Labour needs to look to voters it will lose on the left, rather than simply obsessing over Reform, survey suggests Will be interesting to see if the West of England mayoralty goes to the Greens this week, as some polls indicate labourlist.org/2025/04/labo...

Please share far and wide

Ed Miliband is right, spot on but the Labour leadership need to get with the message. Capture and storage is a completely dead duck. There needs to be exploration of 'tidal' & geothermal as well as solar & wind.

The only way to stop people being forced into the hands of people smugglers is to introduce safe routes for people to seek safety in the UK.

Yet another brilliant piece of work 👏

UK economy growth: 1% Green economy growth: 10% But Reform and the Tories say we can’t afford the green economy.  What planet….?

@therestpolitics.bsky.social There are some people in the UK who still have EU freedom of movement. Anyone in Northern Ireland, born there, or who has Irish ancestors is entitled to an Irish passport which allows them EU freedom of movement. Doesn't this discriminate against the rest of the UK?

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... This was a fascinating watch and a brilliant exposé of how peoples' lives are being ruined by a corrupt system of loans which become an exploitive feast for the vultures in the banking industry,
