The Labour leadership's political choices caused the Runcorn defeat.
Policies that alienate Labour voters are making it much easier for Reform to win seats.
Bold policies that rebuild Labour's voter coalition are the only way to stop Reform.

Do the Lib Dems actually vote for or against anything? Liberal Abstainers
Labour and the Greens supported the move, while the Tories and a couple of Reform MPs opposed. Lib Dems and PC abstained.
It applies to England and Wales only.

I've launched this petition calling for wealth taxes, not disability support cuts.
I'll present this in Parliament ahead of any vote on these cruel cuts - as part of the campaign we need to get as many MPs as possible to vote down these cuts.

Cuts for the poor. Handouts for the rich.
That’s what this Labour government stands for.

Traitors to the Labour cause, traitors to the working class. Cowards.
Unlike the Budget, there will be no further days of debate.

There will be many Lab MPs who toe the party line but disagree with the welfare cuts (& other policy) Why? Power? Career advancement?
Wake up. Find your morals. You won’t have a career to advance by the next GE.
Represent your constituents, not your own ambition. You were elected for the former.

7% cuts to every department ✅
Starmer and Reeves are continuing Tory austerity. Time for more Labour MPs to speak out.

At Prime Minister's Questions, I called on the Prime Minister not to cut support for disabled people and instead to introduce a Wealth Tax on the very wealthiest in our society.

Labour could tax the super-rich to end poverty, build social housing and fix our NHS.
They are choosing to go after the worst-off instead.
For a while, many people didn’t know what this government stood for. They do now: tough choices for the poor, endless money for war.

What you are seeing this morning over the refugee decision is Labour alienating and offending its remaining liberal supporters without bringing any new voters onside.

Labour pushing so pathetically hard for the Reform vote - a vote they’re likely never to gain whatever they do.
Meanwhile, alienating their actual main voter base. 😀👍🏻

Yet more performative cruelty. This means someone who fled for their life 25 yrs ago, got refugee status in the UK, and has been part of their community here ever since - maybe married, had kids, started a business - can never be a citizen. That’s not right.

Richard Tice and Nigel Farage caught NODDING at #PMQs when Keir Starmer says Reform UK would replace the principle of the NHS being free at the point of use, for everyone, with an insurance-based model.
Selling off our country's greatest achievement.

Today Conservative MPs will seek to block a piece of legislation that will actually help protect vulnerable children from abuse, in order to gain a few retweets from a far-right billionaire.

‘Tough decisions’ is my favourite. Hitting the poorest and weakest in society isn’t a tough decision. It’s easy. Hitting the richest and strongest would be tough but successive governments have cowered in the face of that.
