Mothin Ali - on point as ever. It is humbling to see that a community gardener from Gipton & Harehills holds more integrity in his little finger than the entire Westminster political Elite.

This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet? | Aditya Chakrabortty
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Crimes against language.

Dear Prime Minister, In recent days we have seen a deeply concerning escalation in conflict in the Middle East following a series of illegal and dangerously irresponsible airstrikes on Iran by the United States and Israel. You have now confirmed that UK bases will be used by the US for their operations in the area. This is a significant concession to President Donald Trump and one which risks drawing the UK into a dangerous conflict. During your campaign to be elected leader of the Labour Party, you spoke compellingly about learning the lessons of the Iraq war. In particular, you set out legislation you would pass as Prime Minister, ensuring that military action is only taken if: • The lawful case for it is made • There is a viable objective • Consent is given by the House of Commons. We agree that such legislation is needed to prevent the UK from being dragged into destructive, illegal and dangerous wars abroad, and so we have today tabled the Armed Conflict (Requirements) Bill. The Bill requires that 1. Before armed forces may be deployed for armed conflict, a Minister of the Crown must publish a statement setting out the reasons for the deployment, an assessment of its compliance with international law, the objective of the deployment and an assessment of the viability of that objective, and 2. Any such deployment must be approved in advance by a resolution of the House of Commons
I invite your support to pass this bill. In an increasingly unstable world, it is more important than ever that decisions about the UK’s involvement in military action abroad are taken carefully, soberly, and with the best interests of the British people at heart. We believe this piece of legislation would ensure that. Yours sincerely, Dr Ellie Chowns MP
Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader.
He supported it then, and he should support it now.
Abysmal, immoral, cruel, small hearted, tiny minded, ineffective, undemocratic, and just generally utterly indecent. What a bitter godforesaken disappointment these people are.

US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called ‘allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.
Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,
I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.
Thanks,
Zack Polanski
Labour MP Ian Byrne: "The lines from the PM and Cabinet today essentially labelling the Green Party as extremist is appalling, desperate and frankly embarrassing.
"It also makes very clear that the leadership has zero understanding of where it has been going wrong."
Left-Labour MPs are waiting for Starmer to be kicked out, to see who comes next
But given rule changes, Labour Friends of Israel power, millionaire donations, it won't be anyone
- vaguely left
- anti-genocide
- anti-privatisation
Which leaves left-Labour MPs with a dilemma ...

Labour MP Clive Lewis doesn’t hold back on the Gorton and Denton result in this interview with ITV
@zackpolanski.bsky.social with the perfect reply to all those people complaining that one of the issues the Greens campaigned on in Gorton & Denton is Gaza.
Poor Labour. If only Reform hadn't split their vote.
Hannah Spencer walking into Westminster, sucking her teeth, tutting, and muttering "tell you what, you've had some cowboys in here."
Resting my feet today, as I'll be on them all day tomorrow for the #GortonAndDenton by-election. Here's my two penn'orth as to why I've reconnected with campaigning, and why I genuinely believe a vote for Hannah Spencer is the right thing to do.
#Spencer a no-nonsense local #plumber is my kind of candidate. She’s not some polished elite, she’s from the trenches, pushing for public energy ownership to slash bills & reclaim profits from offshore #FatCats

With extensive financial links between Cabinet Office ministers & Labour Together now revealed plus ex senior LT staffer holding post in Cabinet Office ethics team, it’s ludicrous for Keir Starmer to expect people to believe this is an independent inquiry.
BREAKING:
A proper constituency poll has the Green Party in the lead in the crucial, game-changing Gorton parliamentary byelection, narrowly ahead of Reform, with Labour trailing in 3rd place…

This is truly depressing. Your job is to be a legislator, not a social worker nor some kind of local ombudsmen. No wonder we are in the mess we are. You see the rule as keeping the locals happy while embracing being libby fodder.
