Under @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social He had a clear vision of his Labour values. Fast forward & his leadership has clearly affected those principles.
Note that in 2016 he wasn't wearing glasses. In 2025 his glasses were paid for a wealthy donor who gave them to him to avoid paying their fair share of tax

Experts continue to warn the Covid Inquiry that the UK's pandemic preparedness and resilience have gone backwards since 2020.

Yesterday it was the turn of Prof. Christophe Fraser.

Unless the Government knows the date of the next pandemic, its inaction is inexcusable.

Nigel Farage’s economic plans are a disaster Three choices: fiscal implosion, deep austerity or a hasty U-turn

It will probably come as no surprise to anyone to hear that Reform UK’s policies add up to an agenda of fiscal recklessness that rivals, and may well exceed, the disastrous 49-day, hair-raising, market-tanking premiership of Liz Truss in 2022

VE Day is not the big news of the day. The rapid rise in global temperatures is. The problem is we have politicians who are living 80 years in the past and are utterly unable to comprehend the future. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/05...

New figures confirm that Scotland would have been £8.3 billion better off as an independent country

I've said before it's now up to unionists, after 10+ years of the broken Vow and economic chaos, to make the case why STAYING in the Union is in Scotland's best interest. But if you don't agree, guess what? The case for leaving has never been stronger either.

We could've done a lot with £8.3B.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues.
1. Cutting disability benefits
2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance.
3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap ....

A reminder that Reform is comprised of privately educated millionaires and funded by fossil fuel companies.

They’re Tories with added racism. It’s not a fucking protest. It’s continuity. They are the elite.

The working classes need to find their self respect and fight the real problem, them.

• Re your article (Labour targets international students claiming asylum after election losses to Reform, 3 May), the insistence of this Labour government on responding to the perceived threat of Reform by aping it on the issues where it is strong is utterly mind-boggling.
I don't think any electable party will be more anti-immigration than Reform. The portion of the electorate for whom immigration is the one issue they care about won't be persuaded to vote Labour by it pledging to reduce asylum applications from international students. It's a ludicrous idea and, at best, only serves to reduce the distinction between the two parties.
In reality, Reform is weak on almost every conceivable area: the economy, the NHS, Donald Trump, Brexit... the list of vulnerabilities is almost without limit. Yet the government chooses to engage on the only ground on which Reform is sure-footed. It's utterly bizarre.
How is a party with five MPs, fewer than 800 local councillors and no actual policies allowed to dictate the agenda in this way?

V good letter in The Guardian on Labour’s flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform.
Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. We’re sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure.
It’s disloyal to your voters and to the country. You’ve got power and time. Use them.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”
