After Lammy claimed ‘You don’t change the pilot during the flight’ the BBC got an actual pilot in to say yeah you do if the pilot loses control of the plane.

There is an escape route for Labour from certain disaster at the general election: use their Commons majority to ram through PR. It’s cynical, + they’d never govern alone again, but it locks Reform out of No10. The left (Lab, Gr, LD) still have a majority over the right in the UK

I have nothing against Clive Myrie. He’s a great broadcaster. But why does the BBC parachute someone from London in to front coverage of@the Welsh elections? After living in Wales for a decade I know how badly it goes down there.

Labour sources telling me that backbenchers hope to force Starmer to surrender by cutting off water and power to Number 10. I asked if that was legal and they texted back “I think the PLP does have that right, it’s an ongoing situation”

No they don’t want you to get on with the job they want change. ‘Build, baby build’ is dead. The electorate has rejected your anti nature yimbyism. It’s time to ditch the red hats and start saving green spaces. You can start with Brislington Meadows

You were elected to protect the environment and green belt but instead you gave us yimbyism and ‘build baby build’ that no one asked for. If you want to save the Labour Party start with saving our green spaces.

"I'm not going to walk away and plunge this country into chaos.” ~ Keir Starmer It is your Premiership that has plunged this country into chaos: rampant inequality & poverty; corruption; warmongering; poodleing up to Trump; authoritarianism, repression & undermining of the rule

I note Hackney’s noisiest anti-Low Traffic Neighbourhood campaigner polled a whopping 242 votes in the Hackney Central election this week, up a whole 28 on four years ago. At this rate, they’ll be a Hackney Cllr sometime in the early 2080s…👍

If this local election showed anything, it showed the public is not having it with the half measures. The government promised public ownership of rail, but services in train stations will still be outsourced. We stand with our friends at RMT in this fight.

The function of a rational healthcare system is NOT to provide huge profits to insurance companies. It is to guarantee healthcare to all as a human right. We must no longer be the only major country without universal healthcare. We must pass Medicare for All.

"The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In the early nineteenth century, fifteen hours was the ordinary day's work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busybodies suggested

The person who will lead Britain’s Sovereign AI fund is going to be Tony Blair’s daughter-in-law. All overseen by leading Labour right factional actor, Liz Kendall. Genuinely hilarious that these people lectured the Tories about probity. Now they are destroying Labour.

I do understand Catherine West’s deep frustrations. They are shared by a large number of MPs and Labour members who feel we cannot go on like this and that Keir needs to go - as I have also called for. But I can’t support the proposals she explained on TV this morning.

.Clive Lewis MP: "For every 10 voters we lose to Reform from Labour.. we lose 16 to the Greens. The reality for us is that actually, by shifting to the right.. Labour is losing its core progressive vote. That's what's happening at the moment"

Misan Harriman is a highly respected and influential Black man. He is being attacked by the Telegraph with smears. His crime is to point out that the Golders Green attacker also attacked a Muslim man. I stand with Misan.
