To clarify, he was fine afterwards but he heard the story and said I had put on weight! I’m not taking that from anyone!!

I’ve been a huge critic of Keir Starmer but today this was spot on. The death of Henry Nowak is a tragedy that should indeed be a turning point. I get the anger but the point of that turn however isn’t to get bladdered and fight coppers. It achieves nothing.

No10 source confirms to me there will be a reshuffle next Saturday to try and move the news cycle on from what is expected to be a dreadful night for Labour “Soft left” Lucy Powell expected to be back, Rayner to be offered, Kyle gone, Kendall possibly.

Lots of conjecture about what Andy Burnham may do or not. But he’s already laid out a blueprint in Manchester for the country. 3.1% growth Housing First to tackle homelessness Technical education parity with university Increased housing Tackling the skills shortage

My Mum rang me yesterday in tears, worried that my youngest brother who is autistic and diabetic may lose his PIP entitlement due to only being 20. All this week has done is leave me to question why I’m in the Labour Party, we should be so much better than this.

We voted to take our ball home and not let anyone else play with it and that’s ok. But why take a knife to the ball so we can’t play with it too? £1bn quid to make back £100bn in imports and exports per year without rejoining? I’d take it.

By the Bank Holiday at the end of the month 36 pubs will have shut. 120k redundancies since the election 13p profit on the average pint 3rd largest employer in the country Whether it be pubs or Pret, we’re a service based economy that relies on hospitality. They need a cut to VAT before even more go to the wall.

Spoke to Vanessa Feltz on LBC earlier about what I’m hoping to see moving forward in the Labour Party. Didn’t expect to get quite as emotional as I did talking about Andy Burnham but we are crying out for an authentic voice that makes you feel like you matter

I didn’t expect to get upset today and I didn’t expect Martin to have tears in his eyes. Even if you don’t agree, if you’re a parent I hope you can appreciate where I’m coming from. As my Great Grandma said: don’t let anyone tell you war is good or glamorous. It is hell.

2 weeks ago a man was killed for his political beliefs and we all (Trump included) said we need to be more careful with our language. Today Trump falsely said Sadiq Khan wants sharia law in London, effectively painting a target on his back for extremists. So irresponsible.

I believe Keir Starmer when he says he didn’t know Mandelson failed his security clearance. His own staff would tell me how things would go on around him. He is an empty vessel. My money would be on the former chief of staff who was Mandelson’s protege and likely promised him this, saying it had to go through at any cost with Olly Robbins doing Number 10 a favour and being thrown under the bus afterwards. It also throws that stolen phone into new light all of a sudden…

As I said last week. If Andy Burnham was blocked on a factional basis I would resign as a member of the Labour Party. Yesterday I did that. I had hope things could change last week. Today I have no hope. Those in and around No10 are killing the party I love deeply.

A speech that sounded like he was in opposition with no answer to those who voted with their feet on Thursday. Someone close to Starmer has got to have a word with him. It’s time for the Joe Biden like conversation. Go whilst there is time and do the right thing by the country.

Starmer will be ok on this one, polling is on his side and I just think most people don’t care anymore let alone consider “Brexit betrayals” Don’t turn your nose up at E-gates - it’ll be popular! I just hope it’ll be in time for this stag do I’m off to in Magaluf next week!

I didn’t go into politics to cut people’s benefits, I went into politics to make people’s lives better, protect the vulnerable and give them a voice. The government’s priorities are all wrong, why do tough decisions get placed on the backs of my mates and not theirs?

We’re locking up chocolate bars rather than locking up shoplifters & high streets have been taken over by organised crime for illegal cigarettes, drugs and yes even chocolate. The Centre for Social Justice has a plan to repair our broken high streets coming soon!

I will take no joy when Starmer eventually goes. This country has felt like it has been frozen in a permanent crisis for the last decade. People are struggling & suffering and see no improvement in their lives. It is them that are the real losers of this whole sorry saga

Andy Burnham won every ward in every constituency in Greater Manchester because he reaches people Labour can’t. Normal people He is the normalisation of a professional class Labour Party that is out of touch with its core vote. I will be just one of millions they’ll lose by 2029

#OperationRaiseTheColours seems to be an organised online campaign to incite a moral panic that we’re not allowed to say we’re English anymore I always felt more proud to be from Stockport than I was to be English & I’d wager most ordinary people just don’t care about this stuff

As it stands the main legacy of this Labour government will be personally delivering Nigel Farage to Number 10. We have poll numbers that are historically beyond turning round and a leader who is the most unpopular since time began. It’s as simple as that.
