Labour minister Josh Simons resigns after falsely linking journalists to β€˜pro-Kremlin’ network Makerfield MP has been under pressure over thinktank’s commissioning of PR firm to investigate reporters

It does make one think what he was playing at

Good riddance

Spencer’s victory speech an object lesson in grace while Reform’s man rages | John Crace Matt Goodwin claimed cheating in Gorton and Denton, Angeliki Stogia fled, Keir was tin-eared and Kemi brought the comedy

Good on her and delivered in a kind and decent way

Contrast that with Reform who are bitter and twisted with huge chips on their rich shoulders

MPs condemn hosting of Tommy Robinson by Trump administration The far-right activist’s trip came amid calls for the US to be included in a probe into foreign interference in UK politics

But that is only 5.5% of the 1 million. There is clearly a problem with youth unemployment and there is a risk of a failed generation. Nor do I think the likes of Reform or Tories will make it any better. There needs to be a Keynesian approach to stimulate the economy

Trump administration meets with UK far-right activist Tommy Robinson Agitator whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was hosted by senior adviser at US state department

Robinson, who has convictions for assault, using a fake passport, mortgage fraud and contempt of court for repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee in breach of an injunction

No doubt when he joins Reform he will become a shadow Justice Secretary

Dirty Business Petition: End Sewage Pollution Watching Dirty Business on Channel 4 and feeling outraged? Sign our petition to demand the government put public health first and end profit from pollution.

Shocking how the Water Industry and the Environment Agency turned a blind eye

Both not fit for purpose

Whether it is the environment, workers rights, health etc

The hard right has high hopes in Gorton and Denton – but a grassroots fightback is under way As ordinary people feel the effects of divisive rhetoric, a local group is taking action to empower the community

Let’s hope the left of centre vote has not been split too much to allow the racists in

Reform will face down any β€˜progressive outrage’ over mass deportations, Yusuf says Reform’s new home affairs spokesperson denied that there would be a repeat of violence seen in Minnesota in the US where two protesters have been killed, but warned β€˜we will not flinch’

They will turn this country into a police state with the checks and balances of democracy gone

Those who support them are racist bigots

Completely deluded.

Matt Goodwin is running: the search for Reform’s elusive byelection candidate Nigel Farage’s man in Gorton and Denton has a huge public platform, and a taste for culture war. What happens when he concerns himself with bin collections?

Nigel Farage is variously described as β€œa chancer”, β€œa smooth talker”, β€œa snake-oil salesman”, β€œfull of shit”.

Probably a fair description although I would add racist, misogynist, autocrat lover and nicotine stained pub bore

Any others?
