Whereas we members are very much ready and tbh I can think of one working class, northern, red head who I would put money on getting over 60% of the vote in a Leadership Race...

Also @emilythornberry.bsky.social questioning was 👏👏

Top Labour candidate says Keir Starmer is a 'disaster' who must quit immediately EXCLUSIVE: Monica Lennon said Starmer should not wait until after the Holyrood election on May 7th to stand down.

@monicalennon.bsky.social had a brilliant piece on all of this which I encourage you all to read:

www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Mandelson should never been appointed in the first place.

He had been sacked by previous LABOUR PMs!

It was a staggeringly bad judgment call.

Anas Sarwar is right (and has been for a while) that Starmer must resign.

Time MPs caught up to where the country is and found their backbone!

This 🙌

Also if every unpaid carer decided to go back to work tomorrow the NHS, Social Care, Public Finances and the Economy would crash into a blackhole!

So just to be clear...

John Swinney and the SNP believe Malcom Offord is a chancer, a racist and can't be trusted...

...Expect he can be trusted and his statements deemed factual when he is trying to smear the only non-white party leader in Scotland 🤔 🤔

#ScotlandDecides
#Election2026
#SP26

Note to self don't ever look at comments on Channel 4 News Tiktok.....

They posted the exchange between Anas and Offord and there are dozens of comments quote a speech they claim Anas gave but that speech was given by Humza Yousaf because I suppose to some people all brown people look the same 🤷

Brown Man calls out racist

Racist tries to smear brown man

John Swinney decides to *Checks Notes* side with the racist to smear the brown man aswell!?

Genuinely thought Swinney was better than that but it's clear in his desperation there is no gutter he won't get into!

#C4Debate

Watching back the #BBCDN from last night and it is really telling that out of all the leaders only John Swinney and Anas Sarwar didn't make explicit begs for "Peach Ballot" votes

Making it even clearer that across Scotland in constituencies the fight is between Scottish Labour and the SNP

Viktor Orbán being thrown from office is a great day for Europe, Democracy and Freedom.

Why did Offord and Reform question the "loyalty" of Anas Sarwar?

Because he isn't white.

It's not anymore complicated than that and let's not pretend they have a "Dog whistle"... they are using a foghorn!

#BBCDN

5000 people on a 2 year waiting list in Scotland.

300 people on a 2 year waiting list in England.

England has 10x the population but their 2 year waiting list is 94% lower!

That's on John Swinney and no-one else.

#BBCDN

14 year old cousin watching #BBCDN when Lord Awful sorry Offord comes on screen...

"Why does he look like the Mayor of Whoville"

Tbh she isn't wrong...

Reform refuse to accept that most people accessing 'benefits' are in work

That misinformation is landing

This week, a voter told me scrapping the two-child cap - which will help more working families than not - was “subsidising layabout big families.”

I shared the facts

They changed their vote

"English Supporting"

The Xenophobia is strong with this yin...

I wonder if either of the Gibsons standing for the SNP will disavow him?

BREAKING: JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE LEADERS OF
THE UNITED KINGDOM, FRANCE, ITALY, GERMANY, CANADA, DENMARK, NETHERLANDS, SPAIN, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, THE EUROPEAN COUNCIL AND JAPAN.

Presenting the reopening the Strait of Hormuz as a victory is like the Greeks failing to take Troy but celebrating the safe return of their wooden horse

As the General who deposed her takes power, my thoughts are with Aung San Suu Kyi and all those in Myanmar who continue to fight for democracy.

Where is Daw Suu Kyi?
Why won't they let her see her lawyers?
What is it about this 80 year old, Nobel Laurate that scares these little men so much?

This Good Friday, we remember Jesus’ suffering and the hope it brings.

We see that suffering today in communities facing hunger, conflict, injustice and poverty around the world.

America: We can't afford universal healthcare...

Also America: why don't we send 4 folk for a driveby of The Moon lads?

#ArtemisII

These weren’t conditional instructions. They were a call to practise inclusive, extravagant love.

Too often people share Bible verses or put crosses in their bios while ignoring Christ’s basic teaching.

Hatred pulls them from that path.

Faith isn’t something we display. It’s something we live.

🧵After taking some time away this Holy Week, I’ve been reflecting on Christ’s teachings.

Welcome the stranger.
Care for the disabled.
Heal the sick.
Provide for the poor.

No conditions. Just extravagant love.

Faith isn’t something we display. It’s something we live.

“…not fiscally credible”

Let's be clear, no one should be surprised that reform hasn't done its sums, they shouldn't be surprised that their plans don't add up or that those at the top would benefit most.

This is Liz Truss economics wrapped up in an ermine robe and teal tie.

If Reform knew these candidates had these views, re-vetted them and still selected them then what does that say about their values and principles?

Don't let there charlatans anywhere near power

In Cunninghame South, we have a 2017 UKIP Candidate turned 2022 Tory Cllr turned 2025 Reform standing...

The issue is surely that those on the right seem to only have an issue when the faith/prayers being practiced is predominately done by people of colour?

I also find it extraordinary how so many of those in a rage around the prayers in Trafalgar Square claimed to be Christians!

Romans 14:1-4!

Genuinely proud to sign this statement with comrades from across the country and from across the left.

As a Councillor, as an NPF candidate and as a decade long party member, the need for us to return to our proud Socialist Roots has never been more clear or more needed.

"the very survival of the Labour Party is at stake – as a party and a movement we cannot hide, we cannot go through the motions in the face of decline. We are running out of time."

Rayner is absolutely right.

She is an asset to @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social and our whole movement.

@yolandadiaz.bsky.social has helped transform Spain for the better

Her unrelenting focus on Workers has transformed workers rights for a generation

Her career has served to inspire thousands worldwide

¡Gracias Yolanda y solidaridad ahora, mañana, para siempre!

¡Los trabajadores!

Today, MSPs can give people the right to die with dignity.

They can vote for a bill which contains strict criteria, safeguards and processes.

And let's be clear, Assisted Dying is already legal for those with means but means shouldn't decide dignity in death.

@dignityindying.org.uk

Today, North Ayrshire IJB voted to go to "Critical Only" Criteria

Despite a record settlement the ScotGovt has provided £0 in Direct Social Care investment

As I said at the protest outside: When there is money for weapons of war and to chauffer ministers to football games there is money for care!
