He. Can’t. Win. But I’m so glad it’s him and not Polanski, Davey, Badenoch or F@rage on the driving seat.

‘Dirty Business’: is this the whole story? Channel 4’s new series about sewage in our rivers and beaches will rightly make people angry. But it fails to recognise that things have changed already.

Many have watched Dirty Business. But did it tell you the full story: short answer is 'no'.

This piece is worth a ready to find out why it was, at the end, misleading you omitting the full truth.

Well said. You can say all sorts of lovely hopeful things when the weight of steering the U.K. economy through troubled global waters, and safeguarding millions of jobs (which are at risk due to the whims and insane actions of a mad 🇺🇸 president), aren’t on your shoulders.

This is exactly the sort of content O want to see on here 😂 Bravo 👏

Labour launch £126m scheme to support kinship carers.

Currently they do not receive consistent financial support, unlike foster carers & adoptive families.

The pilot scheme will support thousands of grandparents, aunts, uncles & other family members who step in to look after relative's children.

Feels a bit like a one-off though.

Suggestions he should step down are simply nonsense. However…Labour now needs to be bigger and bolder on its plan for change, prioritising rejoining the EU and sorting out the student loans mess. Both legacies from the god-awful Tories.

Prime Ministers and party leaders don’t resign mid-term over a single by-election result. George Galloway won a by-election once 😂. However, this results must push Labour to be more radical on reversing Brexit and sorting out the student loans disaster.

Given the current state of right wing politics, this wouldn’t surprise me 😂😂😂

Labour guarantee the Post Office network is protected for the future, as they published their response to the green paper consulations on the future of the Post Office.

They committed to keeping the minimum required branches at the current 11,500 - so no further reductions - alongside...

Reform's Plans to Import Trump’s Authoritarian 'Project 2025' Blueprint to the UK Far from defending British independence, Reform and its by-election candidate Matt Goodwin are taking blueprints - and cash - from a global network of American hardliners

EXCLUSIVE: Reform's Matt Goodwin is "friends" with the architect of Trump's authoritarian Project 2025, Kevin Roberts, and told him he wanted to import the project into Britain - including channeling JD Vance's politics (the man who loves fascist Curtis Yarvin) bylinetimes.com/2026/02/25/r...

Serious questions for The Green Party to answer here.

Shocked, I tell you. Shocked. 😏

A letter from Lucy Powell to Zack Polanski asking him to be honest and that only Labour can beat Reform

This by-election is bigger than day to day politics. It’s about stopping Reform’s toxic politics coming to my city. The Greens misleading claims, dodgy bar charts & briefings risk letting them in the back door. Only voting Labour can stop Reform. My letter to Green Leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👇🏻

Well said. I agree 💯

The usual suspects indeed 🙄 Apsana Begum was invited onto C4 News earlier to do a Starmer hatchet job. More critical of the government than HMO!!

No.

Sally James’ almost legendary pop interviews! Classic TV ❤️

Oh come on!! What about Boris and track record? Or Farage’s dodgy as f*ck funding? Some perspective please.

Left: Reform UK's Matt Goodwin tells #C4News that Labour are squabbling and not representing the people they are elected to serve

Right: Matt Goodwin insults British Pakistanis, who are 19% of Gorton and Denton, saying, "legal migration is undermining the foundations of this country"

Funny that wasn’t pointed out by the OP.

Zack Polanski the Greens are sharing misinformatioin about the Gorton and Denton by-election, and ought to be ashamed of themselves.

The chart he has shared on Threads suggests only thee Greens can beat Reform. But it's using vote change data.

Applying the changes they claim in the chart to the actual data shows the following as the resultant vote shares - with Labour ahead of Reform.

The source he quotes as this being from even has Labour winning the seat!|

Disingenuous and shameful nonsense from the Greens.
