I checked this too.
*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

In local election purdah.
This is not normal. At all.
It's been a big, big job, but we've done it. Just gone live, the ultimate guide to the 2026 London borough elections, compiled by me and @lewisbaston.bsky.social - www.onlondon.co.uk/london-decid... #london
It's quite interesting how many different ways they've found to misjudge the mood here, but yes, this is particularly offensive.
It is a source of daily exasperation for me that we finally have a Secretary of State for net zero who really cares about it, has deep subject expertise as well as political game, & is actually doing SO much to address it - but is part of the otherwise most abysmal Labour government in living memory
The most famous warm-up in football history.
On this day in 1989, Napoli faced Bayern Munich at Olimpiastadion in Munich and Diego (inadvertently) created a piece of art for the ages 🥹
Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
I'm shocked, *shocked*, that once again the Greens are opposing renewables
I'm sure he's furious. But not for the right reasons.
Starmer's avoidance of saying "Mandelson has passed DV" suggests to me he knew it would be untrue.
Thus, saying "normal procedures were followed", "I'm furious" etc are all so far from 'the whole truth' as to be lies.
Saiqa Ali. Lambeth Labour and Lambeth Lib Dems have both written to the Greens urging themselves to disassociate themselves from her (too late to take her off the ballot as a Green candidate, but not too late to publicly make clear that she will no longer be a Green member, whether she wins or not).
I would prefer him not to lie through his teeth. Which is what I think he has done.
Isn't it strange that Starmer, believing Mandelson had passed vetting, never explicitly said so?
He never said "Mandelson passed vetting", preferring the "due process" line.
Almost as though he knew what to avoid saying, to avoid lying explicitly.
Exactly.
Green Party candidate for Lambeth shares a poster: "I want YOU to die for Israel - because I'm owned by Jews"
Green Party candidate for Lambeth shares picture of goblin-like Jewish caricature crying. Caption reads: "Don't you know the rules?? We went through the Holocaust and now we get to kill everyone, forever!!"
Green Party council candidate in Lambeth.
In a normal world, it would not be sustainable for a Party which claims to be "anti-racist" to ignore this, or to try and punt it away by telling everyone that everything is ok because Zack Polanski is Jewish
We are meant to believe that Starmer believed Mandelson had passed vetting and yet never said "Mandelson passed his vetting" in all his many statements.
And thus avoided actually lying.
How incredibly fortunate.
Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.
Lovely People.

"As Paul wrote to the Ephesians, 'Say "what" again! Say "what" again, I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker, say "what" one more goddamn time!'"
I wonder how much of that was the process itself and how much down to how Dover are implementing it for foot passengers.
I was registered in approx 60 seconds at customs in Lille Eurostar. I *guess* it took longer than it would have if I'd already been registered, but there were no knock-on effects.
My bike was stolen from Ealing Broadway bike racks right under a CCTV camera - understand that the police can’t look at hours of footage for every theft. But how can I get access to the footage?
In a 'fight' between this Pope and Trump.
I know whose side I'm on.

Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction.
We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s.
We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third.
And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.
Try saying this to, say, British personnel based in Cyprus. Do they not deserve to be protected? Would he withdraw them all back to the UK?
