Last year we correctly advised the people of Caerphilly how to keep Reform out of Wales. Now we're going to help Gorton and Denton keep them out of Manchester.
Watch this space, we will be providing a recommendation soon.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child and even worse - they were introduced without consultation, warning & no evidence base

Labour - best placed to defeat this racist fraud in Gorton & Denton - should go all in on Goodwin's Trump worship. The government cannot do it but the party and its candidate can. Time to be gloves off relentless and ruthless.

Speaking on GeeBeebies, Pritti Patel has described Deform UK as "national socialists", the English transliteration of Nazi.
So bets on her being the latest defector to Nige Fartrage's wet dream by the end of next week?

There’s something weirdly convenient about discovering that Britain is broken only after you yourself have spent years running the place.
A coincidence, I’m certain.

Farage’s Brexit was peddled as “taking back control”. It’s been a shitshow. And not because we didn’t leave the ECHR. But because flouncing out of our cooperative arrangements backfires.
Prejudice makes for easy slogans but ruinous policy.
We should be very wary of this simplistic bullshit by now.

Please do get vaccinated if you've never had the MMR. You'll protect yourself and others: babies too young to get vaccinated and people like me who are too immunocompromised to have the vaccine.
I realised over Christmas that I’d never gotten my second MMR jab on account of childhood moves and policy changes. I emailed my GP and I just got it this morning, free on the NHS. It’s never too late and you can’t overdo it. Please get vaccinated.

I think if you want to mark the moment for Labour’s series of problems in Government, it stems from the moment when Sue Gray was sacked in preference for Morgan McSweeney. Winning an internal or general vote is not the same as governing.
