No one who believes that Irish families do not deserve justice should be anywhere near Labour leadership. And disgracefully smearing those families is of a part with the arrogance that made the Brits feel they were untouchable.

When we started our campaign to bring water back into public ownership, we knew it would be a long, hard fight.
Now it’s bearing fruit.
This objection hasn’t been made in a vacuum. It’s a response to the fact that we’ve won the argument: water should be in public hands.

The question now is whether ministers will listen to the public, or keep defending a failed model.

I recently hosted UNISON care workers in parliament, supporting their Fair Visa campaign.
These are people who came to the UK to care for the most vulnerable, but the Government’s proposals risk leaving them in limbo.
I’ll continue working with them to secure a fair system that recognises their contribution.

The suffragettes *blew up* Lloyd George’s house!
An indictment on how liberals remember history.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property
The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

I’ve backed a parliamentary motion calling for prison education to be brought back in-house.
Too many institutions - 82% - are failing to deliver the standards of education people deserve.
We need a system that supports educators to do their jobs properly and gives prisoners a real chance to turn their lives around.

Fundamentally these NPF Elections are about what kind of Labour Party we want to be🌹
To defeat the far-right we must rebuild a Labour movement that listens to its members & delivers for people.
That's why Mainstream exists. Nominate our NPF candidates at your next CLP meeting.

Politics is a funny old business. Here’s the Daily Mail condemning a party for being racist in support of its preferred racist party.

I spoke with Rob, a Makerfield resident and Environment Agency whistleblower featured in Channel 4's 'Dirty Business'.
He wants to see Andy Burnham @andy4makerfield elected and water brought into public ownership.

The growing need for a Manchesterism approach to AI & data.
Time to end reliance on foreign, privately controlled AI for core public, economic & security functions.
We need sovereign AI capacity, incl open source models, trusted data infrastructure & domestic tech capability.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

I don’t want Rupert Lowe as my PM.
So, perhaps it’s about time we started thinking in terms of tactical trade offs rather than absolute purity tests.
Hold Burnham to account. Push him.
But lets get serious about the threat we face.
Despite a few progressive *sounding* sound-bites, which I don't trust, @AndyBurnhamGM is looking more and more like continuity Starmer with a more human mask.
I'm afraid that, as in 2015, @andy4makerfield hasn't got the bottle to be a truly transformational leader.
