Labour assembled 16 people to knock on doors. If you remove people employed by Labour, candidates & elected office holders from this photo, you're left with just 2 people. Even with @wesstreeting, they can't turn out the grassroots in Hackney. Labour is in its death throes.

When running for Labour leader @Keir_Starmer signed his name to a pledge of “no more illegal wars” and promised to introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act and to make Britain a force for peace and justice. It was a barefaced pack of lies—he’s a war hawk and US lapdog.

I am delighted that the High Court has ruled in my favour on the key issues in the libel case brought by Raffi Berg. The court rejected the claimant’s interpretation of the article and ruled that it expressed an opinion based on stated material. I stand by my journalism and, if Mr Berg decides to continue the libel claim, I look forward to defending my article in court. I would like to thank my legal team at @RPCLegal, my barrister Aidan Eardley KC, and @DropSiteNews, which published the article and has stood by my journalism throughout.

Labour Together is accused of paying APCO Worldwide £30,000 for a report designed to discredit journalists who had written about undeclared donations.




Hard to see how Josh Simons could possibly remain as an MP after this revelation. An absolute disgrace. A police investigation is urgently needed. Simons has brought the Labour Party into even further disrepute. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

🔥Does this give you hope? The next Government front bench is shaping up.
