ladyjulux.bsky.social @ladyjulux.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Surprisingly, I find myself agreeing with Kemi Badennoch, Labour women MPs should be bold and put themselves forward to be leader.

ladyjulux.bsky.social @ladyjulux.bsky.social · 21/06/2026IMHO as someone who voted Labour for the first time in 2024: Burnham must face scrutiny of his ideas & policies and not just be given the Premiership on a silver platter.
