Mad Miliband vows a permanent shutdown of the North Sea He will ban all new oil and gas fields in Britain, making it far harder for future governments to reopen the North Sea. This man is hellbent on wreaking disastrous havoc and turning the UK into a third world country. He smirks because his pockets are well-lined, to the detriment of the pockets of ordinary Brits. He vies for the Labour leadership but we must remove this corrupt cretin from British politics once and for all. He was vanquished in 2015! Why is he still here?

@AngelaRayner Hmmm

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing. I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax. When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate. I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this. I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.  I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

@AndyBurnhamGM Ambition Before Accountability. The Pattern Burnham Hopes You've Forgotten

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

Ed Davey saying the quiet part out loud. He wants PR to happen just to stop Reform. He sees Reform as a threat to democracy after *checks notes* millions of people voted for Reform to win the local elections. A liberal’s motto is if you can’t beat them, change the system.

After the second fossil fuel crisis in five years, it's clear that clean power is the only route to energy security. The Energy Independence Bill is the next step in our mission: tackling the affordability crisis, creating thousands of jobs and delivering energy security.

@visitnorthyork I was there last Thursday. Well opposite in Kendalls

Ed Davey: Greens are extreme populists & LibDems represent British values like decency Like being PO minister & ignoring Alan Bates & then pocketing a huge amount of £ working for a law firm defending the PO against attempts by sub-postmasters to get justice? Decency like that?

@RachSalv @Feargal_Sharkey No different to South West Water then 🤔

I nearly fell off my chair when I found out that Gibraltar HAS NEVER HAD A SEWAGE PLANT and therefore ALL ITS RAW, UNTREATED SEWAGE (from a mere 40,000 people and their businesses) is dumped straight into the MEDITERRANEAN Sea. Great work, guys. theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

@HJB_News__ Withdraw their UK citizenship

Two lawyers have been arrested in connection with a BBC undercover investigation into immigration advisers helping asylum seekers pretend to be gay to stay in the country. What should be their punishment?

The company behind the “Gatwick Gusher” oil field in Surrey has asked for permission to restart the shuttered project that estimates up to 100 billion barrels below the ground at the Horse Hill site near Gatwick Airport. But in 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that the company’s successful planning application in 2019 was unlawful as it had not evaluated Horse Hill’s impact on the climate by counting the greenhouse gas emissions produced by downstream buyers of the oil. Will sense and UK energy security prevail? #CostOfNetZero

The Lib Dems have admitted to unlawfully discriminating against former parliamentary candidate and award-winning BBC journalist David Campanale because of his Christian beliefs. After a four-year legal battle — costing over £250,000 — Mr Campanale was vindicated. He was “mocked and abused” for his beliefs and forced out as the prospective candidate for Sutton and Cheam. One of the key instigators was now-MP and former rival Luke Taylor. Taylor now holds the role as the Lib Dem spokesperson for London. The party has now admitted multiple counts of unlawful discrimination and agreed to pay damages. This is not an isolated case. The Free Speech Union has seen repeated instances of the Lib Dems treating people appallingly for expressing lawful, protected beliefs. At the very least, Ed Davey’s Liberal Democrats should apologise. Read more below 👇

@BackupLowe Ed Davey is not fit to shine your shoes.

Ed Davey has just said that I am ‘aiding and abetting’ the destruction of his country. He’s right. Restore Britain is going to destroy his version of our country. And we will replace it with one that works for British men and women, and them only. It will be glorious.
