I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

This is a masterclass in what you can get out of a difficult interviewee, and how much you can let a person reveal themselves when they don't even realise they are doing it. Fantastically written, and the ending is 👌

It's not that AI is useless.

It's that AI is useful like asbestos was useful.

just listened to a very interesting emergency episode of the rest is politics, which was particularly insightful about using fake evidence to launch an illegal war

This is appalling, solidarity Mothin

This is a defamatory lie @AlecShelbrooke. I am proudly anti-war and anti-racist. I make no apologies for attending a Stop the War protest. That does not mean I support the Iranian regime. I dare you to repeat your libellous statement outside of parliament.

Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum Home secretary announces 30-month protection limit, with refugees required to leave if their home countries are later judged safe

Absolutely shameful

"Refugee status to be temporary as Shabana Mahmood rips up rules on UK asylum" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Shabana Mahmood to limit refugees to 30 months in UK Shorter asylum period can be renewed under hardline policy aimed at stopping rise of Reform UK

Utterly cruel, pointless and harmful. It does not minimise how bad Conservatives were to say Labour are now the most anti-asylum government in most people's living memory. This prevents people feeling any sense of safety and security after fleeing persecution.

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

Zack Polanski overheard speaking loudly on his phone on a train saying there's shit loads of new green party members.

And the Greens are going to win elections right across England and Wales in May.

Poor Labour. If only Reform hadn't split their vote.

YES HANNAH! Hope is here 💚

GREEN VS REFORM VOTE GREEN! Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Today is the day.

Hope vs hate.

Green vs Reform.

Vote Green in Gorton & Denton.

The govt. needs to AT LEAST delay the settlement changes. Not just from moral pov but from a strategic one. They know Starmer isn't going to last. Implementing before the locals means there can be no row back or change in direction for the next leader. It's unbelievably stupid to let this happen.

Badly done, BBC.
You’re losing all respect.

Reform could gain another MP this Thursday. That's why we're urging Labour, Lib Dem, & other party supporters to lend their vote to the Greens this time in Gorton & Denton. We've carried out extensive research and it points to this being our best chance of stopping a very real threat from Reform.

Anti-fascists frustrate Britain First in Manchester | Searchlight One of several attempts to block off the Britain First march in Manchester A day of resistance, a day of solidarity, a difficult day for the rump of Britain ...

Britain First's latest attempt to march through Manchester city centre was harried and frustrated by anti-fascists and had to be diverted twice by police, denying them their planned rallying place.

Starmer needs to commission an independent inquiry into Labour Together- or he too becomes implicated in an increasingly unsustainable cover-up

Matthew Goodwin's thing on giving women incentives to have more children - does it apply to migrant women/women of colour or just white british women? Pls can a journo ask him.

One on left is a black dog and above it the words “Reality”. Below it is “I chased a squirrel” One the right is a black dog and above it says “LinkedIn”. Below it says, Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions. Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders. This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement. Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job

“There is a sense that the woman shouldn’t get above herself, but if you try and squash somebody like Medea who isn’t small into a small space that is not necessarily going to help you out. I felt Medea’s rage as she tries to fit round Jason’s ego, but she can’t. He knows he is not her equal.”

Hannah is just brilliant. She's funny, smart, VERY hard working, knows how to get her point across, and doesn't take no for any answer. What else could you want? 💚

To those saying, "but the Greens will split the vote":
1. Things have changed.
2. It's not the Green's fault that Starmer has the Merdas Touch (turns everything to shit)
3. When the Greens offer the only inspiring option, perhaps we should see the Labour candidate as splitting the vote.

A "Why are you always so tired?" meme. A stick-figure girl with a pink bow sits in bed surrounded by "protest prep" chaos. Elements include a glass of wine, a laptop with search tabs like "best outfit for protest march," posters for the "March Together" event, markers, glue, a cat jumping on the bed, and a clock showing 2:00 AM. A window in the corner is captioned "FOXES", implying loud nighttime noises.
