#ukPolitics

Across drugs, sex work, migration, and punishment, the same pattern kept repeating.

This post steps back to ask what all of that was really about — and what happens when morality and evidence drift apart in policy-making.

With all this talk of bringing back "brick phones", I'm wondering if #Lego will be the first to market…

I do like how the Greens seem to have hit the ground running with the Gorton and Denton Byelection, while Labour has it's psychodrama and Reform is too busy on GrokAI....

Whether you think Andy Burnham is Labour’s saviour or overhyped, this is still pathetic & disgusting.

Being honest, like most British trans people that I know, I’ve more or less given up on Labour, but for those that remain faithful (or just hopeful) this is hardly likely to inspire trust.

Palantir uses medical records to target people for ICE in the US - will the UK be next?

WEY Starmer's choices were both demonstrations of his weakness. This one
comes with an impression of skullduggery & brazen fixes. It also runs a
huge risk of handing the byelection to another party. The clock ticks,
louder

% Hey, remember when Starmer pledged in his leadership campaign
manifesto to let local constituencies pick their own candidates and not
have them imposed on them by the NEC? Well guess what, he lied! IKR?

to come in the north of England than have Andy Burnham as an MP.
Nothing annoys northerners more than southern politicians in London
telling us what we should do.

& No one is moving on. The PLP want Starmer gone. This is just the
beginning of the end for the Starmer project.
A project that's whole focus was getting rid of the left. Well, now you
have no voters.
No one is voting Labour again.
© John Slinger MP @johnslingermp.bsky.social - 9h
The quick & clear decision of Labour's NEC means we can move on
from the damaging, introspection & psychodrama of the last week.
Let's pull together behind whoever is selected and come together to
beat Reform and then focus on vital elections in May.
(WK) on [oF] Q &

People want to send a message to Starmer, and they will have a chance to do that in Gorton and Denton

| think Greens will win in the Manchester byelection. | don't think Reform
will get more than 30% and I think a lot of the Labour voters will go
Green because they're pissed about Andy Burnham being blocked.

Might be wise for Labour to get a leader who is less shit that Starmer then? Rather than give up.

If Labour are so hopeless, why should people vote for them over the Greens, who haven't given up?

Blocking Burnham will not stop the psychodrama
There will come a time when Starmer runs out of procedural
solutions to his political problems

@AndyBurnhamGh

1am disappointed by today's NEC decision

and concerned about ts potential impact

‘on the important elections ahead of us.

To whoever is Labour's candidate and to

‘our members in Manchester and

Tameside: you will have my full support

‘and I wil be there whenever you need me.

Tomorrow return with full focus to my

role as Mayor of GM, defending everything

we have but in our city-region over many

years.

decided to put myself forward to prevent

the divisive politics of Reform from

damaging that. We are stronger together

andlets stay that way.

PS - The fact that the media was informed

‘of the NEC decision before | was tells you

everything you need to know about the

‘way the Labour Party is being run these

days.

You would think that over 30 years of

service would count for something but

sadly not.

Natacha @natacha.bsky.social - 9m

This is the day we can be confident that Labour has completely given up
on the next election. Starmer is more concerned with his job and his
flunkies with internal conflict than governing.

It's a straight fight now between,

The Green Party --- and --- Refascist

Time to pick a side.
