The weaponisation of violence against women and girls by the far right is far from simple.

I tried to capture the nuance here when speaking with the brilliant Moya Crockett for Stylist.

As I was speaking on panels at Labour conference last week I began to describe the Britain I know exists and love. In the end I gave it a name: Mr Blobby Patriotism

And I’ve written about it for @renewaljournal.bsky.social here bsky.app/profile/rene...
"Most of us basically love our country, even if begrudgingly – not the version we’re told to, or even presented with, but the one we really see and live in every day. Silly Sausage Britain is the Britain most of us reside in, and love."

Things are far from perfect at the moment but this Pride in Place programme is genuinely brilliant.

As @hopenothate.org.uk and @coopparty.party.coop reported earlier this year 65% of people support giving more power to local government and local people.
Campaigning with and for clubs has been a big focus for me in year one of being an MP so I am absolutely hyper that the new government Pride in Place programme has hard-wired social clubs into decision-making. Life is better when we club together. 💜

The rhetoric around asylum in this country is so unbelievably bleak.

Nigel Farage is ramping up the tensions and making promises he can’t possibly keep.

Over the past week, protests outside The Bell Hotel, housing asylum seekers, escalated into violence. While locals raised legitimate worries, far-right agitators hijacked the demonstrations. ❗

Here’s what happened, who’s behind it, and why it matters.

Reform UK has always had a tenuous link to the truth, a tradition continued by Sarah Pochin, the MP for Runcorn and Helsby. She posted a video complaining about issues in Greenway Road, Runcorn. The problem? Well people who actually live there have no idea what she’s on about.🔽

Agyeman has made three appearances as a sub for the Lionesses - scoring two international goals, before she has yet played an hour of international football!

She scored her first goal within her first minute. She scored about 10 minutes after coming on tonight.
