The Labour Party now has a chance to turn a corner. But we must be clear: this is our final chance. Mainstream's Interim Council on this morning's announcement 👇

A contest for Labour leader? I don't think so. Not so much legitimacy to be had from 400 MPs & some thousands of party members. But Burnham shouldn't think that just being in office makes you legitimate ruler. It just gives you a platform from which you can - maybe - win support for a programme (1/)

Makerfield is a real victory for progressives. But this moment is bigger than one person or one party. Defeating Reform and the causes of Reform requires all of us, working together. The progressive majority must now be activated. Read our full statement below.

Compass Statement on Makerfield By-election - Compass

Today we feel that rare emotion for progressives: the lure of hope. This is an exciting, tantalising, and daunting moment; […]

Andy Burnham's victory in Makerfield is a victory for mainstream Labour values. The people of Makerfield chose hope, unity and a radical change of direction. Labour must hear and heed the lessons of this by-election to defeat Reform and transform the country.

OUT NOW! We sat down with economist @meadwaj.bsky.social to discuss how progressives can be trusted on the economy and how we re-commit to environmentalism is this fragmented age. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!

Mainstream’s Chair and one of our brilliant NEC candidates, Kerry Postlewhite, at the campaign centre in Makerfield today! 🌹 Join us there for the final week of the campaign: mainstreamlabour.org/latest/events And nominate the Mainstream team for NEC and NPF: mainstreamlabour.org/2026-nec-and-n…

Keir Starmer’s time as Prime Minister will be remembered for indecision and an unwillingness to commit to the difficult decisions. You can’t please everyone in Government, yet Starmer has uniquely managed to please no one. Compass on John Healey's resignation as Defence Secretary👇

The Makerfield by-election will have seismic ramifications for the entirety of British politics. Come join us at 6pm next Friday to dissect it all - with @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social's Kerry Postlewhite, @cmmonwealth.bsky.social's Mat Lawrence, @avasantina.bsky.social and @anouschka-r.bsky.social!

Labour can be the party that drives real change again - but only if we set out a better path. This year’s NEC & NPF elections are an opportunity we can’t afford to miss. Nominate the Mainstream team at your next CLP meeting. Deadline is 26 June.🌹

The govt should treat the right wing press as it would treat (say) Stormfront - not as a legitimate news outlet, but as propaganda for a socially corrosive disorder, and withdraw all cooperation from it. It doesn't need the votes of that tiny minority that reads such rags.
