Who said “Reform Councillors are all as dodgy AF”❗️

Lancashire’s Reform-run council plans to turf old ppl out closing 5 council-run care homes & 5 day centres to sell off the land for £4 million

And get this - a cabinet member owns a private care company with his wife so could make £’s from it

Labour’s shocking plans to cut vital frontline NHS services must be stopped.

Instead of cuts to hospitals and the community in the name of austerity, the government should remove all privatisation, tax the super rich and invest in these services.

NHS trusts are cutting frontline clinical jobs and axing patient services to balance the books, health leaders have warned.

The lesson from that dire period in history is that nationalism can be incredibly dangerous and can take root very easily.

Yet in the run up to VE day the UK has been overrun with loudly proclaimed zealous patriotism. Farage could not have asked for more..

100% agree - Andy Burnham, Manchester Mayor

“Let me say something about this situation. The biggest rupture in all of that [Nigel Farage and Reform gaining votes] – is Brexit. I think partly, what Labour now needs to do, is talk more about Brexit, and how it has damaged this country’s prospects”
'Labour must start speaking about extent of Brexit damage' - Andy Burnham
At a time when Labour needs more straight-talkers and clearer messaging, Andy Burnham has popped something in the suggestion box.

Eighty years ago, enemies laid down their arms.

Since then, we, Europeans, have built something extraordinary: a Union of peace, democracy, and solidarity. An anchor of stability.

Our Union was born as a peace project, and it remains one today.

Maitlis is spot on here. Reform is not a new party. Stop treating them as such. Ukip - Leave - Brexit - Reform. The same leader. The same ideas.
Call them out on the damage they’ve done - the 5% hit on the economy, the 15% slump in trade, for broken Britain.

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise.

Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes.

Tactical voters are the silenced majority

Voting every election to keep out the very worst people

Never acknowledged by the parties they helped win

Never offered policies they showed up for in return for their vote

But forced to vote tactically because FPTP is undemocratic
