Great to see @andyburnham.bsky.social and Lisa Nandy join Ed Miliband coming out in support of @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party 👏👏👏

Here in Hyndburn we overwhelmingly voted for @lucympowell.bsky.social to be Labour Deputy Leader at last night's CLP. A good friend of Hyndburn and a strong voice for the NW and genuine progressive change, she'll be getting my vote too 🙌

Just sums up Reform doesn't it? 🤷‍♂️

Sultana: It's called "Your Party". Corbyn: Yes, my party.

Mason Humberstone, ex- Lib Dem, ex-Labour, now the latest of the Reformaneers – Pirates of the political system, sailing under whatever flag gets them elected. @reformexposed.bsky.social

Any Labor Councillor who defects to Reform UK was never really a Labour Councillor.

To transform the country and take on the populist right, Labour must heed the voices of its radical realists - and build a principled, practical, popular left alternative. Join @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social and together we can bring that alternative to life. www.mainstreamlabour.org/get-involved

Reform say they are the future, but it’s being staffed by the same faces who spent the last decade setting the house on fire. Now they’re selling fire extinguishers.

Lancashire Country Council's Reform leader wants fracking back in Lancashire. That means earthquakes, polluted water & plummeting house prices. They're coming for our land, our safety, and our future. All so fossil fuel giants can pocket the £££-while Lancashire gets the fallout.

I'm no fan of the Green Party but this nasty personal attack on Zack Polanski really is disgusting.

🟥 As Labour, we must not contort ourselves to chase Reform UK voters by echoing Reform's rhetoric. Our strength lies in our values—centre-left, compassionate and progressive. We need to make a compelling case for those values, not dilute them to complete in a race to the bottom.

Reform call Connolly "Britain's favourite political prisoner" Soft on crime, soft on racism We don't have political prisoners. The woman who posted "“Mass deportation now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care” is not a national treasure, ouside their conference.

Lembit Opik, former Lib Dem and now Reform UK. "I go where the money is". He'll fit in well with Farage and his cronies then.

Lucy Connolly, a woman who admitted inciting racial hatred after using social media to post about setting fire to hotels housing asylum seekers is to speak at the Reform UK Conference today. That spells out all you need to know about Reform UK and their dangerous, hateful agenda.

𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝘆𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. A working-class woman from Stockport.A teenage mum.A care worker.A trade unionist.A council estate kid who climbed to the highest levels of government—not by privilege, but by grit.🧵1

Genuinely sad to see Angela Rayner go. There aren't really any upsides to the whole situation, apart from the fact it takes the limelight off Reform UK's conference.

Reform are the fatberg of politics. Everything nasty ends up glomming onto them.

Reform UK claim to be the party of the people—a bold alternative to the tired old Tories and Labour. But with a parade of ex-Tory MPs defecting, the latest being Nadine Dorries, they’re starting to look less like a revolution and more like a rebranded Tory Party. #sameoldtories

Vote Reform and you're voting to end democracy as we know it in the UK.

Angela Rayner is working with HMRC to put right the stamp duty issue. ✔️ But let’s be clear: the real scandal isn’t the tax—it’s the venom. Misogyny. Classism. “How dare a working-class woman from a council estate own a £800k flat?” That’s the dog-whistle. And it stinks.

Lancashire Reform UK Cllrs said there would be no fracking in Lancashire. But Richard Tice has overruled them and said that fracking in Lancashire is "not ruled out" if they were to take power. Were they being dishonest or have they just rolled over when told to by Tice?

Fractured over fracking? Or not being straight with Lancashire residents? Lancashire Reform UK leaders distance themselves from Richard Tice's "drill, baby, drill" pledge. What a shambles. www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/2542156...

Early morning ward walk before work in the areas around Park Lane, Memorial, Church Street and Queen Street, talking to residents, reporting issues and generally enjoying our beautiful little town of Great Harwood ❤️

Reform UK want to bring back fracking to Lancashire. And that means earthquakes, water contamination and air pollution, as well as huge disruption for local residents. 🧵

Today we gathered at the Accrington Pals Memorial to commemorate VJ Day, when WW2 finally ended. We remember the bravery and sacrifice of those who served in the Far East. Their service will always be honoured and their memory cherished. We will forever be in their debt. 🇬🇧

On this day last year, members of the Great Harwood community chose love not hate and gathered on the Towngate to remember the three little girls who lost their lives in the tragic incident in Southport. 🩷Alice Dasilva Aguiar 🩷Bebe King 🩷Elsie Dot Stancombe One town. One community. ❤️

I'm so glad that Reform UK are bringing the issues that matter to Lancashire County Council's Full Council meeting. Social Care? No. SEN? No. Flags. Yep. Flags. 🙄

Happy 77th birthday to the NHS. The National Health Service stands as a testament to the postwar Labour Party pioneers who had a belief in a better, fairer Britain, and to those heroes who have worked in it and helped us when we've been in need. Thank you 🙏 #NHS77

Good news from the Labour government coming today 🌹 🎯New Social and Affordable Homes Programme, prioritising social rent 🎯Reforms to Right to Buy policy, limiting the loss of social housing 🎯Reforms to Decent Homes Standard, including vital updates to energy efficiency and safety #ukhousing

✊ On this day in 1928, the Representation of the People Act became law — giving women electoral equality with men. Every woman over 21 could now vote, no longer judged by property or marital status.

I’m urging firms to join the government's new IT Reuse for Good Charter and donate old devices to help bridge the digital divide. ♻️ Less e-waste. 💻 More access. 🌍 A better borough. #labourdoorstep #digitalinclusion www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/2527021...)

“You called…and we came” Today is the 77th anniversary of Windrush, where we remember the contribution and courage of a generation that helped to rebuild Britain.

"Hey guys, have you heard about this thing called email? It stands for 'electronic mail' and we'll be able to get rid of all those fax machines and save on paper". Wonder what cost saving measure Lancashire County County Council's Reform leadership will announce next?

Disgusting views. Councillor Andy Osborn (Reform UK - Roman Bank and Peckover) told a Cambridgeshire County Council meeting on June 3 that some children in care were "not just naughty children, they can be downright evil".

No! We will never win as "Reform-lite". We need clear water between Labour and Reform UK. We need kinder, compassionate and progressive politics that creates a fairer, thriving country that rewards hard work and looks after our most vulnerable.

Fantastic to attend my second Great Harwood Pupil Parliament recently and bring along Sarah Smith MP Clr and Noordad Aziz. So good that all of our primary schools work together and it was brilliant to help them plan the Big Tidy event. www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/2519495...

Labour backing business 💪🌹 At Hyndburn Borough Council, we are offering grants to new and established businesses to help them grow, providing a boost to our local economy. #sustainability #growth #innovation #hyndburn #labour www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk/news/hyndbur...

It's the annual Great Harwood Agricultural Show today, a fantastic Bank Holiday day out.

Eight years ago today, Great Harwood chose love not hate, and came together on the Towngate to remember those killed and injured in the Manchester terrorist attack.❤️🐝

Lovely to get out into our fantastic Great Harwood countryside this morning.🏞️🌳

Good to get out into the countryside today, de-stress and enjoy the wonderful views and sunshine. 🏞️☀️ We're so lucky to have these stunning walks literally on our doorstep in Great Harwood.

Great to attend the VE Day ceremony this morning in Accrington and lay a wreath on behalf of Sarah Smith MP. An absolutely fantastic speech from Cllr Mike Booth about how we must continue to fight against the rise of fascism, just as our brave servicemen did all those years ago.

Quick visit back to see my mum and who should I bump into in Fleetwood Asda's pop aisle... Lorraine Beavers MP. Great to have a good catch up! 🌹

May we never forget the soldiers from the UK, the Commonwealth and across the world who fought for our freedoms. And neither should we forget the men and women who contributed to the war effort in other ways, from our farmers and fishermen, to the men and women who worked in our factories. #veday

#OTD 1945. Victory in Europe Day. Britain rejoices after ‘the people have fought and endured five years, eight months and four days of the bloodiest war in history’ May we remember all those who served and all those who contributed to the war effort. #VEDay

If you work for Lancashire County Council, and if you're not a member already, join a union. www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/2514186...

This. Trying to be Reform-lite will only make the situation for Labour worse. We need to get back to our caring, compassionate and progressive roots. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Labour need to stop trying to pander to hardcore Reformers and be Labour again. That doesn't mean a lurch to the Corbyn left of old, it just means being the compassionate, progressive party that is at our heart. We need to get OUR vote out, Reformers are never going to vote Labour.

Great response in Clayton-le-Moors tonight for @noordad.bsky.social and @katewalsh1990.bsky.social 🌹🌹 #VoteLabour #labourdoorstep

Great morning in Great Harwood canvassing for @noordad.bsky.social and @katewalsh1990.bsky.social 🌹 #labourdoorstep
