@zackpolanski.bsky.social : ".. this was our second best ever by-election result in history.. people have told me they want to give Burnham a chance. He's got a chance now" Yep. Burnham could introduce rent controls, nationalise water & refuse Rosebank & Jackdaw. But we all know he wont.

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

Former Labour Deputy Leader Lord Thomas Watson, now Senior VP at Palantir UK, wrote to me defending their public contracts. Instead of trading letters, I’ve challenged him to an open, public debate. He can defend Palantir’s ethos; I’ll argue for public accountability. Will you accept, Tom?
Formal letter from Clive Lewis MP, Member of Parliament for Norwich South, to Lord Thomas Watson of Wyre Forest, Senior Vice President of Palantir Technologies UK Limited, dated 7 October 2026. In the letter, Lewis challenges Watson to a public debate regarding Palantir's role in government contracts and public institutions. Lewis rejects Watson's claim that criticisms malign software engineers, stressing that elected officials must scrutinize corporate power, democratic control, and public accountability. He proposes a debate with an impartial chair, equal time, and audience questions.

I've written to the govt about a concern causing real frustration across North Herefordshire: the practice of "farmwashing," where supermarkets use misleading marketing to suggest produce comes from British family farms - when it has actually come from overseas.
Dear Angela, 

I am writing about a growing concern in North Herefordshire that is causing real frustration among farmers and consumers alike: the practice widely referred to as “farmwashing”, whereby supermarkets utilise misleading marketing tactics to suggest produce has been sourced from British family farms - when it has actually come from overseas. 

This issue has particular resonance in my constituency. North Herefordshire is home to many family farms, and local residents care strongly about supporting British food and farming. Yet there is increasing concern that this public support for British farmers is being manipulated and misused by major supermarkets who engage in “farmwashing” tactics, profiting from imagery and marketing that creates a false impression of where food comes from. These practices not only undermine the ability of consumers to make informed choices and support British producers, but also place yet more strain on small family farmers at a time when many are already struggling to cope with the devastating impacts of climate breakdown-induced extreme weather events, and with rising fuel and fertiliser costs due to the illegal war on Iran. 

I would therefore be grateful if you would work with retailers and standards bodies to ensure that food labelling is accurate, clear, and not misleading to consumers - including in relation to country of origin and packaging design. I also ask that you consider whether further guidance or stronger rules are needed to prevent branding practices which create a false impression of British or local origin, and that you meet with me and farmers in North Herefordshire who have been directly affected by farmwashing practices to discuss any further support needed from government to combat this issue. 

I would additionally welcome the opportunity to discuss not only food labelling, but the wider pressures on family farms, including the impacts of climate breakdown and the need for greater government support to m…

For 14yrs, the Tories cratered our economy, added thousands to our cost of living, melted down public services and brexited us into decades of eye-watering expense and lost opportunity. That’s still their plan. With tax breaks for the super rich paid for by welfare cuts. So what TF is this headline?
