Starmer has little to offer voters of either right or left in Gorton and Denton. That’s why he’s facing a perfect storm | Owen Jones
The Greens are buoyant as Labour struggles. After shredding any semblance of a progressive agenda, fear of Reform is all the PM’s party has left, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Starmer keeps using this line, & it's bonkers.
Most importantly, it's untrue: the party that ended Free Movement, ran the "hostile environment" & made Suella Braverman Home Sec did not run "an experiment in open borders".
It's also politically mad. Voters who believe this will not vote for Starmer

!["And this is what Keir Starmer’s press secretary has said about Robert Jenrick at the lobby briefing this morning.
[Highlighted] Robert Jenrick was the immigration minister in a government that presided over an open borders experiment [Highlighted], a health minister who left people stuck on waiting lists, and a Treasury minister during the worst decline in living standards on record.”
While Reform continues to welcome failed Tory retreads, this Labor government is putting the country back on track."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cixgmtrg7nzy4gkmyfeosaox/bafkreibe3jczrmbmzfnhj2adl4qe432lbpmcbn6m6qrentwih7vxj4fu7y@jpeg)

London’s lowest homicide rate in decades hasn’t happened by chance.
It’s the outcome of a strategy we’ve pursued since the start of my first term as Mayor: to be tough on violent crime, and tough on the complex causes of violent crime.

Great progress in new poll for Wales.
Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th.
Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.

As always, GOVTs are WAY behind the curve when it comes to new tech and regulations.
Only Australia (as far as I'm aware) has taken even remotely adequate action to protect some of the vulnerable.
It would also be a useful starting point to attack the far right.

Gary Lineker, "I actually think that 80-90% of the country just want to get on with their lives, be friendly with their neighbours"

So true.
