Whatever your politics, there remains a universal truth to local elections. There are two types of councillors, those who think getting elected was the finishing line, and those who think it’s the starting line. A lot of people are in for a surprise when they open their inboxes.

To wander around the centre of Belfast is to encounter breathtaking images, from duelling men to animals—so many that there’s an app to guide you economist.com/interactive/br…

Our members are working round the clock to get defendants to court. Staff shortages. Low pay. Relentless hours. And Serco walked away with £274m in profits last year. The court system is in crisis, and outsourcing is a big reason why. We're calling time on it. #GMBLondon #FairPay #MembersFirst

I was very sad to hear that Lawrence Dixon, landlord of the Champion of the Thames, had died. The 'Champ' was one of my favourite haunts and a treasury of photographic moments. I wanted to post a picture of him and thought I had a better photograph than this but actually ...

I don't normally talk work on here but... This is my frustrated face. I'm normally hard at work supporting doctors in the BMA. Had some really nice feedback this week from members I've helped get back to work after sickness, unpicked employment disputes and helped them focus 1/

@BenJoyceFoot That’s a perfectly valid opinion to have, it is your opinion but that’s all I’ve done, express a view about a genuine frustration many people share. Now that opinion can be spun how you like, but fundamentally authentic voices from real people travel further if given the chance🤷‍♂️

@PJRoberts_ Give me a Britain run by Tony Benn over one run by Mandelson and co - at least Benn was a traitor to the class he had grown up in. I don’t care what class you were born in, as long as your strength and resolve goes into putting power into the hands of the working class 👍

@AdamFMcGregor @BenJoyceFoot I don’t think it’s an attack, genuinely. I just would like to see more authentic voices on stages like this from those of all political persuasions, no political party or wing addresses this, the criticism is universal. Everyone needs to do better.

@BenJoyceFoot Ben if you want a politics where you’re governed and lectured by your betters you have it already, the rest of us are very much sick of it. It’s not about political wings, it’s about a frustration many people of all opinions share. Rightly imo, not in yours. That’s fine. Move on.

@PJRoberts_ Sorry for quite liking class traitors that do it the good way round for the workers! As someone who knocked about internal labour politics a bit, I know the GMB often get it the wrong way round when backing slates and candidates!

@joshtenz All shades. That’s what it means, it goes beyond party politics. It’s not about liking or not liking individual people, it’s about disliking the lack of certain voices in national political life.

Does this count for the many briefcase and nepo baby Labour MPs that are privately educated that talk about poverty or is it just for people you don’t like?
Peter Roberts@PJRoberts_

I don’t know about you, but if I was going to hold an event on economic distribution I would most likely not put four privately educated people on a stage. It’s getting awfully tiring hearing about poverty from people of all political shades who have only read about it in a book.

With Bangsamoro’s first parliamentary elections now scheduled for September 2026, the region appears to be approaching an important moment in its transition from armed conflict to democratic governance. buff.ly/0W7r6Va

When the left comes together on crucial issues of economic redistribution, climate justice and peace, we can — and will — win. Thank you to Yanis Varoufakis, Zack Polanski and Grace Blakeley for a wonderful evening of hope!
