“When you talk, you should always be kind and pleasant so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should.” Colossians 4:6

The Tories have a nerve talking about Labour losing control of the economy Liz Truss aside, the Tories are the ones that bow to "the markets", whoever they are. They are the ones, just like Reform, who love trickle down economics The markets & trickle-down RELY on lack of control and deregulation

Well done Alberta! Common sense prevails!

“Escalating Russian aggression & an unpredictable Trump mean Burnham should aim to #RejoinEU…necessary to protect the UK’s prosperity, security & democracy & the PM should work to build a national consensus in favour of re-entry” www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

George Monbiot is right: the best option is to rejoin the EU. And the reality is that the process doesn't have to take long. Experts have confirmed that the UK could rejoin within a single Parliament.

Petition: Ban supermarkets from throwing away food and drink that is safe to consume We want the Government to introduce legislation requiring supermarkets to prevent edible food & drink from being discarded as waste. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/78...

George Osborne is chairman of the board at the British Museum because of his imperialist mindset The law needs changing.The British Museum has a false richness. It should only contain artefacts from these shores. Τα Γλυπτά του Παρθενώνα belong in Athens, period www.ekathimerini.com/culture/1318...

“Britain will benefit from much closer trading relations with the EU even if that means giving up its ability to negotiate free trade agreements” Obvs! They’ve not come anywhere near replacing what we lost & several we’d have got later as members on better terms. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social please do not give go-ahead for Jackdaw/Rosebank. We have decades of missed opportunity behind us to tackle the climate crisis AND deliver new jobs with retraining. We must show leadership & refuse the lobbyists who have held power over our present & future for too long

How big is the British market compared to the EU's Single Market #EUBasics 🇪🇺

Democracy is not a singular point in time never to be repeated - that’s totalitarianism. “The British electorate are now overwhelmingly pro-remain. And yet the europhobes [ReFUK today] still argue the votes of the dead count for more than the views of the young.” #RejoinEU archive.ph/2025.12.09-1...

Story on Sky News's politics feed re the money politicians of all stripes made through speaking engagements in Conference season makes me sick. If you want a prime e.g of how capitalism fails the 99%, look no further Rishi Sunak worked 11 hours and made £300,000 I often work 11 hours and make £200

Andy Burnham is trying to get us back in the EU, no doubt about that. Every single (normal) person in this country should get behind him.

This is a great article from Canada. The lesson here is we have it in us to build community, extend friendship and show each other grace. No matter the power of a minority of wealthy men, we ultimately know what is good for us. Make the right choice, folks. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This why we should not have another referendum. Rejoining the EU needs to be in Labour's next manifesto. A simple vote for Labour is a vote to rejoin. I am very excited for the next UK-EU summit. Business, farmers, fisherman are all saying what a disaster Brexit has been. The rest of us feel it.

yougov.com/en-gb/articl... Here is the polling on the EU that Andy Burnham seems to reference. It is as clear as day.

If you have a Tory MP why not send them this article and ask why they constantly talk down our national economy, misleading us in the process? The lowest deficit in the G7, the highest growth AND an end to austerity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“The report was due for publication this week but was blocked by Johnson, due to reported fears that the information would damage his chances of winning the upcoming UK general election.” www.businessinsider.com/boris-johnso...

A message to the good people of Alberta, Canada: It is so clear the mistakes of Brexit are being repeated again. And now the British public know there was foreign interference in the referendum in the UK. Our enemies will stop at nothing to divide us. Please bear this in mind when you vote.

How about this for facts. If Trump increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the US now hates their historic friend Canada and wants to buy from historic foe Russia’s Putin instead? Oh and the Canadians don’t offer bribes either?

The latest short video of Andy Burnham on getting a social care system that works for all who need it I don't know how anyone can do the job of PM in these times. There are too hot potatoes that need dealing with and only so much money Again, please share far and wide. youtube.com/shorts/_IMeS...

Billionaire David Reuben claiming he quit Britain for Monaco over potential wealth taxes—when records show he already moved years ago—exposes the myth of the "super-rich exodus." Threats to flee are just economic blackmail to block fair taxation.

What a result for Labour in Holborn & St Pancras!! This was a mid term election and @sagal-a.bsky.social smashed it - huge congrats!! She embodies all that the Labour Party stand for: aspiration, opportunity, community, and public service. Holborn and St Pancras know a servant when they see one.

There's more whitewash in this report than at your local B&Q. Nothing in it exonerates Reform UK or Nigel Farage. They're not above the rules. The sleaze, scandal & police investigations aren’t going away. It’s time to stop the cover ups and come clean to the public. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

British public opinion moves relentlessly in favour of rejoining the EU. Brexit has failed Britain.

Kemi Badenoch says the Conservatives are the party of home ownership. So why then did they do nothing about the market in 14 long years? Is it because they believe the market rules? The truth is the market has failed the 99% on so many levels, including on housing. They are a joke. And a bad one.

Badenoch talking about living within our means again. That means austerity folks for the sake of a broken ideology created by wealthy people decades ago. And what about her role in previous Con governments trashing this country and its reputation? No humility and not a leader.

🔴 Two in five voters open to voting Labour at general election, poll reveals 📊 Polling, conducted by The Messina Group, found that Labour had the highest ceiling of support among voters, with 43 percent either considering or planning to vote for the party labourlist.org/2026/10/labo...

Andy Burnham never once mentioned our opponents in his speech. That was wise. He only spoke of HIS vision for the country. The Tories have nothing to offer. Only rhetoric. Which is why Badenoch is having a supposed joke about Keir Starmer. He achieved a lot in 2 years. She helped trash this country

A must watch & a must share. Neoliberalism, 2008, Brexit, & COVID have ensured that too many communities have fallen behind. One is one too many. This video tells our story. There is plenty of hope though. And Labour in gov isn't just providing a new vision. It's acting. youtu.be/InmOUg5A_Xc?...

“This doesn’t feel like a high-octane meeting of a party preparing for government. More like a home counties meeting of the Rotary Club. On current evidence, if there is a general election next year…then the Tories won’t be active participants”. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...?

youtube.com/shorts/8F3Zr... Andy Burnham has made a fantastic short video on his proposals to the triple lock to fund a National Care Service. Please share far and wide. The media must not win.

Greens - failing Lib Dems - divided Reform - corrupt Tories - regressive Labour - winning

Kemi Badenoch lives in a fantasy world of denial where ... 🔹️The water is clean. 🔹️Brexit is a success. 🔹️Trickle-down works. 🔹️Austerity delivers growth. 🔹️The Tories are still relevant. 🔹️... and Kemi Badenoch is as intelligent and popular as she thinks she is. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Every problem Britain faces today, started with Thatcher Many Prime Ministers have carried on her work like Cameron, May, Johnson & Truss Thatcher sold off all of Britain's assets & privatised everything, destroying Britain Now we have Badenoch who looks up to Thatcher as her idol & role model

Badenoch wants to cut NI for young people but keep the triple lock for pensioners. Now tell me which demographic gains the most from Tory dogma....again. We need a political party that is for all generations. Thankfully the Labour Party is it.

Hello Bluesky! I am back! After a few months away, the long and short of it is I've reflected a lot, and I am either with our movement or against it. I was never against it, so therefore I am with it. Always. After a toxic summer, I am supporting Andy Burnham. There is no other way. 🌹

This Parliament is forecast to be better for living standards than the last. Unfortunately for Andy Burnham, most of the forecast growth will have already taken place by the time he's expected to take office. What other challenges face the new PM? Find out ⤵️ buff.ly/vTEZMib

No food standard can correct or justify the absurd cruelty of all factory farming and the Organic badge is falsely applied to the factory farming of Salmon - it’s rife with chemicals. www.greenbritainfoundation.co.uk/updates/orga...

More than a million of you watched our films and now know what "organic" salmon farming looks like. The Soil Association felt the need to respond -  twice in a week.

Keir Starmer, 'I didn’t enter politics to be Prime Minister'. But Andy Burnham did. He's just proved he did by ambushing Keir Starmer in such an appalling manner. A debacle so distasteful that some of us no longer feel we can support Labour.

labour.org.uk/two-years-of... 2 years of amazing progressive policies under Keir's leadership, a world away from 14 years of decline and austerity, and Labour MPs have tossed him aside like he was worth nothing to them. Click the link to learn. I can't help but agree with Jane's post below.

🚨 Labour won the 2024 general election two years ago today

Starmer warns Burnham will have to spend time on global affairs, in first interview since quitting www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We don't need "placating" @pippacrerar.bsky.social . We want him to talk us through why shafting a sitting PM 2 years into a 5 year term actually helps the country. Can you interview him and get him to be specific?

A new petition we all need to sign. Labour MPs should not go unaccountable. They need to justify to members and the voting public why they jumped right into the media's agenda. This isn't democracy. It is a coup.
