Daily Mail front page regurgitating Badenoch’s claim that appointing Mandelson USA ambassador makes Starmer ‘unfit to govern’.
And the co-host of Peter Mandelson’s drinks reception before last year’s White House Correspondents Dinner was…
‘Medical records showed the detainee was taken to hospital in the summer of 2024 with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to Israeli media reports on the indictment.’

Shame can be a destructive emotion, but this is what a culture without shame looks like.
And it's consistently rewarded and indulged.
Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.
Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Feel like this should have got bigger pick-up last week
The General Secretary of Labour's largest affiliated union and biggest donor over last 10 years writing in the @financialtimes.com they might disaffiliate in 2027.
And if this is happening in Unite, other unions will be considering similar...
Awks for Tories & Reform who want to keep us hooked on fossil fuels: new @theCCCuk report shows transition to net zero will cost less than a single oil shock - £4bn a year - as well as delivering health & security benefits
GREEN VS REFORM VOTE GREEN! Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Today is the day.
Hope vs hate.
Green vs Reform.
Vote Green in Gorton & Denton.
Loved chatting with @zackpolanski.bsky.social in a live @boldpolitics.bsky.social from #Brighton - we covered everything from the climate & nature emergency (obvs), telling better stories of England, hope & despair, & why we often do end of life so badly - give it a listen 👇
“It is up by 42% since hostilities began. American motorists are already paying over $3.40 for a gallon of petrol on average, around 50 cents more than on February 27th. In Europe prices of natural gas, of which the Gulf normally ships lots in liquefied form, are 92% higher than before the war.”
Disappointed that Labour MPs voted against increasing the #ASGSF tonight. We are told tough choices need to be made, but the Department for Education spent nearly £50m on ads last year—up £15m in two years. Halving that could restore vital therapeutic support for thousands of children.
This is an escalation by DHS.
Six US Citizens and permanent residents are now home after being held over 30 hours at O’Hare, transferred to Broadview, and moved across state lines.
Community pressure got them home. So many more do not have that support.
Good.
Don Jr. and Eric Trump backing a drone company to target military sales is a total collapse of American ethics. In any functioning democracy, the President’s family selling weapons to the military their father leads would be a federal crime.
WATCH. You’ve never seen anything like this:
More than 1200 people have been killed across Iran, with many more injured and hospitals under attack.
No nation should be able to break intl law with impunity - civilians and healthcare facilities must be protected and those responsible for illegal attacks held to account.
Happy Friday everyone - here with a quick update on what I've been up to as your MP this week!
Outrageous that Trump is trying to bully Britain into handing over more NHS cash to big US pharma.
Keir Starmer should put the NHS and the interests of British patients above his attempts to cosy up to Trump. Scrap this bad deal now!
Reform are in denial about why they lost by 12% in Gorton & Denton (60% white, 80% UK-born) after losing by 11% in Caerphilly (98% white, 98% UK-born) to Plaid Cyrmu
Both seats unusual in seeing more people vote than at last Welsh Senedd/last GE: more voters turned out to stop Reform than supoort

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.
New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:
🟢 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000
Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

1/2 NEW: This national security assessment, broadcast for the first time after the Government tried to hush it up, makes clear what many have sensed for some time...
So pleased to support #AVeryEnglishChat - at a time of division, by bringing individuals & communities together to share their own reflections on national identity, we can discover far more compelling & inclusive stories of who we are & who we can be 👇
I see Farage is off to Mar-a-Lago to talk down Britain and suck up to Trump.
There's nothing patriotic about cheering on a foreign leader whose illegal war is sending British families’ energy bills through the roof.
"We saw that change in Gorton and Denton – and that result unlocked a new level of confidence for potential Green voters that they can truly vote for what they want and get it."

A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚
INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer The new Green MP for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚
US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called ‘allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.
