Lisa Nandy: “I don't think anyone in this country wants to reopen the Brexit debate.” The Country:

So listen. @thenerve_news has the receipts. A comprehensive timeline of Nathan Gill & Nigel Farage’s pro-Kremlin influencing activities & 2 other MEPs, David Cobourn & Jonathan Arnott. Please read & share.

I'm one Backbench MP. As a direct result of this Leadership shambles, I've had at least one and potentially two Ministerial Meetings cancelled due to resignations and now having to pull out of a Conference on cancer next week due potential votes on Starmer next week. And I'm just one Backbench MP....Can you imagine the impact of this all across Government?

Yesterday Keir Starmer announced Labour will nationalise British Steel and save 2700 jobs. The Uni of Nottingham put 2700 staff at risk of redundancy. This is just one university. Across the UK 15,000 higher education jobs need saving. Where is the rescue package for our universities? Cities and towns will be devastated by these job losses.

Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story. Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories. Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?

I’m hearing that Andy Burnham has purchased a meal deal at WH Smith in Euston station. Beth, Sam and Sophy are en route to ask the checkout assistant what flavour crisps he chose. Meanwhile Nigel Farage trousered a £5m bung and didn’t declare it. Back to the crisps story.

I’ve never before been as worried about the BBC’s news reporting. The last government’s efforts to capture it are bearing fruit. It’s intent on discrediting any Labour government, be it Starmer’s or a successor’s. The refusal to investigate Farage’s £5m is otherwise inexplicable.

For those who don't know the ins and outs of the media, I have been approached by two national outlets today to ask me to go on their programmes to talk about the @UKLabour government. To both of them, I said I'd go on in order to make the case for stability and order.

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73421/co…

The UK voted the Tories out of office with a vengeance after more than a decade of mismanagement, corruption and scandals, so naturally the UK then opts to vote them all back into power again, under a different name, alongside the architect of the UKs decline via Brexit. FFS.

At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are… Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.

I see Farage has been referred to the standards watchdog over his £5m grift. It would be a shame if everyone was talking about just before Thursday’s elections.

Laura Kuenssberg, "The UK's anti terrorism chief has said that antisemitism is the biggest national security emergency in almost 10 years, do you agree with that?" Zack Polanski, "Jewish communities aren't safe, and this isn't an abstract idea for me as a Jewish person" "In the last six weeks two people have been arrested for antisemitic actions towards me" "And just yesterday the Times newspaper published a vile antisemitic caricature of me, and have yet to apologise or withdraw that" "You just had that conversation with Labour's Heidi Alexander on the marches" "I am both pro Palestinian and I'm Jewish, and I care about Jewish safety" "There's no conflict in those positions" "Where some of the conflict comes is actually from Benjamin Netanyahu who frequently conflates people's Jewish identities with supporting the Israeli government" Laura Kuenssberg, "I wasn't asking you about Neyanyahu's actions" Zack Polanski, "There is an emergency, there is a problem and we need to tackle antisemitism" Laura Kuenssberg, "He said it's the biggest emergency since the ISIS attacks ten years ago, do you agree with that or not?" Zack Polanski, "There was a report out from the Joint Intelligence Chiefs that talked about emergencies in this country being the climate criss, food security, threats from Russia and cybersecurity" "I'm not denying there is an issue with antisemitism, but what I am saying is that all of these emergencies need dealing with and I don't think that it's helpful to prioritise one above the other"

Starmer declares a two grand gift for half a dozen pairs of glasses: National outrage, Starmer's a liar, he's on the take, demands for a GE. Farage is secretly bunged with £5,000,000 by a crypto billionaire: Barely gets a mention. @BBCNews @GMB @itvnews @SkyNews @Ofcom @lisanandy

🚨 Major FT investigation out today: *Reform UK ran a council for a year. Things went badly * After winning Staffordshire County Council in May 2025 (49/62 seats), the reality has been chaotic. 🤯 Leadership meltdowns, racism scandals, soaring complaints & a tax rise instead of cuts. Think 🤔 before you vote before you drive Reform UK to run your council.

A retweet by Zack Polanski is now the main story across every single media outlet. Two days ago, it was revealed that Nigel Farage failed to disclose a £5 million gift from a crypto-billionaire. It gets nowhere near the media attention, for straightforward political reasons.

Excited to share our ‘Evolutionary characterization of #LungCancer metastasis’ in #TRACERx & #PEACE, published today in @Nature: a decade spanning effort led by the Jamal-Hanjani lab, @SwantonLab, @NickyMcGranahan & @ZaccaSimo at @uclcancer & @TheCrick. Link below

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

Trump was literally asked at the White House ON CAMERA if he was concerned about allegations that he was using the war to manipulate the stock market for personal gain. He didn't react with shock. Or anger. He didn't respond by saying he would never do such a horrible thing. He laughed, looked directly into the camera and said, "the whole world is a casino." People are dying and he simply doesn't care as long as it lines his pockets.
