If I was a left wing American thinking about voting third party I'd remember that Roe v Wade, Obergfell v Hodges and Obamacare are now on the ballot and hold my nose and vote for Biden
Maureen Lipman said she would no longer vote Labour in October 2014 due to the party’s support for the recognition of Palestine as a state. That’s two elections and a different leader ago
"Leading members of the Green party are saying no to new energy infrastructure. It simply doesn't add up."
@Ed_Miliband
infuriates Green MPs as he calls out the their co-leader for opposing the construction of energy infrastructure in his constituency.
I don't know who needs to hear this but the Labour Mayor of Bristol is the first black man to be elected mayor of any city in Europe, you don't need to mention Tony Benn in the context of Colston
The new
@U2
residency in Las Vegas will be without drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who will be having surgery. Sitting in will be Bram van den Berg. The specific dates of the residency have not been announced.

“Right, you’ve driven me to this. The law states that sixteen years olds can legally drink cider, Perry or mead in a pub if they’re eating a meal. So I’ll have three pints of cider and three carvery meals please”
In the 1990s Andy Burnham worked for various New Labour ministers as a researcher and special advisor while Keir Starmer was defending two environmental activists against McDonalds pro bono and campaigning against the death penalty across the commonwealth
I can’t believe I’m seeing Green Party members who up until this afternoon were vocally against HS2 now describing its cancellation as an outrage, you won, accept some responsibility!!
Nothing screams normal like trying to dunk on a kid who’s probably 13/14 for wanting to get the signature of the bloke who’s almost certainly going to be Prime Minister by the end of the year
BREAKING: We just tried to speak to
@AngelaRayner
about the Green New Deal and why we need to abandon austerity economics.
We need Labour to offer policies that protect people and planet! Tax the rich and invest in all our future!
I’m not gonna lie lads if you’re backing Richard Burgon I’m not going to take you very seriously if you say you also want to tackle antisemitism in the Labour Party
I see absolutely no reason for this to be broadcast at the expense of the taxpayer.
This isn’t party political.
Boris Johnson didn’t make a statement as Leader of the Conservative Party.
He addressed the nation as our Prime Minister.
BBC have big questions to answer on this.
Mr. Room Rater, is it possible now that the election is over to rate rooms on a non partisan basis? Are you a room rater or a hyper partisan person that is the problem? We need less hyper partisanship on backgrounds at this time for our country.
Ward organiser:
- Sounds dull
- What’s a Ward
- I am not organised
Precinct Captain
- Sounds cool
- Everyone knows what a precinct is
- Get to call yourself a captain
Here’s a bold thought but maybe the reason Rosie Duffield isn’t on the front bench, a position that requires collective responsibility, is because she’s writing pieces like “The dark art of toadying to Starmer”
This, by my friend and feminist comrade
@RosieDuffield1
is HILARIOUS and right on the money. Rosie is a mensch of the highest order and the Labour Party (and I say this as a former member and lifelong supporter) is a pathetic pile of twaddle:
WATCH: Yesterday
@Keir_Starmer
ran away from us and said he was “too busy” (!) to talk about the climate crisis.
Today we challenged him on his refusal to take action and back the Green New Deal bill.
Words mean nothing Keir. We need urgent action. We need you to
#BackTheBill
The state broadcaster running a hit piece on the most prominent LGBT+ charity in the country, absolutely nothing to see here, we’ve already seen prominent transphobes move on to attacking bi people and they won’t stop there either
Traditionally, the boys at Eton get a full day holiday when an Etonian becomes PM. As they college broke up for summer about a month ago, they won’t now get that.
Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters have produced another guide for canvassers, advising they “go on the offensive” and tell voters worried about antisemitism: “any Jew who leaves the U.K. after the election of a Labour Government will be making the mistake of a lifetime.”
For all the talk about the SNP outflanking Labour to the left rather than people admitting they’re a big tent party…how do you square that with the last bullet point because no matter what you think of Starmer there’s no way anyone with those views would be in the shadow cabinet
Emily Thornberry if you are reading this i’m free on thursday night and would like to go to the pub please respond to this and go to the pub with me on thursday night when i am free
Just think if conference wasn’t cancelled we’d be a week away from a member of the PLP having their performance of WAP at LabourList karaoke leaked on the internet
Pretty incredible all these young Sherlock Holmes in young labour can dig up loads of stuff about Keir Starmer but can’t find out who retweeted Asa Winstanley from the Young Labour account
This is the moment the Scottish Labour leader had a door slammed on him whilst out campaigning.
For voters north of the border, this election is about more than just Brexit.

it is unbelievable how bad these people are at politics. a middling Chicago alderman could enter British politics with a staff led by David Sirota and end up crowned Lord Protector within nine months.
Have to say that “is what Lisa Nandy said morally equivalent to the man who shot Jo Cox” is some of the stupidest and most upsetting discourse I’ve seen on here for quite a while. Really not acceptable
Slagging off people who’s second preference you desperately need if your candidate is going to beat Starmer is a fantastic strategy that I cannot see backfiring in any way, shape or form
I'm sure all the people who will die because they lose access to healthcare and safe abortions, people in the cages undergoing forced hysterectomies & anyone who isn't a straight white man having their rights rolled back if Trump wins again will thank you for your grandstanding
Who cares?
Both candidates are going to be defending corporatism, free market capitalism, imperialism, marketisation of essential services and attacking universal healthcare tonight - Biden has decades of experience doing this.. let’s hope he doesn’t plagiarise Kinnock again..
Looking forward to speaking at the
