Harriet Williamson on #NovaraLive: "the stench of Labour Together is all over this.. that's what was so important about what John McDonnell said.. Labour Together was the most hollow project from the get go & it was filled with some of the most unscrupulous & mendacious people in British politics"🎯

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?
A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

Robbins said no.10 put pressure on the foreign office to give Matthew Doyle a job & not tell the foreign secretary!
Doyle is the man Starmer subsequently gave a peerage to despite the fact he'd campaigned for someone who'd been charged with possessing indecent images of children
So now we've established that Mandelson is a corrupting force that sullies everything and everyone in his sphere of influence, what are we going to do about the fact he hand-picked the entirety of Labour's 2024 intake of new MPs?
Sir, a THIRD nonce-related scandal has hit Sir Kier Starmer.
Keir starmers entire argument is that he is essentially a moron that was not trusted with essential briefing about an important diplomatic position which I'll accept. I also don't think this person should be prime minister
Yeah
i normally don't like to boast but if you were defending a member of Restore Britain and got mad at me for pointing out that trajectory in advance from postliberal Labour to the nationalist right, I will absolutely do so

I don’t get these people. It’s like stanning the colour beige. Or being an enthusiastic drying paint watcher.
ASDA driver was a medical student. I think maybe it would be fine if medical students didn't have to have jobs.
Give us the grace, decency and bravery of Chris Sullivan to say this at what must be the most horrendous time any parent can go through. Humbling.
Donald Trump's Christ the Healer replaced by Sooty from Sooty and Sweep.
For one of my QM colleagues in History - he knows who he is.
This is shameless, absolutely shameless
Obvious now that the far right are going to try to claim the mantle of standing up against antisemitism to distract from their own racism and point the finger at the Greens
NEW: More than 160,000 private renters on low incomes face rent shortfalls worth up to hundreds or even thousands of pounds a year due to Labour’s housing benefit cuts
Greater Manchester and the West Midlands are particularly badly hit

👀 Absolutely get on this!
Have you considered not being such a sycophant
"The risks Hackney council is taking with this #disabled boy are terrifying." His paediatric doctor talks to me about council plans to evict this little boy from his council home & how councils must be stopped from putting #autistic kids into temporary housing www.katebelgrave.com/2026/03/inte...
It continues remarkable that the Labour ministry is pissing away the opportunities presented by its once-in-a-generation 174-seat majority in the House of Commons on the twin altars of pretending that Peter Mandelson wasn't a wrong 'un and appeasing elderly racists.
A bit of a rarity here - I was interviewed by the brilliant @katebelgrave.bsky.social for her podcast, talking about the government's calamitous attempts to cut PIP:

A reminder that people like Pippa Crerar and Jessica Elgot are basically working for Wes Streeting, as are many others at The Guardian, which makes the paper entirely untrustworthy on anything involving him or the Labour Together crew.
An organisation’s culture is set by its leader, Starmer dislikes making an argument for anything (because he’s bad at it) and that attitude spreads all the way down the party.
“…in the end, I think we have to approach human rights issues with certain principles. We have to say something is right, and we stick by what is right”

'Ever-expanding welfare budget' klaxon. There is no welfare budget and welfare expenditure as % GDP does not show a consistent rising trend over any timeframe since the 1980s. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
In a funny sort of way this 👇🏻 speaks vividly to Labour's political weakness: there is nothing and no one they won't fuck over if the right wing press demands it. Utterly bereft of all principles.
it's sort of interesting how the word 'parochial' is used in UK political discourse because, you know, how do i put this, i never see it applied to things that are /actually obviously parochial/, like anti-immigration activism or brexit
It's very Labour to suggest we should feed our war machine by fucking the most vulnerable over. It's days like this that I think Warhammer 40k is just a bit too on the nose, your average Labourite would love to feed people to the golden throne. Dream job for them.
