This Burnham campaign video deserves a retweet (and many more). Take a look at the vast (shady) money and professional media operation behind Reform. It’s going to be an existential battle.Wherever you stand on the Labour leadership, this seat must be won.

Why should audiences care about the BBC cuts?
Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said: "It's our BBC; it's a public service broadcaster - the clue is in the name. It belongs to us. There should be proper, transparent scrutiny of discussions between the BBC and the government about future funding."

Nottinghamshire Police tried to stop us reporting matters of public interest and when it didn't go the way they wanted it to, they reported us to our regulator.
Thankfully, IPSO saw sense and threw their complaint out. For the Chief Constable to say now that this was a mistake is quite frankly pathetic.
Instead of trying to protect their reputation, the force and Chief Constable should have been communicating properly with the people who really matter here - the families of the victims and the survivors of those horrific attacks.
