Happy Christmas from the (privatised) Royal Mail...

Lee Anderson out campaigning for the Gorton and Denton by-election.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet members and comrades of Huddersfield TUC last night and to present on a trade union response to the threat of the radical right in the UK. We are many - they are few! @unitetheunion.bsky.social @uniteneyh.bsky.social

𝑫𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 - 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒔...

Reform MP Lee Anderson sharing pics campaigning for the Gorton and Denton by-election outside Stanley House Function Rooms - which is in the wrong constituency..

Remembering the 6 million Jews alongside millions of people with disabilities, Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, and political dissidents murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Cllr Ed Fordham is leading Chesterfield's memorial event today at 5pm: Town Pump, Market Square.

This is precisely why a by-election should be called whenever an MP defects to another party. Fareham and Waterlooville did not want a Reform MP (they came fourth in the GE):

"𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝑷𝒊𝒌𝒆!"...

Response from Andy Burnham to the decision by Labour's NEC - speaks volumes in the penultimate and final para...

Looks like Labour’s NEC has blocked Andy Burnham's request to seek selection for the Gorton and Denton byelection. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Murdered by MAGA. RIP Alex Jeffrey Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.

Bring. It. On. Andy Burnham's letter to the Chair of Labour’s National Executive Committee seeking permission to enter the selection process for a candidate for the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election

Nige loves money - anybody's money.

During the Vietnam war, Trump dodged the draft FIVE times: four for education and one for bone spurs in his heels.

Looking forward to speaking to comrades at @huddersfieldtuc.bsky.social this Tuesday about the trade unions' response to the threat of the far right.

In what world are two war criminals invited to join a Board of Peace...?

Watched it too: very, very good.

Are ICE officers on piece rate...?

Less the next prime minister of the UK and more the governor of the 51st State: Farage spent his time in Davos undermining the allies' position on Greenland, praising Mango Mussolini for his stance on the Chagos Islands and repeating "the world would be a safer place if the USA was in Greenland".

Plus they have a three-for-two offer on choc ices...

FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!!! Greens gain from Reform in Horsley - well done everyone who did their bit💚 Condolences to the other, non-racist parties - especially my friend John Cowings from Labour - your day will come💕

Putting to one side the fact that he failed to declare all 17 of these outside interests - isn't it a scandal that a sitting MP is raking in this in additional to £94K salary - especially bearing in mind the opportunities for lobbying from these, ahem, benefactors?

The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland welcomes Trump.

He's gone hasn't he? www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

And that's just the tip of the fatberg...

Ladies and gents I give you Reform UK's leader of Derbyshire County Council in peak delusion mode:

1984's becoming a blue print: The world is split into three super states: Oceania (black), Eurasia (red), and Eastasia (yellow). 'Disputed territories' (constantly being fought over) are indicated in grey.

Well I'll go to th' foot of our stairs...

And there you have it: Today Sergey Lavrov, Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs says: “If Greenland is ‘U.S. security,’ then Crimea is ‘Russian security”. Trump is normalising colonialism and every dictator on earth will follow his lead.

In a further update on the UK's "special relationship" with the USA, this morning Trump accuses the UK of “great stupidity” over Diego Garcia an uses it as further stampy footy demands for Greenland.

We are truly living in a parallel universe...

What fresh hell is this from the orange one? Donald Trump tells Jonas Gahr Støre (Norwegian PM) he's invading Greenland because Norway didn’t give him the Nobel Peace Prize...

I hope these people get justice. Not only for themselves but for all the people who can’t afford to go to court and had their lives ruined by this vile excuse for a newspaper. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

Andrew Rosindell MP eh? Another great judge of character...

When the ventriloquist is 'under the weather' but the dummy keeps on talking...

Go Andy❣️

Anti-Reform UK leafleting in Horsley for @hopenothate.org.uk this morning. The by-election was called after yet another newly-elected Reform councillor stood down from Derbyshire County Council. Currently Reform and the Greens are neck and neck. You know what to do Horsley! #keepthefacistsout

I'm with Ian Byrne MP. The Hillsborough Law must be implemented in its entirety not watered down. The victims and their families deserve nothing more. #justiceforthe97

Note to Reform UK voters who thing that all the bad stuff is only going to happen to someone else...

There is no way this is coincidental. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Privatisation of water is the sickest joke every played on us: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Brilliant!

Protest works: Grok now won’t undress women and children even for paid users. The UK's rejection of the techno-libertarian worldview is a huge and overwhelmingly blow to big tech. More of this please!

Excellent two days of meetings with with @uniteneyh.bsky.social colleagues at my first Regional Committee in Leeds💪 #JoinAUnion @unitetheunion.bsky.social

In 1970 the bankers in Ireland went on strike. They were out for over six months and the overall effect on the Irish economy was miniscule as the Irish economy continued to function.

Lloyds' boss is in line for an annual pay packet worth more than £13m following the decision to lift the cap on banker bonuses. Last year Barclays' chief exec was handed a 45% pay rise, HSBC's a 43% increase, and NatWest's chief exec a 43% increase. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

On the run up to the 2016 Brexit referendum, City bosses backed EU membership and warned of widespread disruption and job losses to the continent. Now, however, few are keen to encourage closer alignment because (checks notes) it would mean a curb on their bonuses.

'Patriot' and self-styled 'protector of women and girls' invites foreign administration to take action against own country's government in order to protect paedophiles' "free speech"...

Sooo the trillionaire owner of X hasn't stopped people from using his platform to create kiddie porn - he has monetarised it instead...

Psychopaths.
