Keir Starmer did everything he could to be US poodle and his strategy has ended in total humiliation. Both him and Farage are puppets of a hostile foreign nation.

It's obvious that if someone is a bully - you don't just keep appeasing them.

Disastrous strategy by Labour.

There was a stream of people who used to vote Labour now voting Green.

"It has now become a torrent."

Greens look set to clean up as Labour switchers move left
Labour voters liked the insurgent party even before the arrival of their new leader. As local elections approach, Zack Polanski appears ready to break through in the areas Keir Starmer neglected

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

Emily Thornberry makes an incredibly patronising, smug video on Labour account on Instagram - even by her standards!

These Labour ministers with Reform- just can't seem to stop talking about the Green Party.

And it's just making membership rise & rise!

All in one day:

Immigration Minister lied about me with a slur.

Wes Streeting then tried a different attack.

And the Evening Standard write yet another attack piece because I dare to say we need to tax the rich.

Want to help create our better future?

First they ignore you.

Then they attack you in the budget.

Another council meeting, heated courtesy of the hot air pumped out by the Tories
Reform fully backed the Tory white paper
Again proving there's nothing different about reform, it's just a more extreme version of the Tory Party, backed by the same billionaires working for the billionaires!

Labour really don't get it. The local Labour party in Reading have started putting litter picks and nature restoration on their leaflets, completely misunderstanding the threat.
I think somehow it's going to take a lot more then that.

But yes, that would be welcome.

The BBC must reassert its independence and learn to resist political interference and stand up for robust scrutiny and news values.

The Culture Sec Lisa Nandy must also resist Trumpian pressure in appointing the new DG. It's messy and the Beeb is in trouble, but we should fight for its future.

Trump is now promoting right-wing channel GB News over Britain's flagship national broadcaster. GB News has been repeatedly sanctioned for misleading and conspiracy theory content. The Telegraph has faced a stream of press watchdog probes for misleading reporting, particularly on the climate.

Michael Prescott, behind the leaked dossier, is a corporate lobbyist and former Murdoch press man.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. It is still highly trusted and vital.

It doesn’t belong to the US, shady think tanks, or vested interests in the media. It needs to grow a backbone.

The former Chairman of the BBC, Richard Sharp, helped secure then-Tory PM Boris Johnson a loan for £800.000.

And still there is a pattern of right-wing attacks on the BBC. Johnson and his top adviser Cummings wanted the BBC destroyed. They did not hide it well.

Went on LBC News earlier to discuss the BBC shambles.

I said the BBC has kowtowed to Trump in the US and conservative outlets here - both of which want the Beeb dead.

Two of the most senior people quit over a 10-second clip using Trump’s exact words, albeit put closer together than he’d like.

We all need to appreciate the lunacy of ostensibly British 'patriotic' outlets cheering on a foreign leader threatening to bring down one of our country's most valued institutions.

The left-wing bias claim is nuts – Davie, a former Tory candidate, had overseen the BBC drawing up plans to win over voters of Reform UK, as my Byline colleague @adambienkov.bsky.social reported in June. BBC board member Robbie Gibb helped set up GB News - which is now cheering the Beeb's turmoil.
