"The genuine opinion on the doorstep is that people really, really dislike Keir Starmer."
Labour MP Ian Lavery says the party cannot continue with the current Prime Minister.

The strategy from Starmer and McSweeney was to chase Reform voters while taking progressive Labour voters for granted.
Many of us warned that would fracture Labour’s electoral coalition and open the door to Reform.
Now polling shows exactly that: Labour’s vote “disproportionately stayed at home or went to another left party.”

Apart from Wes Streeting, nobody wants to be bounced into a precipitous leadership election without the time to build consensus over the timing & a truly democratic process. The NEC has a responsibility now to us all to prevent this hijack & insist on a proper timescale & process

Never mind the melodrama, we need optimism and action.

If you’re Labour, sign up to be part of the call to change the status quo, not just accommodate it.

Yet again the people of Scotland rejected what we offered.
We need a change in leadership and to remember what real traditional Labour values are.
Only when we get back to those values will we get the chance to positively change people’s lives and create a fairer Scotland.

My wife was targeted outside our daughter’s nursery today (handing out leaflets) & basically called a paedophile by a mum. A reform voter.
She’s a Labour councillor & 5 months pregnant!
This stuff is a threat to a functioning, well-governed society. It’s okay to just…disagree.

Joe was a great man fully committed to fairness and justice for prison officers. It’s good to see him receive the recognition he so much deserves from the excellent @POAUnion
POA@POAUnion
Joe Simpson was a Prison Officer through and through, a man totally committed to the Prison Officers' Association, the trade union movement and advancing the cause of the working class from which he came. Joe started his career at Manchester Strangeways and went on to Holme House Prison in Stockton on Tees and Northallerton becoming a POA activist and union official. His work on behalf of members, extensive knowledge and communications skills saw him rise through the ranks to the post of Deputy General Secretary of the union. Joe unflinchingly stood up for what he believed in and when he spoke people listened. Joe was loved by his friends, respected by his ‘enemies’ and admired by all those who want a better world. Such was Joe's standing amongst Prison Officer colleagues that yesterday Joe's partner Emma, family friends and colleagues gathered in Leeds for a ceremony to rename the union's northern regional office "Joe Simpson House".

NEW🚨| The big four banks made £13.8 billion in first quarter of 2026.
In 2023 the Conservatives cut the bank surcharge tax from 8% to 3%.
Restoring it to 8% would raise £9bn over four years. A 35% surcharge would raise £60bn.
It's time for the banks to pay their share.
