The Sun is just straight up lying about immigration. Truth and data are not important, and they think the country is stupid. Unfortunately it’s blindingly obvious they’re just making things up now. The country sees through it. Rejoin the EU.

Just do the commission now @andyburnham.bsky.social You don’t need an election win mandate just to do the research. We will be pushing hard. For this, and the other obvious policies our country urgently needs. Energy, climate, elections, tax/media/tech reform, are all national security issues.

Burnham announces a national commission on electoral reform (for the 2029 manifesto) Meaning the first PR general election would currently be 2034. But knows what the commission will actually recommend? If you look at the data today, it’s obvious what people want: Proportional Representation.

49% LAB/LD/GRN 42% REF/CON The threat isn’t the far right, stop emulating them! The threat is vote splitting, and not delivering for people, as ever. People want progressive things, not fascist things. Yes, even many right wing voters when you remove the party label from a policy.

🚨 Can we all agree to totally ignore and destroy the “PolitlcsUK”* account everyone gets their news from now? It’s run by a REFORM COUNCILLOR, and trickles bias and fabricated nonsense in under a neutral guise. Share this. Drop it under friends reposts. 👀 Evidence in next post…. /1

Days apart. -Burnham doesn’t cap donations. -Reform get record donations. In addition: - Voter ID will remain (needlessly), it’s estimated that 400k were denied a vote in 2024 as a result - Proportional Representation not part of the “Representation of the People” bill making it an oxymoron

Oooh a severe alert about wildfires from the government. Thing is, we’ve been issuing global alerts for decades that things like this would happen because of climate change. They’ve done basically nothing, and now have the gall to be this patronising. Infuriating.

If Andy Burnham is going to essentially cite mandate when not doing things or even having opinions, he should really cite the mandate he has for the thungs he IS doing. Consistency is important, otherwise it’s just doing whatever you want without any explanations at all.

So l just looked at their website statement ‘ In the interests of transparency, Bailey was elected as a Reform councillor May 2026. He also works for Andrew Rosindell, Reform MP for Romford. He has no influence on Politics UK’s coverage.’ 😤 I followed them and shared their posts I’m a twit 😤
Politics UK posting on blue sky is owned by Bailey Nash-Gardner who just happens to be a Reform councillor NOT an impartial politics site after all .four pics showing 1.Bailey being elected , 2 Bailey supporting Robert Jenrick 3.Bailey with Farage 4.lots of posts full of faux impartiality

Just FYI, PoliticsUK is a right wing front. Their owner Bailey prominent in Reform UK. Step 1. grow follows by posting news Step 2. viral via sharing Step 3. inject propaganda to that audience Step 4. shape British narrative Post this under all their posts, and anyone you see sharing them.

We used to ask “at which tree do we stop?” We know the answer now. We’ll only stop when the last tree is gone. And probably not even then, as we suffocate and starve. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if we stopped burning the planet.

Arguing whether taxing the rich is the answer or not the answer, is the trap that the rich want us to be in. The real answer is that it’s part of the answer. We all know that of course. But if they get to frame the debate in that absolute way, they get us distracted from the rest of the answer.

This I think is the correct strategy. Don’t play Farage’s game. Don’t let him own the narrative as usual. Don’t let him gain any political points by winning. Greens, stand down in Clacton. Let Farage expose himself in public again. Binface will do us proud. Let’s all focus on 2029.

My likely controversial take on Farage’s little game to run a by-election in Clacton and own the media cycle while Burnham is becoming leader. Ignore it. There’s more important things to be spending our energy on.

Starmer, Burnham, whoever. I care more about Labour being a lot bolder and more progressive, and stopping chasing Reform votes by mimicking Reform policies. Than I care about who the leader is. “Don’t make politicians your heroes” as the saying goes. I feel the same about parties too. /1
