Trying to work out why the country inexplicably chose to make itself poorer and hand the levers of power to a thieving bunch of incompetents. 70s prog rock is the best music. Trying to find the people that I used to follow in the other place 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎹

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Sky wants to take over ITV. It could mean 86% of the UK's news run by either the BBC or Sky & spell disaster for UK media. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is thinking about intervening - tell her to stick to her guns & stop this deal. Sign the petition now: 38d.gs/xvqd

This mindset is the least we deserve from a leader. Of course it has to be turned into action. But this kind of ambition and love for the country, this kind of personal but positive vision is what takes people with you. How feeble-minded Farage and Badenoch seem. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Palantir have just bought themselves a Labour Lord with close links to the Labour government. No other word to describe this other than corruption. How can Watson remain a member of the House of Lords and keep the Labour whip?

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know these thugs do not speak for the rest of us. Add your name? 38d.gs/jpcf

"We've done nothing wrong but the people who did it have been sacked for (not) doing it," is quite the defence. And is it just me or Does. Farage. Get. Even. More. Comically. Staccato when he's straining his own enormous capacity for lying?

2 years ago, at Badenoch's first conference as leader, I was invited to attend and sell my book Tories: The End of an Error. The invitation was withdrawn and I was banned when they found out I wrote for Byline Times. Just saying www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

🚨 Naomi Smith, Best for Britain CEO: 👏 “Renewed UK membership of the EU – which is wholeheartedly backed by a majority of voters, would see at least a £92bn boost to GDP that delivers growth in every postcode, shields consumers from the impact of tariffs and denies Putin the chaos he yearns for”

The public agrees with the Prime Minister that Brexit was a wrong turn. The government must put EU membership back on the table.

Andy Burnham has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to truly change British politics for the better. The current voting system creates democratic deficits that lead directly to disillusion in politics up and down the country. We need a National Commission on Electoral Reform.

Make Votes Matter@makevotesmatter.bsky.social

💥 New polling by @yougov.co.uk shows that 53% of MPs support a review of Westminster's voting system - a National Commission on Electoral Reform. First Past the Post is long past its sell-by date. The country is ready for change - it's time for PR 💪

“Burnham, a longtime advocate of electoral reform, will be asked to support the new commission into ditching First Past the Post in his first 100 days as Prime Minister. MPs have said the National Commission on Electoral Reform must report before the next election” #Labour4PR🌹

Andy Burnham: kick the controversial US tech giant Palantir out of our NHS and police! 🚨 Their £330m contract is a total bust: the tech is rubbish, staff are boycotting it, yet they still have access to our private health data.

🚨The UK-US pharma deal with Trump will cost 229,000 lives in England. The deal is so bad that the editor of the British Medical Journal says it suggests "We’ll kill our poor people to make your rich companies richer”. Dear Andy Burnham, tear up this deal as Prime Minister. Thank you.
