Shabana Mahmood to sacrifice ‘bourgeois support’ over migrants The home secretary will copy Denmark’s Social Democrats to seize the immigration narrative from Reform UK and appeal to working-class voters

“The home secretary will warn Labour MPs that the party will lose the next election unless they speed ahead with her hardline immigration reforms”

Heaven help us

Dear Lucy On the eve of the by-election, your Labour party spokesperson has admitted to the Huffington Post that a Labour party leaflet has been delivered through doors with your imprint recommending a vote for Labour by a tactical voting organisation which does not exist. This is deeply troubling, it is actually lying to voters. Did you approve this? Do you feel the Labour Party in government should be held to different standards in terms of honesty to the British public? In your last letter to me you mentioned your ‘very extensive data’ and ‘having spoken to over a third of eligible voters’ which led you to an understanding that the by election ‘was a contest between labour and Reform’. Clearly this latest development only tells voters one thing - you will employ any type of political deception (or in Urdu “Dhoka” ) to win. You will be very aware that all three real tactical voting organisations are recommending a vote for the Greens as the best way to stop Reform. Lying to the voters, as you have been caught doing, raises the real prospect that Reform will be the beneficiaries, something you have said that you don’t want. As this is such an important issue, for the sake of your own reputation, I would strongly urge you to apologise to the voters of Denton and Gorton before the polls open in the morning.” Kind regards, Zack Polanski Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform?

I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

Appaling. And desparate.

I've just told my publishers to remove the Daily Mail quote they were going to put on the cover of the paperback of my latest novel. I don't care if the Daily Mail gave it a good review. The name of that shitrag is not going on the cover of my book.

Very pleased to announce that from today we have extended our DAB coverage to cover Harlow, Epping and west Hertfordshire - our terrestrial DAB/FM signals now covering over 3.5m people!

“I’ve said it time & time again - we need to leave the ECHR” says Reform candidate Matt Goodwin

The ECHR protects us all. The rights within it – firmly implanted into UK law by the Human Rights Act – are the reason why families devastated by disasters like Hillsborough could demand justice

The UK was declared measles free in 2017.

Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.

Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

This brave woman speaks for millions of British people.

Meanwhile these thugs behave in an entirely menacing manner and nothing is done.

"He became a tax resident of Monaco to save £4 billion that could have gone towards British schools, the British NHS, towards British defence, instead he decided he wanted that money for his own pocket"

Chuffed to be the most popular leader with young people!

Thanks, guys! 💚

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

This is absolutely hilarious from #PMQs today.

Ayoub Khan MP says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him

"It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham"

Statement: As you know, from my media contributions, I've never been one to shy away from a free and fair debate, However, I have serious concerns about the impartiality of the hustings that have been organised for tonight. Previous statements by the organising group give the clear impression that a fair and level platform will not be provided for all candidates, so on that basis I will not be attending. I look forward to future opportunities to discuss the issues that matter most to those in the local area and answer questions from local residents in a genuinely neutral setting - including at the forthcoming Manchester Evening News hustings and the BBC's by-election debate on Monday. I cannot wait for these debates. Tonight, I shall be canvassing local people as I have been doing three times a day every day since this campaign began. I am very much looking forward to the forthcoming debates! Vote Reform, Get Starmer Out. Matt 4:53 PM . Feb 10, 2026 . 10.9K Views

Everyone apart from reform

Reform by-election candidate Matt Goodwin, who has spent years talking about free speech and all that crap chickened out of a hustings today.

As you can see - ALL the other candidates turned up

Given Wes Streeting's links with Mandelson and Palantir, both stronger than Starmer's, the question MPs ought really to be asking themselves is, if we replace Starmer with Streeting are we hopping out of the frying pan and into the fire?

Keir Starmer’s director of communications Tim Allan steps down Exclusive: Decision follows departure of chief of staff Morgan McSweeney over Peter Mandelson scandal

Tim Allen was on the Board of the Sex Matters hate group before becoming Number 10 Comms Director. Hopefully Labour is realizing that it has no future in pitch-rolling for Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good morning! Here's what you can hear today on Phoenix FM ...

Can you imagine if either of these insane renovation plans get voted in? Politicians will NEVER be trusted by the public again.

Here's a much better solution than spending at least £11 billion on refurbishing the Houses of Parliament, taken from the appendix to my book Slaying Brexit Unicorns...

👏👏👏👏👏

Left: Zia Yusuf, "Mandelson deserves to be in jail. The buck stops with the executive, Keir Starmer is a disgrace to his office and should resign"

Right: Nathan Gill is in jail for accepting Russian bribes. Using Zia Yusuf's logic, isn't Nigel Farage also a disgrace, and should also resign?

The Mandelson scandal has shone a light on systemic issues in the British State.

This is about wealth, power, and undue access - not just a few bad apples.

I wouldn't take it personally @zackpolanski.bsky.social

He doesn't even show up for his own constituents!

Nigel Farage once vehemently believed that defections should trigger by-elections…

I challenged Reform’s Andrea Jenkyns on his now opposite stance

And this was the state of her response…

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...
