Your regular reminder than a large majority of voters - and overwhelming majority of Labour voters - favour giving settled migrants access to the welfare state after five years or less. The Home Secretary is not reforming rules in line with public opinion. She is doing the opposite.
Could have been an outstanding goalkeeper.🐱😺😻

Also deserving of some praise: tactical voting websites. #gortondenton
G&D and Caerphilly painting quite the picture about how the public really feel about Reform - despite much of the media’s desperate attempts to persuade us that a Farage premiership is inevitable come the next GE.
Gorton and Denton by-election result: GRN: 40.7% (+27.5) REF: 28.7% (+14.7) LAB: 25.4% (-25.3) CON: 1.9% (-6.0) LDEM: 1.8% (-2.1) Green GAIN from Labour.
Expect weeks of "family voting" rhetoric from Reform. They're out of the gates on it already.
It mustn't be allowed to wash because look at the scale of that win.
Tactical voting has obviously played a massive part.
Gorton and Denton rejected Reform and its hateful agenda.
Apologies for my woeful Japanese pronunciation and for the baseball cap. I'd love to hear Kazumi Hashimoto's version of Careless Whisper if anyone has it! Tonight The Music Seems So Loud: The Meaning of George Michael, is published around the world this summer. More details: sathnam.com
How much has it snowed in Boston, you ask? Well, enough that our neighbors made a whale out of snow.
Voters in Gorton and Denton can take a FREE personality test today. Simply go into a polling booth and if you find yourself voting for Matt Goodwin, you'll know you're a twat.
I speak as someone regularly ripped off to ensure that Yorkshire Water's complex network of owners all make plenty of undeserved profits and bonuses.
Water is a basic necessity of life. And we pay them to chuck shit in it.
What a marvellous idea privatisation was... 🤮

A vote for Matt Goodwin/Reform in #GortonAndDenton is a vote for racism and misogyny. A vote to shame the constituency, to divide and fail it. It’s a vote that takes no responsibility for its consequences because it hasn’t thought about them and doesn’t care enough to do that.
Don’t be that voter.
Oh wow had forgotten 🌼
We need to go back to a situation where racism is shameful rather than electorally advantageous.

"The people we watch on TV fighting with each other are, behind closed doors, hanging out – it is just a game," says Anand Giridharadas

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to Greenland to take care of the many people who are sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!! President DJT
Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.
Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.
So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.
The video from Nigel Farage gives the impression that he was individually refused access.
Farage is in the Maldives.
200 miles away from the Chagos Islands which are not a
tourist destination.
Hasn't got the paperwork and wasn't on the 'aid boat' he's pointing at which is trying to establish a settlement for four people on the islands.
How is this serving Clacton? Who paid?
Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy?
Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia.
And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.
Exciting research shows potential for a new way to prevent flu infection using a nasal spray! 🧵🧪
I was born and raised in Gorton and Denton, and I absolutely guarantee you Reform won't put it first.
They won't even put Britain first.
They'll put Russia first. We LITERALLY jailed one of them for doing that.
Beautiful 🌺
Great commentary @dalupton.bsky.social and thank you for speaking out about the #Covid19 information vacuum we live through

When I was a medical student 45 years ago, I clerked in a 13 year old girl with deep jaundice and an abdominal mass. She was Hepatitis B positive. That had led to a primary liver tumour. In a 13-year-old. She was dead within the month. Avoidable with vaccination.
