The election results in England, Wales and Scotland are a disaster for the Labour Party, and I send commiserations to the many fantastic Labour representatives who have lost their seats. Frankly, if we don’t get our act together, Labour will face total destruction. The writing was on the wall after Gorton and Denton, after Runcorn and Helsby, and after last year’s local elections. People are desperate for a government that, after a decade of Tory austerity, will reverse the decline in living standards and tackle widening inequality. Today, voters are once again showing us that we are failing to do this at the pace and scale that the country needs. Instead of listening, the leadership doubled down on Reform-lite immigration policies, cut support for the most vulnerable, and made a series of unfathomable political blunders that have damaged Labour’s integrity and people’s trust in us. Some will argue that the answer is to go even further in chasing Reform. Not only would that be a betrayal of everything our party stands for, but we’ve also seen how pandering to the far-right only normalises, legitimises and strengthens their politics of division and hate. Today’s election results are proof that this won’t work. So where do we go from here? We need a Labour government that recognises its duty to working-class people, that fights for our rights and living standards, that takes on the vested interests holding this country back, and that makes the case for a more just and equal society. It’s also clear that in England we’re losing council votes to the Greens and seats to Reform, often by small margins, and first-past-the-post is turning those margins into a gift for the far right. Without proportional representation, that same system could hand Farage a majority government in 2029 on a minority of votes. We did not secure a historic majority in 2024 to be tepid in government, to punish the most vulnerable or to mimic our opponents. From housing to our hollowed-out public services, the country faces interlocking crises that demand bold policies and a progressive government with the courage to deliver them. With this in mind, I believe the Prime Minister should announce a timetable for his departure.

Hi, Husband and wife own 1.5m of farmland and assets, each. So this is a small family farm. Husband dies, wife now has a 3m share. Wife dies Daughter inherits and has a £600,000 inheritance tax bill. The farm earns her an income of 25k per annum , however, she has to pay her tax bill over 10 years (yipee) oh no, wait, that's 60k per year 🤔 What is she to do? She could sell assets, but she needs them to run the farm. she could lay off workers, but then who helps her with the farm? The only alternative is to sell land. For sale : piece of land. No farmer wants to buy this. It's too small to turn any hope of profit. Developers buy it and build on the land. Labour cheer for joy 🥳 In one generation, this happens all over the country to small and large farms. The UK is no longer food secure. We begin to import all our food and suddenly a price of milk doubles, so does your pints, cereal, meat, veg.. Oh no, the UK is in food poverty. Business closes, shops close as they no longer have food to produce and sell. Then, another pandemic hits. We all starve to death. The end #FarmersProtest

*On August 3, Nick Lowles shared misinformation about an acid attack with his 42.5K followers. He also posted riot locations - meaning dangerous people knew where to go. Retweet if you think @lowles_nick should be investigated by the @metpoliceuk over his social media activity.

@AndyPlumb4 May have something to do with allowing same sex marriage, trans day's, gay pride events. Amount of child sex abuse. Christian religion has been hijacked by the depraved.

Of course it’s connected to BREXIT👇 Our current BREXIT model resulted in an end to travel freedoms. But as they weren’t replaced with new ones - processing takes longer - hence the delays. To compound matters -in Nov finger print scans begin. Hence we need a BREXIT upgrade!

In 2017, Piers Morgan & Susanna Reid both screamed at Tommy Robinson to "Shut Up" about Muslim grooming gangs. Now they accept that Robinson was right all along. SIX years too late! @GMB

@MajorGowen_ @GMB So when are people going to start acknowledging that Nick Griffin and BNP were right all along in the early noughties instead of being cast as liars stirring up racial hatred?
