NEW: 100 Manchester artists and their helpers have gathered to remove their works en masse from this year’s HOME exhibition in protest at the cancellation of Palestinian event, ‘Voices of Resilience’ Comes after 1000 people protested outside the venue on Saturday.

The thing that really grates about applying this kind of “Inside Baseball” analysis to politics is we’re not spectators, it’s something we’re active participants of and impacted by. So the deceit of a politician shouldn’t be brushed off as if it’s just a clever move in a fun game

'Labour needs a shake.' Former Labour MP Clare Short tells Andrew Marr she will 'probably vote for Green' in the General Election.

If you've made it this far, I'm going to shill for the Greens (join.greenparty.org.uk/join-us/). The Green Party is democratic, progressive, and with some of the most supportive, principled people you could meet. It's good to be in a party again that I'm proud of being a member of.

Do not vote Labour. The people running it have clearly gone out of their minds, high on factional rage. Don’t give these petty score-settlers the keys to the country

To anyone who thinks Labour will be the lesser of two evils on Palestine: we are weeks away from the head of We Believe In Israel potentially becoming a minister of state. A Starmer govt will be significantly more ideological about perpetuating the genocide than a Sunak one.

I think people of conscience should vote against Labour this year. They’re going to win anyway and a minority government is the least bad available option

Faiza Shaheen, Lloyd Russell-Moyle – this is exactly the kind of Stalinist purge the hacks were all screaming would happen under Corbyn (and never happened). So much for the broad church, eh?

It's hard to watch Newsnight. Just huge sorrow & heartbreak for Faiza Shaheen. Who treats people like that? To find your whole campaign has been cancelled by an email a few days before nominations. It's callous. It's cruel. And it's a mark of who they are. Solidarity, Faiza.

I’m genuinely worried for my civil liberties under a Keir Starmer government. Watch this, from Faiza Shaheen tonight on #newsnight

Labour using risible claims of antisemitism to bully and ruin the political fortunes of women of colour is one of the most obnoxious things I’ve seen in politics. It is using fake accusations of racism to be racist. Utterly shameful. No self-declared antiracist would tolerate it

If Faiza was Jewish you simply wouldn’t dream of writing this. This is how a hierarchy of racism operates.

Michael Wheeler sat on the three person panel that blocked Faiza Shaheen for liking perfectly reasonable tweets. Faiza’s baby cried throughout (she had been given only hours notice of the meeting that decided her fate). Michael had his camera off as he was “out and about”. Two

Stepping back, there’s not been a result for the non-Labour left like this since *at least* Communist Party heyday in late 1940s & they only got 2 MPs, weren’t 2nd place across country. Tectonic shift, far bigger than Iraq - the big q is whether English left will take opportunity

🚨 So it’s not about concerns over women’s safety. 🤔

28% swing in Sefton from Labour to the Greens tonight.

Keir Starmer arriving at work tomorrow
