A reminder that Reform's candidate for Gorton and Denton, Matt Goodwin, has still not explained what he meant by this claim that developments in genetic science will make younger generations more right wing as they understand the "inherent differences" between different groups

Sir Keir Starmer and his pragmatic leadership is exactly what we need right now and is in the best interests of the UK.

In a statement in the Commons just now, he has laid out just how he was able to raise many areas of disagreement with China on his recent visit.

Fair point but then there wouldn't be enough hours in the week to report it all & the confirmed Starmer/ Labour bashers wouldn't listen anyway 🤷
Always grateful to Warren Oates @warrenoates1.bsky.social and LaindonFeminist @viviane49.bsky.social for doing such an amazing job of keeping up with it 👌

You can’t just ‘dismantle NATO, from within’??

These NATO countries and their personnel have worked together for decades.

Polanski is an amateur.

Truly the classic far right campaign - “vote for me because you hate the other guy. Neither you nor I care what my party policies are”

Happy Sunday evening!

I've not put together a Substack article listing all what Labour have done this week - even though there has been as much as ever.

Instead, I've spent a few hours looking over the mainfesto and linking up the promises with what is actually being done.

Huh? Freedom to get skewered with bad trade deals. Not even any pretence at reporting news.

Gorton and Denton by-election: Angeliki Stogia selected for Labour The councillor was chosen after Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham was blocked from standing.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Excellent choice by Labour .. local councillor, female .. absolutely up for this fight ! 💪🌹

I’m probably a bit late to the party had a long lazy lunch and just catching up. But Angeliki sounds like the perfect Labour candidate for Gorton & Denton. I’ve donated to her campaign as that’s the best I can do from Essex. But best of luck!!!

If this 👇doesn't scare the feckin bejayzus out of you... you're not paying attention!! Unless, of course, your only consumption of 'news' is the gammon bollix variety provided by Geebeebies. If this is your go-to source... then gawd help you 🫣

If anyone is comparing this to Burnham’s power move it’s because they’re terrified. This woman has been working for Manchester for 14 years. The reason we haven’t heard from her is because she’s been working for Manchester, not herself. Lots of local experience. Exactly what’s needed.

Keir Starmer’s Labour Government Is Much Better Than the Media Admits There is a deep disconnect between the Government's actions to improve the country and its standing in the polls, argues Professor Chris Painter

Morning all.
The only reason I can see for anyone choosing to vote Reform is either innate or media provoked prejudice. They offer nothing other than a sinister obsession with deporting immigrants, plus a band of self serving, corrupt & totally mendacious MPs in office. We've been there before.

It’s understandably easy to be frustrated with HM Government but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Good piece in @bylinetimes.bsky.social by Prof Chris Painter… bylinetimes.com/2026/01/29/k...

Define 'Brutal Treatment'

It hasn't destroyed any illusions about Clive Lewis or Andy Burnham. It's compounded our worst fears about them.

That's what you get if you remain on 'X'

I understand how strongly people feel about assisted dying. But I do think it’s really sad that respectful disagreement seems to have broken down. Esther Rantzen is terminally ill and very unwell at the moment.

Is there anything we are still able to debate kindly?

The Labour 2024 manifesto, the only one which matters did not commit to compensating Waspi women, the 2019 manifesto did but that's doubly irrelevant as it's not the current manifesto and Labour lost in 2019. The media and others can stfu about u-turns and stop using Waspi women as weapons.

Best review ever on the Melania film.

“Even if it was shown on a plane, people would still walk out"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They’re arresting journalists now in the US.
Straight from the Putin playbook.

UN risks 'imminent financial collapse', secretary general warns
Good God!

Incarcerated for journalism. And for sticking it to various frauds & grifters who profess to care about ‘free speech’.

Weren’t they supposed to celebrate?

Excellent Luke ! Please get more Labour MPs to include their own clips of debate in Commons .. so much good factual information is said clearly and concisely yet most of the U.K. won’t be watching.. but they do look at bite size social media .. it’s a win .. especially in a RW soaked media

He really is just straight-up the biggest piece of shit alive

I've just been reading a substack article posted by the Lead about the Government's Warm Home bill, one of the biggest changes to how our homes are heated. This was largely missed by the media (and the Greens) as the writer put it 'slipped under the radar of the media' like all positive policies.
