A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings

The polls are lying to us.

10 elections this week.

7 wins LibDems.

1 win Reform by a whisker.

Jenrick casting 1980s British football hooliganism as something that was easily dealt with by police and not an era defining issue which we're still living with the consequences of today... He's genuinely the most unserious person in British politics rn

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

You were great Zack. Just we need in a politician. Strong EQ. Empathy. Compassion. Sense. And clearly an articulate leader. I’ve even considered turning Green for the first time in my life….

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Green Party's Zack Polanski to Reform UK's Zia Yusuf,

"Do you ever think that immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?"

After pointing out that she's an immigrant Joanna Lumley asks why we don't fix the problems that create asylum seekers and address climate change

This is your vote, your choice. You the members choose your Deputy Leader.

Having this conversation is not dissent, but an important conversation about how we can be better.

I will be your strong independent voice.

🚨 New YouGov poll: In a head-to-head, Brits pick Starmer over Farage for PM by 45% to 33%. Despite Reform’s rise in vote shares, far more voters still prefer a Starmer premiership. #ukpolitics

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Right-wing media fluffs Farage for years, to the point where he now leads the polls, and then start whining about Starmer being 'obsessed' when he starts telling some long overdue home truths. It's actually hilarious.

I am not surprised at all Hannah. Best of everything.

"I hope Starmer wakes up tomorrow morning and feels ashamed about what he has done," says man who unveiled this poster the day Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right terrorist.

Hugged a self-described racist jailed for inciting racial hatred at his party conference.
Threatened to ‘don khaki’ in the event of Brexit being frustrated.
Disseminated the racist lies of an alleged rapist & stayed silent as racists responded by setting fire to buildings full of foreigners.

Wow Starmer finally drawing a line!

"If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed-heritage families owe you an explanation... If you say that they should now be deported, then mark my words - we will fight you with everything we have".

@rahilsheikh.bsky.social thank you for tonight’s Panorama. And for shining a balanced light on the asylum issues 🙏

Farage is applying for a job.

That job is Prime Minister.

The only thing on his CV is Brexit.

He campaigned for it for 27 years.

So his only real track record is making everyone poorer & damaging the NHS.

If you hire Nigel & Reform, you must want this company (UK) to fail.

I had the pleasure of working with Mo, back in the day. Simply one of the best. Lovely person who had the rare political ability of being able to relate to everyone.

I wonder what attracted him to a party led by a massive Putin fan…

I just love Channel 4 News. Always have. Always will. The only news programme to dare to ask the hard questions.

Much needed.

Labour must grab the microphone from Reform UK and stand up for true British values | Lucy Powell If elected deputy Labour leader, I would take the fight to Nigel Farage and show him for what he really is, says Labour MP Lucy Powell

My plan to grab the political microphone back. Farage has had it for too long 👇

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Left ignored immigration fears for too long. It’s time to give communities back control Only a plan for patriotic national renewal led by Labour will counter the rise of the populist Right

I really hope the Starmer speech on patriotic renewal is better than this summary of it, which basically argues that New Labour and the Tories let in too many immigrsnts but this one is going to give you a youth club instead so please don’t vote Reform www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f9444c6...

Agreed Hannah. 100%.

Labour must grab the microphone from Reform UK and stand up for true British values | Lucy Powell If elected deputy Labour leader, I would take the fight to Nigel Farage and show him for what he really is, says Labour MP Lucy Powell

This from Lucy Powell is the strongest articulation I've seen yet of the way Labour can take on Farage

No disrespect but to Steph - but the comms coming out of Number 10 is shocking. The biggest open goal for Reform.

To those Labour MPs taking shots at Andy Burnham for even thinking about challenging, ask yourselves why he feels the need. People are fed up. The comms from No.10 are a disaster, and you're handing Reform an open goal. This isn’t about Farage’s charm-it’s about the vacuum of leadership at the top.
