We are saddened to learn that Scotland Rugby great Scott Hastings has passed away.
Hastings earned 65 caps for his country and toured twice with the British & Irish Lions in 1989 and 1993.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time, as well as everyone connected to Scotland Rugby.

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.

@AngelaRayner @PatrickChristys Bet you still can’t decide where you live though.. depends who’s asking I guess

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.
I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.
When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.
I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.
I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC.
I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

I think it’s now the time to seriously investigate who @Keir_Starmer is serving - clearly it isn’t the British public.

Let's have a look at the Prime Ministers who left number 10 early over the last 10 years.
🐀David Cameron left because he didn't want to implement what the nation had just decided, despite promising he would.
🤥Teresa May left because she pretended she was going to implement what the nation decided in 2016, did her best not to, but got found out.
🔪Boris Johnson was kicked out because the Establishment feared he was going to implement what the nation decided in 2016, and had their man in No. 11 stab him in the back.
💷Liz Truss was kicked out because the Establishment didn't want her, and she was trying to implement economic policies the Establishment didn't want.
⏰️Rishi Sunak went to the country early because there was a danger Reform would win a later election and implement what the nation had decided in 2016 but the Establishment didn't want.
⚖️Keir Starmer is about to be kicked out because he was defeated by the party still trying to inplement what the nation decided in 2016.
I'm sure there is a lesson in there somewhere, for the next Prime Minister, if they want last longer than the last six.

It comes down to these two signatures applying for and then certifying her postal ballot in a 2004 election.
She says she signed them both. Did she?
Incredible reporting from @pennycenturyy for @brumdispatch.

Shabana Mahmood’s special advisor threatened us with an injunction and two different lawsuits last night in an attempt to block this story linking her to a notorious vote rigging case.
I think it’s strongly in the public interest, so here it is.
