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.

Andy Burnham expected to say he will push ahead with electoral reform plans
Exclusive: Labour conference speech will kick off process that could replace current system with proportional representation

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.

Oh, lol, did I forget Rupert Lowe!!? Bless Ok 49% LAB/LD/GRN 46% REF/CON/RES What a difference he’s made. This balance is essentially what the polls have shown for decades. Look at historic election results.

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.

Here it is, pretending in public about why Labour won GE2024. In reality is was tactical voting against the Tories in a system that’s broken, unrepresentative, and hackable. x.com/bbcnewsnight... You’ll eat those words at the next GE.

🚨 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

If your premise is that voter fraud is significant in the uk, present your evidence and make your case. Good luck.

Mate, go look into this before drawing nonsense equivalences. Take a look at the electoral fraud the parties have done too, should give you some perspective

We can hope he corrects the record, and we’ll all give him the respect he’ll deserve? Until then, we judge by his actions, which so far are a not nearly enough on any topic

I’m not saying there are not ways, in fact it’s basically what I’ve been working on the last 5 years! Just that there’s nuance needed in the strategy, because of the system.. a system that can also be used

Cheaper to just not have a requirement for voter ID at all, since there’s no need for it in the first place.

Josh Russell → @MVTFWD @joshfwd.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
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.

we can't kick the problem of climate change down the road another 3 years while our new prime minister finds his mandate. if there's no mandate right now, what's the point of even being prime minister? DO SOMETHING. screw what the oligarch owned media says about it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You might have been getting your news from Reform. Once you know, you’ll want to make sure people stop reposting them. PoliticsUK is run by a Reform councillor who used to campaign for the very worst Tories.
