Blame for Labour’s defeat lies squarely with Keir Starmer and his clique. They put factional interests over having the candidate best placed to win, Andy Burnham. If Labour is to be the “Stop Reform” party, then the leadership must stop treating progressive voters with contempt - and start appealing to them. That means a return to real Labour values - through policies like a Wealth Tax, public ownership of energy and water, and an ethical foreign policy that are all popular with the public. And it means ditching the approach of trying to ape Reform and kicking the left, that has alienated so many people who have voted Labour previously.

The Prime Minister says he changed the Labour Party. He's right. He changed it from a party of principle, workers and peace, to a party of patronage, the establishment and war. Poverty, corruption and complicity in genocide. That will be his government's legacy.

BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief. “Streets of Minneapolis”. He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday. Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can

“Sometimes it’s okay to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice” Gary Lineker, some man 👏 #NTAs

Kneecap to headline at French Glastonbury Music Festival Rock en Seine despite Mayor of Saint-Cloud Éric Berdoati withdrawing €40,000 of funding. Rock en Seine said they will not be intimidated by any political pressure and maintained the Kneecap concert. euronews.com/culture/2025/07…

In an increasingly volatile and dangerous world, Israel has become a law unto themselves. Why has this been allowed to happen? When was it decided they got a free pass? 🤷‍♂️

Gary Lineker is a good man, a national treasure, a role model. Being forced out of MOTD because he’s horrified by war criminals murdering kids (in a war the BBC refuses to cover without fear and favour) is enraging. The BBC allows free speech, but only if you’re right wing.

A channel wants rid of a man of principle who dares to champion the oppressed, the vulnerable & the downtrodden whilst falling over itself to give a voice to fascist Farage & Tice at every possible opportunity. 🤷‍♂️ bbc.com/news/articles/c626jx…

So many Labour supporters have now completely turned against Keir Starmer who has given an “island of strangers” anti immigration speech after years of being pro immigration. Kevin Maguire: "He's completely lost any moral ground he had as Prime Minister.”

Recent burning on incredibly steep slopes at Midhope #Peakdistrict and a series of drainage ditches (Grips) on Thirlstone moor put #Sheffield at risk of flooding. #ReclaimOurMoors and let's have community ownership for #NaturalFloodManagement - keeping water on the Moors

Wish the BBC commentators would shut up and let us hear Tide Lines.. #bbcrugby

Bearing in mind that Starmer doesn’t speak to @HackneyAbbott & has never spoken to @zarahsultana. x.com/CharlieSansom/status/1…

I'm 63. All my life I could not understand how so many ordinary people participated in or simply "went along" with the Holocaust It made no sense to me Seeing the attitude of so many comfortable people in the West to the GENOCIDE in Gaza, I feel that I now understand

The #AmsterdamAttack saga has exposed something crucial about the reaction of Starmer and Lammy. They’re not interested in the facts as any serious politician would be. They’ve reacted as members of Labour Friends of Israel above all else with pro-Israel spin and propaganda.

Very distressing to see the dangerous flooding in Spain - my heart is with all those affected We know events like this are made more likely by climate breakdown. All governments must act now to be ready for and prevent catastrophes like this in future Inaction is not an option

Wes Streeting says Labour doesn't want to scrap the £2 bus fare cap but they have no choice. He's lying. Politics is about choices. Labour could introduce a wealth tax that targets the super rich, but Keir, Rachel and Wes would rather make ordinary people poorer.

If only he was in charge. Oh, hang on a minute…
