Post Gorton by election myself and Cllr Mark Rusling have been thinking about how we can beat Reform in our communities... because they are beatable ‘Reform? They haven’t gone away’ labourlist.org/2026/03/refo... – via LabourList

Remembering my mum [sitting down] on IWD. As a high speed wirless operator in Uxbridge she was part of the D Day Operation. She then went to Buckenburg/Bad Eilsen with the WAAF 1945 - 1947. We owe so much to the women before us who have allowed us to have what we have today.

Thank the Lord that Labour is not in the middle of some faux leadership battle right now. Cometh the hour, cometh the man

Reform UK are now down on average five points in the polls from where they were six months ago

Nigel Farage lied multiple times at his press conference today - including saying no-one who voted Green in Gorton and Denton has a job and he's "certain" Reform won most British born voters in the by-election, based on zero evidence, and yet not a single journalist there pushed back on them

Turns out Starmer is rather good at this. Hes getting better by the day having gathered quite a lot of wide ranging experience in last year of difficult international developments - who else currently has this experience and these relationships? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Re Gorton: Andy Burnham would not have won Labour the seat but he may have got Labour into second position. The idea that Burnham would have found 6,000 votes when those claiming that are also saying that it was Gazza is inconsistent to say the least.

Excellent write-up here from @suewilson91.bsky.social for @yorkshirebylines.co.uk on the practical & morally urgent changes we need to make to immigration policy Imagine a govt willing to do what's best to protect migrants' rights AND benefit host communities yorkshirebylines.co.uk/politics/the...

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

● Typical cost of a Business Class flight to Maldives is £3,100 - £3,200+ return ● 2 of those minimum so £6,400+ ● Accommodation minimum of £250-£350 per night. Farage demands finer things in life though so can exceed £1,000 ● Gross household average salary Gorton & Denton £653 per week

Gordon Brown says he has submitted a five page letter to UK police forces, providing new information about the Epstein files, in order to help "secure justice for trafficked girls and women"

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

Dear America - you have a President that has just embarrased himself and your country on the world stage. Please come and collect him as soon as possible as we think he needs his medication. Thanks, Europe

Trump really doesnt understand percentages does he? #davos

This speech from Donald Trump at Davos is wild. The ramblings of an old, deranged man with no knowledge of recent history and no knowledge of facts. Time for people to stand up and walk out at Davos. No one should allow this to have a platform

Trump's cheerleaders said he would be a "global peacemaker" who would make the world "safer and stable" and mocked all those warning about the threat he posed as being "hysterical". Why Trump's apologists need to apologise for their own role in the calamity now unfolding

All of these people - Mogg, Farage, Carswell, Jenrick, Hannan and the rest need to be forever reminded of what they backed and supported

For well over a decade, Nigel Farage criticised Davos and just two years ago criticised Starmer for going and calling him a "full-on globalist, hanging out with his mates at the World Economic Forum." So, question. Where do you think Nigel Farage is going today?

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

So many totally inadequate people have risen to the top. Look at this ridiculous man Thinks he could and should be Prime Minister. Not an original idea in his head and all the charisma of a potato.

Developments moving at an extraordinary pace in Minnesota 🔴 DoJ launches criminal investigations into Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor 🔴 Federal Judge places curbs on police treatment of protesters 🔴 Minnesota Star Tribune says Minneapolis is “under siege” by ICE

NEW: State of MN, Minneapolis & St. Paul have filed a federal lawsuit to halt a federal government "invasion" by ICE agents, arguing the deployment amounts to a constitutional violation and a direct threat to public safety.

An Austrian NATO official sent a blunt warning to Washington: Touch Greenland & Europe seizes US bases. Gunther Fehlinger says if the US annexes Greenland, every American base in Europe—from Germany to Italy to Romania—would be confiscated, ending decades of U.S. military power on the continent.

You’ll notice that the American state media have completely ignored the fact that bribe for hire Pam Bondi hasn’t released a single Epstein file in 2026. They have deliberately and continuously failed humanity.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Ofcom has launched an inquiry into X over sexualised imagery on Grok. It is not currently clear whether or how this will link to Ofcom's need to investigate X over other breaches of its legal duties under the Online Safety Act www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safet...

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

Further embarrassment.

Reform and the Tory Party have launched their new joint Party - please join if you like left overs @YorksBylines @BBCLookNorth @labourpress #NadhimZahawi #Reform

BREAKING NEWS: Reform Party to consider name change to Rehash Party as yet another Tory jumps ship.Like left over food Tories trying to reheat themselves - but we know the shelf life of this dish is very short www.lbc.co.uk/article/all-...

See former Tory chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has defected to Reform UK. Theres now more Tories than actual old style UKIP in Reform now. Should be renamed the Rehash party

After Donald Trump just tweeted out a trolling post that says he's the "Acting President of Venezuela," Venezuelan officials trolled him back by announcing they were indicting him for sex-trafficking and launching impeachment proceedings.

From Politics UK @PolitlcsUK 🚨 NEW: All of Reform's 12 councils will raise council tax this year despite pledging not to in campaigns Some of the planned rises include: Worcestershire - 10% Derbyshire - 4.99% West Northamptonshire - 4.99% Kent - 3.99% Staffordshire - 3.99%

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

The USA is so “in charge” in Venezuela that it is advising all American citizens to leave. 🤡
