Quite the intervention from Jonathan Hinder, the Labour MP for Pender and Clitheroe, on Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham calling for Britain to rejoin the EU
'We are just over a week after we took a real beating in our working-class heartlands
'It’s a very long list - we’re talking about the Hartlepools, the Grimsbys, Barnsley, places like Wigan, where this by-election is going to be, and we were losing to a party which until recently was called the Brexit Party
'And to suggest the solution now is for us to reopen that debate is just staggering, and the Labour Party is in an existential crisis, it really is, and the idea that we can reconnect to our working-class base by reopening this debate is just a staggering level of out of touch.'

@mishtal I am so sorry it has come to this. It's not fair. With you all all the way.

@SamStanier3 Watching it now! She really is a repetitive robot - I wonder why @LabourParty seems to believe she's some sort of verbal Red Adair?

@mikegardner_wb @DonnaDlm71 God no, she is just Starmer in a skirt.

@darrenpjones @christopherhope @Keir_Starmer Nobody out here either likes or rates Starmer. Keep him and you will be toast.

The election results today have clearly been tough for Labour.
I’m sorry that we’ve lost so many brilliant Labour colleagues across the country, and thank them for their service.
And I’m sorry that so many voters felt unable to vote Labour at these elections.
@Keir_Starmer has taken responsibility and committed all of us to delivering on the mandate the country gave us at the last election.
The Labour Party shouldn’t waste a minute of the time we’ve been given to get on with that job. If we turn inwards the public will think we’re walking away from that challenge.
The next election will have unity or division on the ballot. A Britain built for all, or a Britain for the few.
Britain is at its best when we come together and rise to the challenges of our time.
And Labour is at its best when our values of equality, collectivism and unity power our project for the British people.
We can deliver a better Britain in the years ahead and beat the prospect of division at the next election, but only if we come together, get on with the job and face the future.

@3YearLetterman Football. Irony. Satire. Chips. Cheese. Healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt people. A real monarchy rather than a pretendy one. Novels. And up to about 2006, pop music.

Thoughtful gesture from Bryan Mbeumo on the walk into Carrington. He was driving out, stopped for autographs and selfies and then got out of his car to have a picture with a fan in a wheelchair. Got a round of applause from waiting fans. #mufc

@unreMARKLEble I see the unmade bed has made another appearance.

#MeghanMarkle has a HUGE problem following dress code. Carey Mulligan, the star of the show that this party was for, wore chartreuse Christopher John Rogers and allegedly the other guests were asked to not wear the same color. Enter the Douchess-we have NEVER seen her in chartreuse-EVER-until last night when she decided she HAD to compete with Carey Mulligan. This is why no one fucks with her and why the women with brains want no part of her. She’s not a girls girl, and she’s pathologically selfish. Carey looked stunning at least. #MeghanIsTheProblem #MeghanMarkleHatesWomen #NeghanNarkleIsABully

Probably time to dispense with terms like ‘left, right, far-left’ or ‘far-right’ now.
All now rendered completely meaningless.
Just use ‘sane, mental, utterly mental, batshit mental’ or ‘fucking mentalist’.
It’ll make things so much easier…

@DreyfusJames The world is a hell of a lot better for some silly daftness.

What’s striking about rewatching these clips of Tiswas is the fact that its style perfectly fitted the times (‘74-‘82).
Messy, unpredictable, juvenile, yet silly, joyful & tremendous fun.
“Fun”.
Its slow, relentless removal feels deliberately destructive.
Very sad…

Chris Tarrant, Bob Carolgees, Lenny Henry, Sally James & John Gorman in Tiswas: Saturday’s have never been so good.

@SharpeFiona @AudreySuffolk @sussex_police No it isn’t normal and it’s bloody awful that it’s necessary. For what it’s worth you have my full support.

Last night I went to a communal Seder in Brighton. Just a bunch of Jewish people, average age probably over 70, celebrating a religious holiday. We had security guards outside & @sussex_police (thank you) were there while people arrived. This is our normal but it’s not is it?
