Labour are once again favourites with Ladbrokes to win the most seats at the next General Election - narrowly. Labour at 13/8 with Reform at 7/4 (14/8) and the Conservatives at 11/2 The election is probably over three years away: Reform lead the polls, but have dipped to 28% from 31%

What a very silly, naive and self regarding person. Why cut off a route to power 3 years from a GE. Will he do a deal with Farage, Badenoch?

On this day in 1971, it was the decimalisation of the UK currency.

‘I wouldn’t touch a Jewish woman’: Meet the Reform team in Gorton and Denton manchestermill.co.uk/goodwins-gan...

Labour figures are increasingly confident that they can hold Gorton & Denton – with Burnham playing a big part in the campaign, despite being blocked as the candidate The mayor features prominently in Labour literature seen by PolHome, while the party plans to send letters signed by him to voters

Hi I’m Chris Mason as BBC Political Editor I’m paid £270,000 a year for glib comments about the Govt & championing Reform UK As a “professional ex journalist” I love mixing metaphors such as this corker “A lightening conductor for the bumps in the road ahead” Sounds great don’t it❗️👌🏼 1)

"Dear Neighbour, My name is Patricia Clegg. I'm a 74 year old pensioner and I'm writing to explain that my last letter wasn't a cynical piece of propaganda that blatantly breached election law..."

BOUIE: “.. I try to avoid superlatives in my writing, but there is simply no question that this is the most flagrant display of presidential racism since Woodrow Wilson screened D.W. Griffith’s ‘The Birth of a Nation’ in the White House in 1915.” @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

This is what Levenshulme was like today, but there are not a lot of Green voters in Denton. Green voters could let Reform in.

Mr Rathfelder points to a very real danger. Vote Green = get a racist, ethno-nationalist grifter representing Levenshulme.

Anyone who thinks what's happening is the worst political scandal this century, in this country should take a stroll down to the Covid Memorial Wall.

Our train services are now so bad in Yorkshire that we have to factor in huge delays and begin our journeys as fish so we will have evolved into human beings by the time we get to Manchester

Nigel Farage was screaming to scrap furlough because it was a waste of money, while he had already claimed £120,000 for himself. He is a fraud every word is a lie.

Andy Burnham out today giving his full backing to Labour candidate Angeliki Stogia for Gorton and Denton. Andy was clear - we are united against the division of Reform

With Advance UK putting up a candidate in Gorton and Denton as well as Reform, there is a real danger of splitting the all-important thick racist fuckwit vote.

BREAKING: Angeliki Stogia announced as Labour candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election

Angeliki Stogia announced as Labour candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election

Couldn't happen to a nicer Nazi.

I know I'm biased, but I honestly can't see the point of reading anything else but @robfordmancs.bsky.social's deep dive on the Gorton and Denton contest. Tells you all you need to know.

David Lammy makes it clear waiting lists are down over 300,000, 5.2M extra appointments, 3,000 more GP’s & ambulance response times down. He attacks Reform for wanting to privatise our NHS & makes it clear Labour will never let it happen! #PMQs

New challenge for locals is to feed increasingly absurd ways to pronounce 'Levenshulme' to all the first-time visiting journalists and political campaigners.

George Galloway’s boys are standing in Gorton and Denton to make sure Reform win. Sectarian idiots as always.

Braverman says she's been "politically homeless" for over 2 years, which means she was reelected in 2024 as an MP for a party she didn't want to be a member of. And she says Tories "failed Britain [on] Brexit and immigration". She was Brexit minister and Home Secretary. Twice. But "vote for me!"

I'm dead against the proposed new housing development near us but the group formed in opposition to it is so full of flag-shaggers, illiterates, reactionaries and general numpties that I'm actually coming around to the idea that some new neighbours might be a good thing.

Nigel Farage attended Davos as an adviser to an Iranian billionaire. Doesn't get much more anti-establishment than that, right?

@andyburnham.bsky.social don't do it! You could well lose, Labour could well lose the mayoralty, you could trash your brand, your legacy will be of a man who blew it for himself and the people of Manchester. Vanity is a terrible thing.

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has called on Donald Trump to apologise for his "insulting and frankly appalling" comments about British troops in Afghanistan 👏

That feeling when you fly all the way to Davos to see Trump, make a speech about why the tangerine turd should invade a NATO ally, only to find that he won’t see you and completely chickens out of his threats about Greenland.

Thank goodness I'm not Angela Raynor, otherwise the press would have hounded me out of office.

Mark Rutte is one of the most successful political operators of the last 5 years and he’s a cyclist!

NEW: NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct. He failed to declare £333,000 in outside interests (more than 3x MPs annual salary)…

I'm sorry I accidentally broke the law. Again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. It was an accident. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh boo sodding hoo Nigel Farage has claimed he doesn't make "any money" from his £94,000 salary as an MP www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Did you know in 2022 Andrew Rosindell Tory MP who just joined Reform was arrested by Met on suspicion of indecent assault, sexual assault, & rape for events occurring between 2002 -2009 2024 Met dropped it lacking enough evidence for threshold to prosecute Which makes him perfect for Reform❗️🥴

Farage entryists destroyed the Tory Party. And now Tory entryists are about to destroy Farage. It's like watching a game of Gobshite Tennis.

“Robert Jenrick is the man who as Immigration Minister oversaw the open borders experiment that led to the biggest increase in illegal immigration in our country” Labour's Steve Reed reacts to Robert Jenrick's decision to defect from the Conservatives to Reform UK

"The flag acts as a warning sign: a silent message. It makes you more vigilant…you go into a house with a flag, you have to prepare emotionally for the possibility of racism or rejection” This is Farage’s ‘patriotism’ in action. It’s not pride. It’s intimidation. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/ful...

Anti-racism campaigners and unions have voiced their horror after Nigel Farage doubled down on his decade-old call for anti-discrimination laws to be ripped up so employers can discriminate www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

This afternoon’s meme…

❓"Do you think that Brexit has actually delivered what people were promised?" ⬇️ "An economy that look's like it's 8% smaller. Trade down 18% on 5 years ago. Food and drink down 24%." ❌ "16,500 firms have stopped trading with Europe." 📝 "Paperwork costs appear to be about £8.5 billion/year."

Ted Lieu: “The reason Acting President of Venezuela Donald Trump sucks at running Venezuela is because he sucks at running the United States of America — we ask Donald Trump to be the President of America, not the President of Venezuela” Is neither a choice - I choose neither

Nigel Farage confirms Reform would vote against the two child benefit cap - and against lifting hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty

“Can I begin by saying I hope all colleagues had a happy Christmas. It probably feels quite along time ago now, but not for Reform of course because today is the day that they celebrate Christmas in Russia” Keir Starmer #PMQs

Just a gif of the EU flag projected onto the London Eye as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's London's New Year's Day fireworks 😀 The UK is £90 billion a year poorer because of Brexit i.e. tax rises and spending cuts, it's absurd One day soon the madness will end and the UK will #RejoinEU ☺️

When infrastructure design details are rigid enough to give consequences rather than forgiveness to motorists, only then will we see a shift from recklessness to attentiveness behind the wheel.
