There is almost no difference between the UK and French positions on Iran. But Macron's approach has been broadly accepted by French media and the opposition - except for the extreme left. The parallel with the UK is interesting.

Vote Labour

Do you ever get bored of your nonsense?

Daily Mail Twitter post: Flying a Union Jack Flag is branded a ‘tool of hate’ in government's leaked social cohesion strategy. Multiple Union Jack and St George’s Cross flags are displayed prominently along a road, amidst greenery and a building in the background.

“A leaked draft of the proposals suggests national symbols were sometimes used last summer to 'exclude or intimidate'.

It warned that the: 'EXTREME RIGHT HAS TRIED TO TURN SYMBOLS OF PRIDE INTO TOOLS OF HATE'”

Okay…

This is the Daily Mail Headline 👇🏼🙄😖

Cruelty to immigrants is not what my party stands for. It’s time for True Labour, not Blue Labour | Stella Creasy We must get back to the party’s roots before it is too late. That means embracing difference, rejecting division – and fighting for opportunities for all, says MP for Walthamstow, Stella Creasy

NYC mayor not banned from UK – Full Fact A series of videos shared on social media falsely claim that Zohran Mamdani said the UK has “lost its moral compass”, prompting Keir Starmer to ban him from the UK.

Videos shared online falsely claim Keir Starmer banned New York mayor Zohran Mamdani from the UK, after Mr Mamdani supposedly said the UK had “lost its moral compass” at an event they both attended.

But no such event happened, and he hasn’t been banned.

Somebodies going to be getting their P45 very soon

Let me guess, wealthy people who moved to Dubai to avoid paying taxes now want the countries they moved from to protect them?

Full on Corbynista fury in the responses to this. The far-left's occupation of the Greens is yet another reason why the party won't replace Labour - but will hurt it enough to let in the far-right.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social why has your Urdu election advert got pictures of Keir shaking hands with the Indian PM?

Doesn't feel relevant to Gorton and Denton.

I can hear the dog whistle.

This Green use of Starmer-Modi resembles a leaflet that Labour put out in Batley in 2021 about Boris Johnson + Modi. The party was heavily criticised for that. I think the lesson is not to pitch to voters from one background with messages you can't show + defend to voters of every background.

Thank you for your condescending advice.

PM words on Gaza: 29 July 2025 www.gov.uk/government/s...

I honestly think I live in a constant state of disappointment when it comes to our politics.

Yes I know there are no easy solutions but our democracy needs a healthy dose of realism & honesty, not the glib, short sighted solutions politicians of all parties offer us.

Hey ho.

I think I just live in a constant state of disappointment

I think they can regain your trust with a mixture of honesty & a commitment to a better politics. i don’t think there are any easy answers to what ails our politics though. But I’d like to see Labour admit they’ve got things wrong and a commitment to try better

Yet again it’s the curse of social media

'As metro mayors gain power, Labour must tighten political accountability' - LabourList As a priority, Labour’s NEC should initiate discussions leading to a set of rules ensuring the political accountability of metro mayors.

I actually really, strongly, disagree with this.

Elected representatives' first responsibility is to those they represent, their electors. It is not to a small, fee-paying group of supporters. Nor should it be.

It's the fundimental issue with the classic CLPD approach; it's corruption

Politicians talk about a better politics but rarely follow their own advice.

People get easily angered - I think it’s important to hold all parties to the same standard - Labour have been a disappointment but I can also say that the rhetoric coming out of the Greens has also been disappointing.

Has anyone reported Malcom Bulner to the police?

Reform UK Deputy Leader of Lancashire Councillor Simon Evans has reposted a Facebook post saying Natalie Fleet MP should be shot.

The post also has a fake quote designed to stir anger.

What is more disgusting is that she was groomed and raped as a teenager.

Simon Evans must resign
