Nigel Farage isn’t even an MP at the moment and neither is Zia Yusuf, yet he called a press conference and the tabloids danced to unelected Reform bureaucrats’ tune once again. Laughable.

BBC #Newsnight interviews Reform AGAIN. Relentless platforming of a Party with only 6 MPs. The BBC have lost the plot again.

Labour should have a female leader eventually, and I was all for it being Angela Rayner. Unfortunately, the tax issue may hinder her in future leadership bids, despite it being a non-story.

"Why always Reform?" "They're frightened of us!" The investigation into Richard Tice is a 'witch-hunt', Lee Anderson tells Nick Ferrari.

Isn’t it funny how now that Andy Burnham is taking back the narrative small boats are back in the media because Reform want to talk about them again…

Anyone else remember all of last year when James O’Brien called Andy Burnham a loser, saying he “conducts himself poorly”. I can cite 3 examples. When kier Starmer resigned, during Labour Party conference 2025, and when he used to consistently refer to his previous leadership bids. Idiot

LBC@lbc.co.uk · last wk.

‘It seems to me… he means it.’ @mrjamesob.bsky.social 'can’t believe that he believes' Andy Burnham is sincere in wanting the country to be a better place.

Do we all remember Labour Party conference, when James O’Brien slagged Burnham off rotten? Do we all remember the Mandleson scandal when he said Burnham was a loser? Or even when Starmer resigned and he put the boot in then? James O’Brien’s liberal ‘reverse ferret’ is hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂 @lbc.co.uk

He wants “growth for every postcode” actually, meaning nobody is left behind. Can 1 person explain to me how an economically neoliberal EU has delivered for former pit villages or post-industrial towns in the UK? If we were to rejoin, it should be under conditions of changing the economic model.

Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org · 2w ago

Andy Burnham wants growth for every region. There's an obvious lever to pull to achieve it. That delivers a £92 billion economic boost. Distributed across the UK. And especially to manufacturing-intensive areas in the Midlands & North. The answer to his domestic policy agenda? EU membership.

Why are people trying to add a populist tinge to Andy Burnham when that’s the opposite of who he is.

Nigel Farage isn’t a man of the people. Andy Burnham is a man of the people.

New books to be read! @gabrielzucman.bsky.social @sarahsteinlubrano.bsky.social @liambyrnemp.bsky.social

“We can cope. We can keep him safe”. He has already attacked a prison officer with boiling water? Broadmoor is best suited for volatile individuals like him that pose threat in prisons, as it has houses the criminally insane for over a century, including murderers Peter Sutcliffe & Ronnie Kray

'He's played the system...get him back in prison!' Prison Officers Association Chairman Mark Fairhurst condemns the Southport killer being moved to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.

Quick reminder: Reform UK are still leading in the polls despite the ‘Burnham Bounce’ and Five-Mil Farage’s ongoing scandals! It clearly isn’t all comms. STRUCTURAL CHANGE NOW Bring back meritocracy rather than bring back ‘hope’ I.e better vibes.

@lbc.co.uk Nick Ferrari will find a way to moan about anything a Labour government does 😂😂😂😂 He’s moaning about the VAT cut for pubs clubs and music venues despite numerous shows talking about relief for pubs. Partisan politics at its most pathetic!

A UN expert panel said they were fixed btw. The European Union had also planned to send a full election observation mission but was disinvited by the Maduro government before the vote took place

BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social · 2w ago

Venezuela's President is being held hostage, CIA documents reveal that they knew the Elections in Venezuela weren't fixed, but they spread the lie anyway. This is what the USA does, it lies about terrorism, it lies about election fraud. So it can install dictatorships.

Absolutely awful news. As abhorrent as her views were, absolutely nobody deserves to die like this and the person who committed the crime should never see daylight again. I hope people can find it in them to show the grace and compassion she never managed for the working class or gay people.

🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham has sacked Rachel Reeves as Chancellor

Andy Burnham’s first act of government is to declare an end to rough sleeping in Britain. You surely can’t ask for a better start than that?

This all looks very much like the path of French Prime Ministers. The reason boring centrist politicians are failing so badly is because they are subscribed to the household budget school of economics and then say theyre unable to help. What’s the point of that?

Richard M.@mat70x.bsky.social · 2w ago

"By lunchtime today, the UK will have its fifth prime minister in four years" I reckon there's absolutely no self awareness involved in Chriss Mason or ay other British "journalist" with regards to this... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Overall carbon emissions have increased" in the UK, because of Net Zero, Kemi Badenoch repeatedly tells the BBC, to no pushback. Just completely untrue

"First time delivering a child?" "No, I once drove Wes Streeting into work"

It is essential Burnham picks the right chancellor because Manchesterism alone is not a fundamental economic strategy 👇 www.jacobbarclayevans.com/manchesteris...

"Manchesterism" is a mere springboard towards a national economic doctrine

Andy Burnham's Manchesterism offers a compelling vision of devolution and regional renewal, but can it carry him through his premiership alone?
