What a day! What a spectacular, creative and dramatic launch for This Slavery. The book is superb! The exhibition, a tribute to Ethel Carnie Holdsworth was truly inspiring. Well done to you all!

It’s all kicking off at Queen Street Mill Textile Museum Burnley, inc a huge steam engine, @commonerschoir.bsky.social, Clarion Choir, @jenniferballads.bsky.social, @jennyharper.bsky.social, Burnley Youth Theatre, Pendle Radicals and more. Tickets sold out weeks ago, but if you’ve got one flaunt it!

Starmer would have to agree to let him stand in a by-election - and he sure ain't gonna want to do that

I think Zack Polanski is great!
I've joined the Green Party and feel welcomed there.

I think Labour would stand a chance if they were brave enough to ditch Starmer for Andy Burnham well before the GE - but this lot aren't brave are they?

Yes. The next GE is a long time away, and people are beginning to get a taste of the reality of Reform in local government.
It’s helpful to remember that most people are not hateful, most people are kind and helpful given the opportunity. Let’s make sure there *is* an opportunity ✊

Yes, what Mamdani has shown is people want left wing policies to vote for - personality matters (and Polanski is communicating well) but policies matter the most
