As the World Cup kicks off I keep returning to one thought: this Labour Government is only 36 minutes into the first half. I mentioned this on the doorstep in Makerfield this week and people understood the need to give the Government time. I look forward to going back...

I was in Makerfield on a couple of occasions. I’m delighted Andy Burnham won the by-election and he will be a great MP and voice for Labour. Outside of Westminster, everyone I speak to cannot get their head around the idea of changing Prime Ministers now - especially after the Tory leadership chaos they voted for Keir Starmer and The Labour Party to draw a line under. It’s time to unite and get on with governing the country. 🇬🇧

In March I asked the last Government to restore funding to UNRWA as other nations started to fund them again. Today 2 weeks into this Labour Government David Lammy stepped up and did the right thing for millions of Gazans in severe need. This is the difference Labour makes.

Baroness Jones, "My Lords, I know that many on the Labour benches don't want to hear this" "But this Labour government is more authoritarian than the last Conservative government" *laughter in the chamber* "Not only has the Labour government accepted all the draconian laws of the Conservative government, it actually continues to add to them" "Now how many times in the previous 14 years the Labour benches spoke up against laws clamping down on protests, but now they're supporting them, and even defending and adding to them"

🚨 Another Lie Told by Keir Starmer or He’s Just Delusional… “The next election is not going to be Labour versus the Tories, it's going to be this government, this PATRIOTIC government of renewal in this country, up against a divisive Reform who will tear our country apart.”

(1/2) This was the week in which the lies Labour told to get into office have truly come back to haunt them. Pretending they wouldn't have to raise major taxes or significantly cut public expenditure, failing to acknowledge the runaway profligacy of the public sector and welfare system, not to mention Sir Keir Starmer's abject refusel to *be* a politician and engage in the practice of persuading and cajoling his colleagues, has given their own MPs licence to takeover the agenda of government. The whole enterprise of Starmer and Rachel Reeves is clearly finished and they are, just a year into government, hostages of the parliamentary party.

Andrew Marr, "We have to be optimistic going forward" "I think just having a stable government for five, maybe ten years, which has ordinary, down to earth, serious people, talking like the rest of us, in charge of the government, is going to mean a wall of money coming into this country from around the world" "If you look at the chaos in France and Italy, and the chaos in the United States, for the first time in a long time Britain is like a little haven of peace and stability" #BBCQT

In the release of these files, we have seen unprecedented transparency from Keir Starmer and this The Labour Party government. It is a stark contrast to what happened under the previous administration and speaks to the values and decency of our Prime Minister. I spoke to Nick Ferrari on LBC earlier this morning.👇

✅ Polly Mackenzie nails it on Newsnight: If you want to give Starmer’s failing government a bloody nose, vote for Andy Burnham in Makerfield. “Vote Labour, get rid of Starmer because the point is actually Andy Burnham can get rid of Keir Starmer by September rather than Nigel Farage, who's gonna take years to do it.” “I don't understand why he's not campaigning on that, to be honest, because to me it's the slam dunk victory in Makerfield.” #AndyForMakerfield #SaveBritishFarming

Andy Burnham had Dawn Butler for support in MAKERFIELD and they claim to have knocked on every door in the constituency. He says this could be a turning point for Labour. I think he’s deluded.

STARMER’S SUICIDE MISSION: PM CAMPAIGNS FOR THE MAN PLOTTING TO KNIFE HIM 🤷‍♂️ David Lammy just confirmed on BBC Breakfast that Keir Starmer will head to Makerfield to campaign for Andy Burnham. Yes, that Andy Burnham. The same man whose only reason for parachuting into this seat is to replace Starmer as Labour leader and Prime Minister. What a f*cking farce. Starmer is going to actively go out there and help drum up votes for his own rival. The sitting Labour MP conveniently quit to clear the path, the NEC rubber stamped the whole stitch up, and now the Prime Minister is personally helping install the guy grooming himself to take his job. You couldn’t make it up! Labour is not a serious political party. It’s a circular firing squad and Starmer is the one handing out the bullets! Utterly ludicrous.

I resigned the Labour whip during Wakefield Council meeting. Whilst speaking in a debate on austerity and welfare cuts, it became clear that the Labour Group are unwilling to genuinely represent the needs and interests of our district. Instead of supporting my motion in demanding an end to austerity, the reversal of all welfare cuts and the proper financing of local government, among other things. Labour Councillors overwhelmingly responded by watering it down, defending or excusing the government's actions and deflecting back onto the Tories and Lib Dems. Yes, criticism of the Tories and Lib Dems is warranted for their involvement in austerity over the last 14 years but, it is a Labour government that is doing it now. If we are not prepared to oppose this government with the same veracity as we did the Tories, then we are nothing more than hypocrites. Putting the current welfare cuts into perspective, they are the fifth largest tranche of cuts since 2010 and the largest since 2015. Essentially meaning that this so-called Labour Government are cutting benefits at higher levels than 9 of the 14 years the Tories were in office. Aditionally, the current disability cuts go further than the Tories were prepared to go to in 2018, as they are 3x larger than the cuts that Ian Duncan Smith resigned over. Whilst there have been other issues within the Labour Group and the wider Party that have influenced my decision, this debate was the final straw. The Labour Group are unwilling to call the government's cuts for what they really are - a continuation of Tory austerity. I was already suspended from the party for voting against the Labour Group's austerity budget which, reduced Council services by £29m, cut 250 jobs and raised Council tax by the maximum. I cannot continue to legitimise a Labour Cabinet which lied about the scale of the job cuts, and tried to decieve residents when u-turning on cuts to libraries and the garden waste services. I cannot remain a member of a political group that conducts itself in this manner, and is willing to stand by whilst the government betrays its own values and the working-class communities it is supposed to represent. Equally, I cannot continue to legitimise a Labour government that has reneged on its manifesto commitments and is attacking the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. This is not the Labour Party I joined, and it is not the Labour Party people voted for. Our district deserves better than Councillors who are putting their own positions and allowances over the needs of our residents. We deserve politicians, at all levels of government, who are honest and will genuinely represent our interests. This decision is not me leaving the Labour Party - it is the Labour Party that has left us. They do not represent working-class communities anymore and I could not look my residents in the eye if I were to continue legitimising the disgraceful choices of this Party. Just to be clear, whilst I have resigned the Labour whip, I will continue to represent Hemsworth, Kinsley, Fitzwilliam, South Hiendley & Felkirk. It will just be from the opposition benches, as an Independent Councillor. Solidarity, Jake
