I’m sat in my first Essex County Council meeting on Monday morning, listening to a councillor induction presentation. ‘Any questions?’ asks an officer. A hand goes up. ‘Yes’ says a recently elected Labour member. ‘Do I get a pension as a councillor?’. His first question was about how much money he gets. Not procedure, or meeting dates or where the loos are… but how much cash he can grab. Same old Labour.

@justdavenow89 Please avoid being so ridiculous. Mr Farage has been subjected to more scrutiny over his 30 + years in politics than most have had hot dinners. Scrutiny is one thing and is welcome. Mudslinging is another.

It's understood Sir Keir Starmer will not attempt to block Andy Burnham from standing to be an MP. The Greater Manchester Mayor will ask to run for Labour in Makerfield after Josh Simons said he would give up his seat to make way for him. Housing Secretary Steve Reed is challenged over the Labour leadership crisis.

@piersmorgan Follow the money. Did he pay correct stamp duty on said house? With Clacton house being his 3rd not 2nd was more stamp duty than previously believed owed? Remember his interview “there’s no money in politics. If you’re honest anyway”.

Whoa… WHAT?!! Farage told us it was all for security - where did he suddenly get £1.4m in cash to buy a property if it wasn’t from Harborne’s £5m ‘gift’ ? This stinks more every day.

Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham@AndyBurnhamGM·
I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

@dearbrit_ian @PolitlcsUK All anyone needs to do is read the original Guardian piece and the FT follow up by Fraser Nelson. Case closed. More holes than a piece of Emmental cheese when you compare them to Farage’s Telegraoh version.

Trying to keep up with the different stories behind Farage's £5 million. Farage: It was for security for the rest of my life also Farage: It was for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years (he campaigned for Brexit for 27 years!?!?) Ben Habib: "Farage is bought and paid for by Christopher Harborne." <-- something Farage has now confirmed.

@PolitlcsUK If anything deserves a £5m reward, it’s encouraging the country to vote to become the first nation in history to impose economic sanctions on itself

@peterjukes @reformexposed So he had the money for a house but not for security he so badly needed or the subsequent house? Also, he couldn’t then afford a knife arch in his office to stop him being stabbed.

Oh what a tangled web they weave... Farage now admits he bought the Clacton house, having told everyone last year that his partner Laure Ferrari bought the house.

My attack on the UKs most unpopular Prime Minister and his woeful program of government. The elections last week proved that voters want Reform! Best bit of Kings Speech: they copied Reform policy to nationalise British Steel for sovereign steelmaking capability. Dire plans to stop all new oil and gas exploration, getting us closer to EU. Reform will reverse these bad ideas.
