In just six months, Mamdani has already made huge progress on: -Lowering rent -Enacting universal childcare -Taxing the super rich -Improving city buses -Cracking down on junk fees and subscription traps -Protecting gig workers from wage theft This is what delivering for the people looks like.
Given that there is no Green Party candidate for the Clacton by-election, I am officially endorsing @countbinface.bsky.social to become the MP for Clacton. And not just because he isn't Nigel Farage, but because he has excellent policies.
If Starmer got into a heap of trouble for accepting gifts of suits, concert tickets and football tickets then Farage should be absolutely hounded for the millions of pounds he's been gifted from billionaires and millionaires.

No. I think this will be a serious three-way contest, with the Greens and Reform both having a realistic chance. A lot will depend on how much they can throw at the election.

Big watch on Lewisham tonight on top of the parliamentary by-elections. Greens won Crofton Park ward at the May local elections with near 58% of the vote for the top candidate. This seat is up as Liam Shrivastava won and became the Lewisham Mayor after ousting Labour.
Andy Burnham suggests resurrecting the Northern leg of HS2 to Manchester by changing the way infrastructure projects are funded. If that works for Manchester, why not for the eastern leg to the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and Leeds, too? inews.co.uk/news/andy-bu...
