Im not sure how many of us Hannah has bothered to talk to before writing this, but it’s insulting and over simplistic. I would suggest she engages with colleagues, rather than making populist slurs like this - feeding anti trust in politics. Really disappointing tbh.

"I'm the only real person in the House Commons". Dreadful self-regarding delusion from the Greens' newest MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Labour Government have achieved, or are on course to achieve, 73 of their 95 manifesto pledges in just 21 months. Thats some kind of impressive achievement. fullfact.org/government-t...

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.

Farage wants to scrap postal voting to protect democracy. I work 12 hour shifts in Peterborough, the city he has called a rotten borough twice. Without a postal vote I do not vote. That is the point.

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

One of the best scenes of London 2012 was teams of enthusiastic volunteers at Heathrow to welcome Olympic athletes to the UK. Contrast to the US welcoming football squads to the World Cup in 2026. Fat armed thugs await. What a welcome.

There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.

Trump is panicking. His latest threats to blow up Iran’s power plants within 48 hours if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened is thick with desperation. It reads like we’re finally arriving at the narcissistic collapse stage where he grasps he’s losing and lashes out hysterically.

Once again I come back to the complete shock and panic we're going to get next week if this carries on and the consequences sink in. The British public is nowhere near prepped or aware. This is still 'stupid conflict a long way away'

Bridget Phillipson: "When I became Education Secretary, I said we'd drive a sea change in the way we approached the early years. These stats show progress: Childcare costs halved Working parents now saving £8,000 a year Cost of a childcare place dropped back to 2005 levels" t.co/2VPpSp8IR0

🚨 UPDATE: Labour has halved the cost of childcare for families. Source: www.coramfamilyandchildcare.org.uk/research/chi....

I hope the Labour Party press office is compiling a long list of clips & quotes from Farage, Badenoch, the Tories, Reform & almost all UK right wing commentators who condemned Keir for not joining the Trump/Netanyahu attack on #Iran & are now pretending they didn’t because oil prices are going up.

Badenoch, Polanski are very quiet. Davey is making silly juvenile points. This governing mullarkey is not easy, is it guys?

An example of the reality of being UK Prime Minister at this time. Getting it from the right & then the left over action on Iran. He can't win & he can't please everyone, which is an indication that the Govt. is following a sensible & practical course, without the political ideology of others.

💬 "But Labour doesn’t need to become a pale imitation of Zack Polanski and the Greens any more than it needs to become a pale imitation of Nigel Farage and Reform." 🔴 Darren Johnson, writes for LabourList after going viral for announcing he had left the Green Party and joined Labour👇 buff.ly/RGeITh9

It also shows that Zalanski is out of touch with not only the public in general but Green Party supporters too.

Again, Farage, Badenoch and their fellow travellers on X are wildly out of touch with the public on Iran. Even the majority of Reform supporters oppose their position.

Kemi Badenoch says Labour MPs are "orcs and goons" with "no idea" Starmer: "Moments like this define the Leader of the Opposition. They can either step up, act in the national interest... or they can expose their utter irrelevance. She has chosen the second" #PMQs

Badenoch was disgraceful at #PMQs today. People are terrified about the war in the Middle East. What was needed was a mature respectful exchange. It shouldn’t have been an opportunity for her to try and score cheap points about the welfare state whilst baying for escalation no one wants.

Polanski is a liar. This is not the first time he has lied. I doubt it will be the last.

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

His critics won't give him any credit but Starmer is NOT rolling over to have his tummy tickled by Trump. Unlike Badenoch and Farage.

Refusing Trump permission to use British bases in Fairford Gloucestershire, Cyprus and Diego Garcia to mount a unilateral attack on Iran against international law takes a lot of courage. We know Starmer has been threatened by Trump, particularly over Chagos. International Law, upheld. 👏👏

Base opportunism. No minister can or should give absolute guarantees about UK military responses, be it guarantees of a response or refraining from one, whether in the current situation or any other. A responsible party leader would respect that.

I don't care what the 'correct' way to attack the Green's is the truth is Polanski is as bad for politics as many of the people he says he opposes. Peddling easy answers with no idea how he'd implement them and absolutely no regard as to how deceiving voters in this way harms politics.

One of the first priorities of this Labour government was to make people safer and more secure at work. Today Reform are revealing their true colours, they'll roll back our rights, reinstate fire and rehire and give bad bosses the freedom to behave as they want.

One of Labour's political challenges is that those things it has done that is popular tend not to be well known or high profile to the general public A Reform threat to repeal employment rights is therefore a significant political opportunity, if they can seize it.

Another poll exercise found that showing the proposals, arguments for, and arguments shifted views of the government positively - which suggests Labour should embrace the chance to debate Reform's case for repeal to increase awareness + salience of the reforms www.theguardian.com/law/2025/apr...

I hate being that guy who blames the BBC for everything but, really? A party says they want a UK version of ICE and it's reported as just another policy detail. Most UK voters would be horrified if they were told realistically what is being proposed.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Labour lead the way on green issues....while the Green Party appears to have all but dropped green issues from their agenda in favour of far-left populism and promoting their leader as an infallible saviour. If you care about green issues right now, there is only one party in the UK who... 1/2

On the one hand yikes but on the other Labour is 5 points away from Reform having spent the last 18 months desperately trying to make itself as unelectable as possible. A position I would say it is possible to recover from. So crack on with it.

Farage has announced his Shadow Cabinet, with no Health Secretary. Presumably because if he becomes Prime Minister, there’ll be no NHS.

Reform and the Greens. Soft on Russia. Weak on NATO.

Vote Reform, get The Handmaid's Tale. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

While there is justified outrage about Mandelson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor &others, the relentless media focus on Keir Starmer (who was NOT mentioned in any Epstein file) is overdone. By contrast, no focus on Farage who WAS mentioned (and who, BTW, applauded the appointment of Mandelson)…

That’s them told 👍

Tommy Robinson-backed Reform candidate Matt Goodwin still hasn’t said a single word about whether he welcomes his endorsement. It should be simple to condemn Tommy Robinson and say he wants nothing to do with him and rejects his support. Why won’t he?

REFORM - leading in the polls - charges prospective candidates £125 to apply to run as an MP - before selecting a GB News host who is a colleague of the party leader and one of his MPs to run instead. You'd honestly think this was newsworthy. But apparently not.

It's telling how Green people keep trying to twist what Polanski did with Thypnoboobs stuff because it is entirely indefensible and speaks hugely to his character. It's a puff piece. He is directly quoted saying his hypnosis can have a physical effect. He's lying to vulnerable women for publicity.

Only Labour can defeat Reform in Gorton and Denton. A vote for the Greens or any other party risks them getting in. We are a tolerant, proud, progressive city and we don’t want their divisive brand of politics here.

Matt Goodwin says this is "a chance for the hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying people," such as his boss, Nigel Farage, who doesn't do his job in parliament, lied about why he avoided constituency work, admitted to breaking 17 laws last week alone, and still faces questions about tax avoidance.

"We aren't petty - he is being selfish and irresponsible in trying to walk out on this important job and we won't stand for that." Regardless of how important this really is as a factor in any decision to block Burnham it is a plausible - because accurate - argument to justify doing so.

So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Farage and Badenoch have done some shabby stuff but priming Trump about the Chagos Islands to embarrass Starmer and trash NATO is the shabbiest.

Nigel Farage has said he's “not making any money as a result of being an MP”. MP's salary is £94k, putting him in the top 5% of earners. Meanwhile he votes to keep workers on exploitative zero-hours contracts and denies them sick pay.
