Same Old Tories - just a new name. The truth is that Reform contains all those Tories you didn’t want in 2024. Don’t let the name change fool you.

An “interesting”evening for Greater Manchester politics - I’m a fan of @AndyBurnhamGM as Mayor but it would be a massive gamble for him and @UKLabour if we have to face a Mayoral by-election. We can’t risk @reformparty_uk winning in GM - so let’s not take that risk.

Wow. Croydon Labour has voted for change.
“Rowenna Davis won the Croydon Mayoral selection with 82% of the vote on a 46% turnout.”

No one seemed to object when Churchill turned up at the White House in his war-fighting gear.

Trump didn’t put his hand on the bible - I assume that means it doesn’t count?!

Truly delighted to see my friend and former Chief Executive Eleanor Kelly awarded a much deserved CBE in tonight’s New Year’s honours. Recognition of a life working for local government, serving Southwark, London and many more beyond during the pandemic.

Delighted to hear that the incomparable @bryony1963 has just been elected as the President of the Socialist, Green and Progressive Party group at the @COECongress - a rare honour for a UK delegate! Take that Bobby Jenrick!!

For many people the moment of the election. Farewell Liz Truss - the worst Prime Minister in our history - and an idiotic politician.

I grew up in Weston-super-Mare. I never believed I’d see it, but this morning @DanAldridgeWSM becomes Weston’s first Labour MP. Well done Dan!

Excuse me @BBCNews - why do we have to hear uninterrupted speeches from Reform UK candidates when they will only win a handful of seats? They haven’t won this General Election! And won’t.

So proud tonight of @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour - it really does look like we are going to end the terrible Labour losing streak and have a Labour government again! Britain needs this change.
