Labour wins a by-election-It's bad news for Labour. Labour loses a by-election-It's bad news for Labour. Reform wins a by-election-It's good news for Reform. Reform loses a by-election-It's good news for Reform. That's the take of #r4today over and over again.

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

"Nigel Farage wants to leave the ECHR to make YOU considerably poorer. No state pension. No minimum wage. No state benefits. No maternity pay. No holiday pay. No sick pay. And ultimately, no NHS. Nigel Farage is not on your side. Wake-up!" via Sarah

Every day our Labour government sends out Press Releases. Lots of them. I share the most relevant. Main Stream media ignore 90% of them. Because they are determined to have a Reform PM. And don’t care what chaos that brings to our country. Because their owners don’t live here!

What a nasty, sordid nest of vipers to have festering within the party! Labour could do themselves a huge favour and bin Blue Labour. It would be a very strong signal that they're walking away from their Reform cosplaying days. If instead they listen, well... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I have never seen such a political and personal pile-on than with what is happening to Labour and Starmer. They've made mistakes, for me, only two, but are being ripped to pieces. Who's responsible? A toxic MSM mostly but a dumbed-down public doesn't help. We're in a dark place with no way out 😒

We're not there yet, but one future benign use of AI will be to feed it ALL of the MP/peer expense data, and get it to cross-reference against every speech, written question, etc. and tease out every instance of "influence" ie where payment led to an attempt to change or delay policy or legislation.

Labour aren’t spending all their energy conniving on ways to accept dodgy untraceable donations. Nope. Instead heads down looking at ways to improve our living standards and get our country back on its feet

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat. And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned." That's Brexit.

Can I just mention that, under this govt, a new 54 bed mental health ward has just opened in Derby, & funding has been secured for the Derby Florence Nightingale hospital. Labour is getting on with the huge task of restoring our NHS. If nobody gets to hear about any of it the myths just get to go on

So Jenrick does a PR stunt and the BBC lap it up and do a prime time hour long phone in giving him the publicity he was after. But then again it fits in perfectly with the BBC agenda under Robbie Gibb.

I'm waiting for the video of Robert Jenrick chasing tax dodgers - including his former cabinet colleagues - and asking them if they think it's right not pay. But it doesn't seem to have been posted yet.

I just saw and fact checked an interesting claim. Robert Jenrick posted a video where vigilante style he confronts a fare dodger on the Tube, and claims that Khan's London is the Wild West. Actually, the crime rate in his constituency is higher than London. Go to Newark, Jenrickman...

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

but it's worth it for the $90 million military parade for the president who avoided military service. roughly half the US has traded even a faint fading glimmer of hope for a restored or even stabilized environment because hating persons of color/immigrants/transgender persons meant more to them.

Brilliant! The Labour government has issued over £630m to schools, hospitals, and other public buildings for measures including heat pumps, solar panels, insulation and double glazing. It is estimated measures like this will save the public sector around £650m a year over the next 12 years. 1/3

The phrase "grooming gangs" IS a dog whistle. Which doesn't mean the crimes aren't real. We've moved on in the last 20 years. The police (some forces were guilty of appalling decisions) have actually been arresting people, who have actually been prosecuted. . . #bbclaurak
