Starmer is staying on for the comped Champions league and WC tickets.
He'll be gone by autumn but he'll rinse the position for absolutely everything he can first, and that really says everything about him and his 'call to public service'.

If he was smart Starmer would push through PR to replace FPTP before the next general election, because they'd be completely gone in Wales otherwise, and the similar pattern will follow in England. Best bet at keeping a respectable number of MPs.
... but this is Keir Starmer.

Sad to see the outcome in north manchester.
It's been the more forgotten part of the city for years. No new projects, positivity, tangible redevelopment. Deep social divisions.
RE MP: going from Stringer to Reform would be a disaster.
Greens need to contest with someone tough.

Nobody moans louder about the effects of thatcherism than those who put her in.
Nobody moans louder about the effects of Brexit than those who voted for it.
Unfortunately nobody misses a lesson more than these people. So guess how they vote in the present...

Not being funny but if Purdah were observed, even just like it was in 2017, we'd be looking at high 30s/low 40s vote share at a general election.
Green message isn't the problem. Polanski as the head isnt the problem.
The british press and hysterics manufacturing is the problem.

.@ZackPolanski is spot on here, the Greens aren't splitting the left vote because this Labour party isn't left wing.

Great to see Manchester getting greener 🙏🏻 💚
Greater Manchester needs more work, but if you appreciate the past, present and future of this borough and the cities and towns that make it up, that green radius should grow!
Up the fucking Greens! 💪🏻

BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉
Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!

Britain, England more specifically, has a deep issue with racism. Really is that simple.
Voters throughout my lifetime (35yrs) have voted to make other's lives worse, rather than improve their own.
That can only be combated head-on. Turkeys need to be made to fear Christmas.

Socialism vs Barberism 2.0.
If progressive policies on domestic and foreign policy are being billed as radical, extremist, even communist, then guess what;
You're a radical
You're an extremist
You're a communist
Wear ridiculously applied mantles with pride and tell em' to STFU

He's sticking around for the comp'ed champions league tickets, by the way.
Even a sadist would consider this gratuitous at this point.

These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities. People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future. I was elected to change this country - tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
English
Fundamentally the way you confront the far right and their enablers in the press is with strength.
From 2017 to 2019 the left capitulated on absolutely everything. It showed at the ballots.
Greens need to double down on their message now and keep pushing.
English
Nah, its nothing, just senior politicians texting senior journalists with statements for publishing, with the latter openly sharing that like its nothing.
Must be tough typing through misty eyes, tbf to Beth.
Beth Rigby@BethRigby
A senior Labour figure texts about PM: “He doesn’t get it. He takes responsibility like my kids take responsibility for leaving towels on the floor of the bathroom, they say sorry then do the same thing the next day”
English
Key to understanding a lot of where British politics leads is understanding that A LOT of people in this country, often times enough for a majority, aren't voting to improve their lives, they are voting to make other's lives worse.

I'm Jewish.
I condemn genocide.
I condemn the Labour Governments role in the Genocide.
The Prime Minister repeatedly conflating criticism of the Israeli Governments genocide and actual antisemitism is disgusting - and makes so many of us as Jewish people feel less safe.
English
@CharMcew as soon as a meeting starts they act like its bad. so green will always have my vote now. UNLESS they throw disabled folk under the buss then they wont have my vote.
English
Voting Green Party for the first time in my life tomorrow, and with the greatest of respect to the thousands of green councillors & candidates and the great work they do, a big part is down to Zack Polanski and the offer of a genuine alternative amidst rinse & repeat misery.

@skwawkbox Same shit as Gorton and Denton, pump is much toxic lies as possible to affect an election and retract the next day after people have potentially changed their minds
It's election tampering
English
Genuinely dont mean any disrespect to either when I say this, but its absolutely disgusting I'm only seeing this through Skwawkbox via a Canary article...
Why isnt this breaking Sky News? Why are Labour reps not being pushed to explain themselves on this?
SKWAWKBOX@skwawkbox
Labour deletes smear against Green candidate after police involved... thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2026…
