Blimey! At the risk of blowing my own trumpet, look at my prediction before the exit poll was out. I got it EXACTLY right with 412 seats Labour; 72 seats Lib Dems; 4 seats Greens. (And to think some of you scoffed at my narrative over these last 18 months!) #GeneralElection2024

This is the work of the nudge unit. Ignore the words. Red means STOP. Green means GO. The subliminal message is to encourage people to break the lockdown. The government's real aim is still herd immunity, whilst avoiding the blame for the deaths that occur as a result. #StayAlert

Seriously, as a @UKLabour member, I really think we need to reciprocate and stand down in Caroline Lucas's constituency. And I would happily see us stand aside in another target seat of the Green's choice as well. We need to unite in an anti-Tory alliance. #ProgressiveAlliance

My prediction: The Tories will be wiped out on Thursday. Labour will win by a landslide - but with fewer votes than Corbyn got in 2017. If that happens, Starmer will have persuaded fewer people to vote for him. He will simply have played the undemocratic FPTP system better. (1/2)

It's getting more desperate every day. They scoff about cults, and yet every waking hour is devoted to attacking Corbyn. Flailing around, trying to find a new angle as the previous one fails. For them, it's all about Corbyn. For me, it's all about electing a socialist government.

It's been years now and we've not heard any original or incisive political thoughts from Corbyn. He's so very boring.

Either you press the nuclear button first - which would be mad. Or you press it in retaliation - in which case it wasn't a deterrent. #bbcqt

I’m no lawyer, but my considered legal opinion is that this is deeply unfunny offensive shit. #IStandWithJeremyCorbyn

I can never work out whether the usual suspects are actually stupid or being wilfully ignorant, but it seems that they missed the whole point of the #WeAreCorbyn hashtag. It's a statement that it's not about Corbyn - it's about us. He is just the figurehead for our mass movement.

A word of warning to those behind the coordinated smear campaign against Corbyn. They tried the same with the SNP - and look what happened.

Now then boys and girls - if you see a fatuous hypocrite banging on about free speech when her own party has a long tradition of narrow-minded intolerance and outright censorship such as the homophobic Section 28, I want you all to shout "Nadine Dorries!" #IntellectualPanto

Jeremy Corbyn's left wing politics are reactionary, says NHS-privatising, bank-deregulating, tuition-fee-introducing war criminal Tony Blair

Jim Murphy, the man who took Labour from 41 seats to ONE seat in Scotland, the man who blocked a Jewish woman's bid to stand for the NEC, has the arrogance to lecture about anti-semitism and leadership. This is when some on the Labour right make me sick...

How often do I have to say this? The last two General Elections were lost by the people lecturing Corbyn on the need to win elections #Lab16

Owen Smith supported David Cameron's disastrous intervention in Libya. Jeremy Corbyn opposed it. That's the sort of Labour leader I want.

I'm trying to make this simple enough for the average gammon (or DUP MP) to understand. If you're in the middle section, it's your own choice...

Pathetic schoolboy debating stuff from Michael Gove. A vile opportunistic little man with no backbone, sliming his way across the political landscape. #NoConfidenceDebate
