Wishing a very Happy Holi to Hindus celebrating across Great Harwood, Hyndburn and beyond. May your day be filled with colour, joy, and celebration. 🙏
All set for tonight's Hyndburn Borough Council Full Council Budget Setting meeting.
Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU in a new referendum says a new ITV poll, and a recent survey by YouGov found that 63% of the UK population would vote to rejoin the EU
This should be the direction of travel for Labour now.

The changes we need to make as a party aren't difficult. Labour doesn’t need fantasy politics or to out‑Reform Reform. We need our roots: the party that created the NHS, the welfare state, and helped lift millions out of poverty — bold, believable, and focused on the big changes Britain needs. 🌹
Hyndburn is outperforming Lancashire and national business birth rates, showing what a Labour🌹controlled council can do when in power.
🚀 Determined entrepreneurs
🤝 Strong partnerships
🏛️ A council backing growth
💪 A borough defying stereotypes
📈 And we'll push on further this year.
👀 Check out just how good the Hyndburn Borough Council Jobs Fair was earlier this week.
✅ Bigger and better than ever, there was a fantastic range of jobs, apprenticeships and training courses from both local and national businesses.
Incredibly proud to be standing as one of @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social candidates for Labour's National Policy Forum (NPF) in the North West.
All those involved in the disastrous appointment of Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the US must be held to account, and it is right that personnel in Number 10 most supportive of Mandelson face consequences. We now need to tear out the regressive politics of elite privilege and toxic factionalism that enabled this scandal - and which will only produce more - root and branch.
A statement from Mainstream's Interim Council on the departure of Morgan McSweeney from Number 10.
This.
That's a shame, I hope you come back. Change happens from within.
The Mandelson scandal shows Labour at our worst: outdated elites, spin, and top‑down politics. We need to return to our roots, a member led movement, driven by communities, grounded in real change.
We must be bold, believable, deliverable and transparent every step of the way.
Cheaper pints. Poorer kids.
Reform UK's plans to reinstate the two‑child benefit cap won’t “help pubs”.
It will push kids back into hunger, cold homes and poverty.
That’s the real cost of this policy.
Movements built on hope last. Movements built on anger fade. Reform can whip up frustration for a while, but without a positive plan, it will run out of steam, because people want a future, not a fight. 🧵End
Politics should be about improving lives, not feeding resentment. Negativity might make noise, but it doesn’t build anything. Eventually people realise that shouting at the world doesn’t change it. 🧵4
Jealousy is a powerful emotion. And Reform thrives on it. Rather than encouraging people to lift themselves up, it tells them everyone else should be dragged down to their level. That’s not a vision, it’s a dead end. 🧵3
The truth is, Reform often taps into people whose lives haven’t turned out how they hoped. Instead of offering solutions, it offers someone to blame. It’s easier to point fingers than to reflect, rebuild and move forward. 🧵2
Reform’s whole brand is built on anger, blame and resentment, but there’s only so much negativity people can absorb before they switch off. A movement fuelled by bitterness eventually burns itself out. 🧵1
Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay. We remember the 6m Jewish people and others murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.
We must never stop remembering.
Burnham is hardly Farage to be fair.
Which could also mean he's out of step? 🤷♂️
Why?
It's essential that local party members, and the people of Gorton and Denton, have the opportunity to select and elect the strongest possible Labour candidate to take on Reform - with no qualified candidates excluded.
If it was right in 2020, it's right in 2026.

Thrilled to be standing with these formidable candidates for Labour Party's NEC. Please do get in contact if you have any questions and let us/we know when your NEC nomination meetings are. Thanks Cat
A route for Andy Burnham to return to Parliament?

Angela Rayner is right. We promised to
“finally bring the feudal leasehold system to an end”, including banning the sale of new leasehold flats. The manifesto also added: “We will tackle unregulated and unaffordable ground rent charges.” We must stick to our campaign pledges.
This is our local Green candidate. Former Reform. How can the Greens let former Reformers represent them?
There's still time for the government to do the right thing and deliver the Hillsborough Law in full. It's what we promised as a party and it's the right thing to do.
The Greens have entered into coalitions with the Tories. Need I say more?
No, definitely the Greens.
