that you /your people didn't really say this .

And here is Mandelson emailing Epstein boasting about his role in ushering out Brown www.bbc.com/news/article.... so 4/

there's a competitive victimhood in British politics. voters can only be seen as worthy if they are 'left behind', so everyone has to claim that status

Over 300 activists out today across Gorton & Denton (despite the rain) - here’s a snapshot.

Parliament is back tomorrow and our Labour government are giving us a big day with the Universal Credit (Removal of Two Child Limit) Bill back for it's remaining stages in the Commons. The bill will life the 2-child cap on benefits payments and life 450k children out of poverty! 1/2

Good thread from Marina. 🙏🙏

Like Corbynites & other populists, what the Greens ultimately don't want to admit is that there are side effects, externalities, unintended consequences & perverse incentives created by *every* choice you make in politics. All of them. There are no cost-free interventions. But that ruins the vibe.

For too long too many children haven’t had the support they need to succeed. Labour will transform our schools system so every child can achieve & thrive. #Labour

The Greens are running a classic motte-and-bailey strategy on this issue. Polanski goes out there & makes extravagantly liberal statements, but when tough questions like "where exactly is ethical cocaine coming from" arise, activists retreat to milquetoast ideas such as needle exchanges.

Seems the recommendation of voting Greens there is based on a survey of 452 people in a constituency of ~120k. That survey also filtered out "don't knows". Could be right, of course, but seems like a lot of assumption and extrapolation of limited data going on too.

A rare headline question to which the answer is: "Yes. Obviously." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour announce policy to ensure more children are protected from deadly viruses! Changes to the GP contract for 2026/27 will include additional help for GPs to improve and strengthen vaccination delivery where it is needed most. In turn, this will protect more children and stop deadly outbreaks.

À Kyiv pour réaffirmer notre soutien au peuple ukrainien. Sentinelles de l’Europe, ils se battent avec un courage inouï depuis 4 ans. Alors que les bombardements russes s'intensifient privant plus d'un million d'habitants d'électricité, Paris a livré 8 générateurs au services publics de Kyiv.

Closer examination of the Epstein files provokes fresh questions about Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy and his brother Christian’s development of the One Hyde Park super-prime apartment block: messages within the latest release appear to contradict their tax-avoiding account of the project.

What does the future of Britain’s railways look like? I saw it for myself at York Station🚉 From complex signalling to tough weather and busy routes, apprentices get hands on, high tech training that builds real confidence. 🎮🌧️ York has been at the heart of the railways and it will continue to be.💪

I realise that it is not a universally popular view, but I think that we are fortunate to have Keir Starmer as our Prime Minister in these somewhat unpredictable and volatile times. Any of the current alternatives could be disastrous.

Plenty have clocked how Nigel Farage talks to women journalists — pure condescension: “listen, love,” “go write your silly little story.” Know your place. No shock from a man who praises Andrew Tate. The real surprise? It’s only being called out now.

Farage is in the Maldives. 200 miles away from the Chagos Islands which are not a tourist destination. Hasn't got the paperwork and wasn't on the 'aid boat' he's pointing at which is trying to establish a settlement for four people on the islands. How is this serving Clacton? Who paid?

This is excellent and long overdue.. don’t let perfect tho get in the way of better .. this is such a first step improvement it needs ALL Labour MPs to back it up.. there is no other political party able , competent or willing to do anything this radical.. and thousands of children will benefit !

My column in today’s Sunday Mirror - a call to Mancs (and others!) 👇🏻 @politics.mirror.co.uk Please buy a copy of the paper too.

Don't be fooled by Johnson's supposed advocacy for Ukraine.. He betrayed Ukraine in 2014 ..

Boris Johnson colluding with right wing Americans to undermine the UK. Where have I heard this before? bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

My cats Midnight, Luna and Bella are cherished members of my family. This government is delivering the biggest reforms to animal welfare in a generation and the consultation to reform the Veterinary Surgeons Act will make pricing clearer and protect pets and their owners. #LoveYourPetDay

Not to put a damper on everyone’s weekend but the president is saying he’s going to ignore the ruling of the Supreme Court and that’s a textbook Constitutional crisis. Is there a plan?

Bridget Phillipson, Education Secretary: "For too long maternity pay for teachers has been too poor. Today our Labour government is taking a first step towards changing that — doubling the number of weeks at full pay. With Labour, change is coming for school staff." www.lbc.co.uk/article/teac...

The only party that can defeat Reform is Labour - great to be out on the doorsteps in Gorton and Denton today with our brilliant by-election candidate Angeliki Stogia and so many Labour friends🌹 #VoteLabour on 26 February

Inside the Farage's Reform rally that left FT reporters speechless. #UKMedia

Rant incoming. For the second day running I'm waiting on the chat thingy with John Lewis trying to find out what has happened to the package that Evri (fuck them) is supposed to be delivering. They are lying bastards and I hope no one has stolen My! New! Trousers! Thanks for listening .🙏

Does Nigel Farage have a problem with women? 'Reproductive rights and equality campaigners reacted in horror after Farage hired James Orr, a rightwing theologian who opposes abortion even in cases of rape, incest or serious risk to health, as his head of policy' www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Incredible news about the Reform UK Chair for Bath, Tim Nott. He likes to dress as a Nazi, and has an interesting chest tattoo… There’s reenactment, and there’s dressing as Himmler’s SS.

Nigel Farage skips £20m 'Love Clacton' meet to schmooze backers 300 miles away www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Here’s my reply to your letter yesterday Zack Polanski - a reply that took you three weeks to draft
