"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."
Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

Having the energy to attack Iran because "it's dangerous and totalitarian" but not keeping that energy to attack Russia, which is dangerous at a global scale, totalitarian, planning to invade Europe, and threatening to launch nuclear weapons every two weeks, doesn't really seem coherent.
Congratulations, to Hannah for this historic win! This shows that a people powered party, can win against the billionaire backed parties. Thank you, to all those who gave up their time to campaign, it couldn't have been done without all of you. There certainly will be more of this to come! 💚🎉
Thus, the Trump sycophants will believe him when he says "You are more prosperous, you are happier, you are more successful than ever before," because they have chosen to remove those teeth from the gears of their reasoning. All I could think of last night was 'so many missing teeth."
5/7
Good morning, Cicely! This is Chris in the Morning coming at you on KBHR 570AM.
The thermometer is reading a balmy minus 20 this morning! So, throw a log on the fire and get your coffee brewing, kids.
This morning's sermon is about 'missing teeth' - just go with me here...🧵1/7
Bit blowy out
Farage and the far right in general come from a grievance culture. If you do what they want, even maximally – Brexit – they’ll move the goalposts and keep moaning. If you engage seriously with their concerns, they’ll find new ones. You will never satisfy them, because they don’t want to be satisfied
The fascist Felon's abuse of power is simply an attempt to exert control, incite violence, stoke fear & keep us from fighting against ICE for their unlawful, shameful, violent acts.
Keep exercising your right to protest, and THANK YOU‼️🙏🏻🫡✊🏻💙

🔴‘Keir Starmer’s Attempt to Out-Farage Reform on Migration Will Only End Badly’
The Prime Minister’s ‘unutterably depressing’ decision to follow Nigel Farage into the gutter of inflammatory anti-migrant rhetoric is a terrible error, argues Alexandra Hall Hall

Steelers in Dublin #HereWeGo
I hope you’re not waiting for some clever defence of Starmer’s speech. As you know, I try to be fair and have praised him on foreign policy. I don’t think the White Paper is terrible, but ALL of the language surrounding it is inexcusable, insupportable, and indefensible. He can kiss my migrant butt.
Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around.
They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway.
It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing
Mini twister just hit Cloudwater brewery in Manchester and sucked part of the roof off!
Beer still being served so no need to panic 👍
Might have to call in and try a couple today 🤔
I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday.

The US government has frozen more than $2.2bn (£1.67bn) in funding for Harvard university after it defied demands made by the Trump administration to curb protests on campus

Trump blames Zelensky for starting war after the massive Russian attack on Sumy.
Trump is a traitor working for or collaborating with Putin. Farage is their frog-faced tool.

Heard this gem from @joshuaidehen.bsky.social a couple of days ago and it's been on repeat ever since. Also check out Mum Does The Washing.

Britain's wrongest man rides again.
🚨 🚨 🚨
The Seahawks are trading WR DK Metcalf to the Steelers for premium draft pick compensation, per me and @tompelissero.bsky.social, as finally(!) Pittsburgh gets its big-play weapon.
Metcalf will also get a contract extension to go with the trade.
This is outrageous. I'm sharing in the hope Becky's case is looked, and that someone can help her.
Breathe.
This should be a chilling warning for the rest of Europe. If the US can help Putin kill Ukrainians today, the US can help Putin kill lots of other Europeans tomorrow.
Reform UK have won 0 out of the 6 council by-elections declared from yesterday’s vote.
That means they’ve won just 12 seats from 213 council by-elections since the General Election.
