Basically, we need to be finding Traitor viewers that would rather be Faithfuls than Traitors to get the Labour vote out for the next set of elections. 🤷‍♂️

Lee Anderson boasts about “gaming the system” at Citizens Advice—then uses it to justify slashing support for anxious young people. This isn’t a critique of CAB. It’s a dubious confession from a Reform MP who sees compassion as weakness and lived experience as fraud.

With every single day, it becomes more and more apparent that Brexit was the biggest act of self-sabotage in British history, where we chose to follow a rose-tinted non-existant nostalgia over national interest. Voting Reform just doubles down and accelerates this disaster.

Corbyn & Sultana back on speaking terms—cue the Gallagher comparisons. But let’s be honest: we’re not at the 2025 stage of the Oasis journey. We’re still in the early albums era. A couple of bangers, then a messy fallout.

I've just voted for @lucympowell.bsky.social to be Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.

This.

NEW: @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social endorses @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader of the Labour Party. In a special ballot, 82.2% of Mainstream members voted to endorse Lucy. Labour’s Mainstream wants the party and government to be reset in line with pluralist, democratic socialist values.

One minute Reform UK are promising £350 cuts to council tax for everyone... next minute they're RAISING it. They over promised and are now under delivering, under the spotlight and under pressure.

Great show of support for @lucympowell.bsky.social for Deputy Leader at Rochdale AFC Angela Rayner gave the North West a powerful voice—Lucy’s ready to carry that torch and reconnect Labour with its membership. Huge thanks to @elsieblundellmp.bsky.social for hosting such a brilliant event.

This is the person the Tories voted to be their leader. Their very best. And they wonder why they're in freefall. 🤦‍♂️😬

🟢💚 Think the Green Party is solidly left-wing? Think again. In Hyndburn, the Greens enabled a Tory takeover. Their councillors didn’t just abstain—they struck a grubby backroom deal that handed control of the council to the Conservatives. #GreenPartyConference #shytories

This is brilliant news. But let's get it right first time. Only lifting the cap completely will suffice. Raising it to 3 or 4 children still condemns 000s into poverty, and limiting it to working parents to drive more people into employment will not be acceptable. tinyurl.com/2f9wfykn

Got to say, Rachel Reeves handed that interruption brilliantly 👏👏👏

100% agree with this from Bella Sankey and @thangamdebbonaire.bsky.social The Green Party are absolutely ruthless in their pursuit of power and are not our friends. Here in Hyndburn, they formed a coalition with the Tories. Green by name, chameleon by nature. labourlist.org/2025/09/labo...

Great to meet up with my fellow @labourhousinggroup.bsky.social colleague Andy Bates today before the Accrington Stanley vs Walsall game. As members of the social housing working group, it was good to meet up in real life and discuss all things social housing.

Wherever you stand on the issue, your phone is a bigger risk to your privacy than an ID card.

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.

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.

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.
