Labour rescinded my conference pass over an unspecified "breach of the event code of conduct".

10 minutes later, @owenjones.bsky.social received a similar email.

This is a terrifying, authoritarian crackdown on press freedom.

Marie launched Changing Politics in 2018. If she thought McSweeney had no idea what he was doing, why did she write this 5 days after Starmer made him chief of staff?

Glad mainstream journalists have finally asked Peter Mandelson some tough questions about his association with Jeffrey Epstein, which has been public knowledge since at least 2019.

Here's me asking Epstein's beloved "Petie" about his late friend at 2023 Labour conference

Why was this story – which weaponises hostages' experiences to undermine Palestinians' claim to recognition – leading @theguardian.com's homepage until moments ago?

“I suppose this is Kath [Viner, the paper's editor-in-chief] trying to both-sides a genocide again," one Guardian journalist told me.

Which do we prefer: cute with a hint of sneer or straight-on with a hint of babushka?

Always blows my mind that Miriam Margolyes can be on the cover of Vogue one minute but the minute she opens her mouth about Palestine...............crickets

Running an inflammatory headline from a 3-month-old report on antisemitism today, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, is the kind of irresponsible, sensationalist journalism I'd expect from the Jewish Chronicle, not the Guardian.

Itsu said Jeremy Corbyn 4 PM

Police also cite complaints from rabbis inc Barry Lerer, who in September delivered the sermon: “It is time to go to combat our enemies, not only on the battlefield but the hostile press, those on social media, the UN and governments." A good-faith actor?

Starmer isn't just trying to out-Tory the Tories on protest policing – he's following in a proud Labour tradition. An excellent potted history by @francescanwtn.bsky.social

A class act? He was *close* friends with a convicted paedophile!

And also, incidentally, with Sopel's podcast co-host, Emily Maitlis.

This kind of shameless, utterly transparent circling of the wagons by the liberal centre is the kind of behaviour that got Trump elected.

Wes Streeting weaponising his identity as a gay man to justify his puberty blocker ban, announced today and starting in January. Despicable.

Perhaps Hodge could start by investigating herself, and what she did with all that money she made from her family's apartheid-era South African business? She previously said she donated the money to charity, but can't remember which. Strange!

Every time I see Labour press releases leading the Guardian, I think of this

Billionaire media will never care about the symptoms of climate breakdown, nor liberal media about its causes.

I'll be sharing these and other ideas at the European Green Academy in Brussels later today, provided I don't catch my death in the meantime 🥶

Gonna be an extremely telling few months for the so-called defenders of democracy and the rule of law!

Clocking in for my first day at the content factory 🧢
