That happened to me. Maddest cat I ever had, now sadly gone and still very missed. My pastel portrait of her.
Which Angela Rayner turned up to your celebration? The left wing reforming Corbynite Angela Rayner? Or the right wing Tory light Starmer prop Rayner that likes, to hob nob with hedge fund managers?
When union leaders advocate for the same policies as the right and far right, it's time for them to go. Climate change is real. Ed Miliband is right, no new drilling in the North Sea.
The duchess says all you need is - a nice chair for sleeps. #caturday
Progressive policies are not looking likely if his financial team is anything to go by.
Two years as a Labour MP. Two years as a Labour Party member. Smell a rat anyone?
A Labour MP not interested in why Labour voters don't vote for them. Only interested in retaining those 2024 voters. She also thinks Labour are let wing and progressive. "I give up".
Those organisations may say Gaza is a genocide, Andy Burnham couldn't possibly comment. 🤫😠
I'm going to be charitable and assume Burnham genuinely does mean what he said, the problem he will have is the Labour Party machine. Its already stopped two leaders from breaking with neoliberalism, Miliband and Corbyn.
Some cabinet ministers ars so careless. He's another one who's had his phone nicked. He's given the cabinet office an idea of the convos, so that's ok. Good job there's nothing of national importance on these devices.
Chinese minister Lan Fo’an, sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Tamir Hayman a former Israeli military intelligence general, are all named in the piece. So, who's the unnamed 4th man (or woman)? 🤔
Between 1997 and 2005 Tony Blair drove away 4 million traditional Labour voters. A reminder of why that was.
"Milburn also spoke of the “enormous benefits bill” which was “escalating fast” and he said the number of young people claiming a health and disability benefit had doubled in five years". Oh yeh. Milburn being disingenuous again. Source, the Resolution Foundation.
Also, Labour and Tory coalition in Kent. Vote for any party get Tory.
The dark lord Mandelson has come out for Streeting for Labour leader? Well that's a complete surprise, said nobody. 💚💚
That's from 2015, one month before the announcement of the leadership election. He was trying to ride the Corbyn wave to shore up his lacklustre campaign. At that point, Labour still believed Corbyn couldn't win, it was a safe position. Read the piece, hardly a full throttle statement of support.
Andy has been fecked over by Labour Together once, maybe twice. We know they can't help themselves when It's dirty tricks against the left (I know, I know). So let's give it another go.
This looks like a modern democracy in action. Remind me again, what century is it?
Streeting has called Starmer's bluff and is going for a leadership challenge. The Independent is saying the same thing.
